I'm a warm, dependable, and experienced nanny with 5+ years of experience caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I'm passionate about creating a safe, loving, and engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and feel confident. My experience includes infant care, feeding, nap routines, developmental activities, meal preparation, children's laundry, light housekeeping related to the children, outings, transportation, and caring for children when they are sick. I'm patient, organized, attentive, and respectful of each family's parenting style. I currently work with a wonderful family and am looking for my next long-term opportunity. I have a reliable car, driving experience, and speak English and Spanish. My goal is to become a trusted part of a family while providing exceptional care and supporting each child's happiness, development, and independence

“Britney is truly amazing and absolutely trustworthy person! She has been taking care of our 15 months old daughter for 5 months now and they both have developed such a great bond!❤️ We love her! Me and my husband can be at our work and feel comfortable knowing that our child is safe at home with her. On the days when our daughter was sick and recovering from illness and we had to be at work, Britney took the best care of her. I would highly recommend her!”

Bandana $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Bandana. I’m currently a BSN nursing student working toward becoming a registered nurse. I’m originally from Nepal, and caring for others has always been a meaningful part of my life. My caregiving journey started with my own family, helping care for my grandfather who had asthma and later my father during his recovery from a brain hemorrhage. Those experiences played a big role in inspiring me to pursue nursing. I also have professional caregiving experience. In 2025, I worked at a care home in Union City, where I cared for up to five clients per shift. I’ve also worked as an Activity Assistant at a rehabilitation center in Oakland, and most recently provided one-on-one care for a client in his home and continued caring for him through the later stage of his life. I also have childcare experience caring for both infants and toddlers, including a 3½-month-old baby and a 3½-year-old child. I’m comfortable with feeding, diaper changes, naps, playtime, bedtime routines, and keeping children engaged, comfortable, and safe. I really enjoy spending time with kids, playing with them, and getting to know their individual personalities. I’m CPR/BLS and First Aid certified and comfortable assisting with bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, feeding, mobility and transfers, medication reminders, meal preparation, transportation, errands, light housekeeping, and companionship. I’m patient, compassionate, dependable, respectful, and attentive, with a cheerful and caring personality. I enjoy talking, listening, laughing, and building genuine connections with the people I care for. Most importantly, I want the person I’m caring for to feel safe, comfortable, respected, and genuinely cared for. I’m new to this app, so I don’t have many reviews or references showing on my profile yet, but I can definitely provide references from families I’ve worked with. I completely understand how important it is to feel comfortable and confident about the person caring for your loved one or children, so I’m also happy to answer any questions and connect beforehand. I’m also a big animal lover and am very comfortable working with families who have pets. I’d be happy to help with basic pet care as part of the household routine as well! 🐾

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
