Maria $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Maria, I am a very responsible, loving and caring nanny. I have experience with infants and toddlers for over 7 years. I’m a compassionate and dependable nanny. Skilled in creating a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment, meal preparation, transportation, and daily routines. My experience working in a pediatric clinic has strengthened my knowledge of child health, development, and communication with families. As an online nursing student pursuing a career as a pediatric nurse, I am passionate about supporting children's well-being and providing patient, attentive, and reliable care. I like to play with children in a way where they can develop their motor skills, communication and learn to discover the world in a safe way. I also like to do indoor and outdoor activities such as, long walks, go to the park, the library for story time, music class and I love to read to children and help them explore and engage in the world around them. English is my first language but I speak fluent in Spanish, some parents ask me to teach Spanish to their children and I gladly teach them. I love kids, I think they are very sweet, fun, intelligent and I always have such a good time with them. Excellent and strong references available upon request. I have CA DL and insurance. CPR/First Aid trained. I am currently seeking for a family to work for PT or ST.

Valerie $35 per hour for 1 child

I am currently studying child and adolescent development and I have over 3 years of experience working with children professionally. My favorite thing about working with kids is the mutual learning that occurs! I love to find ways to connect through activities based on a child’s interest, whether it be baking, arts and crafts, enjoying nature or physical activity, i love to be involved! I think kids deserve to be heard, and to make decisions for themselves with guided options to choose from. I think freedom of expression and identity is incredibly essential to a young child or adolescence development and I am a number one fan of children taking the lead, and showing us how to show up better to suit their needs and talents as well! Important things to note: -I am allergic to pets, both cats and dogs so cannot work inside of homes with animals -I do not have a car but I have a drivers license and a sparkling clean driving record, and still drive often! -I am CPR and first aid certified -I am a full time student studying sociology and child and adolescent development and completing a social work and human services certification

Booked by 1 family in Berkeley, CA

I have a reliable, caring background with several years of experience looking after pets of all ages and personalities. I’m known for being patient, attentive, and highly responsible—traits that help me connect easily with animals and provide a safe, comfortable environment for them. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and small animals, including pets with special routines or medical needs. In addition to pet care, I’m comfortable with light household tasks, following detailed instructions, and keeping things organized. My goal is always to make pets feel loved and secure while giving owners peace of mind.

Seraphina $25 per hour for 1 child

hi! my name is Seraphina, I'm an artist and caregiver. I have a deep love for early childhood education, and learning each child's unique personality and forms of expression. My background started as a k-5 Arts Educator at several afterschool programs, which I've done for the past four years in San Francisco. Ive taught a range of mediums including sewing, fiber arts, painting, clay and ecological art. I've also taken these skills and lead enrichment programs for kindergarteners at Malcom X Acadamy. In the past 2 years Ive been working part time at a preschool called Ducks Nest in Oakland with children from the ages of 2-5. Nannying, babysitting, and teaching are all experiences I've integrated into my childcare work the past 5 years and beyond. It is an honor to contribute to the care and support of any child's life, and I'm excited to continue to do so in my career. I also have experience with children and adults with disabilities. Both of my parents have worked in these fields and are social workers. This has been a big part of my upbringing. Overall, Im a calm, patient and compassion person with abundant creative practices that I love to connect with children through. I have a lot of excitement for their processes and want to support their curiousities and play. I also want to lighten the load of any parents/families in need, and to be of service in the areas that are most valuable.

"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)."
