Susan $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Sue and I have a Masters degree in Education. I have spent my career working in school districts running before and after school programs and preschools. I have also been an adjunct professor at various San Francisco Bay Area Community Colleges in the Child Development departments and Child and Family Study departments. Having raised my 3 beautiful children and enjoyed watching my 5 grandchildren grow and make all of us so very proud, I am now ready to be hands on in supporting other families. I am thrilled to help with children of all ages and prefer to keep busy with preparing meals, bringing children to activities, visiting parks, and exploring your child’s interests. I look forward to meeting your family!

Hi! I'm Michelle. I have been babysitting and working with kids for most of my life! :) I have been a camp counselor, run my own daycare, tutored, and have worked in elementary schools. I get so much joy from being around kids and find it so rewarding to help them learn and grow. I 've worked with children of all ages - it's something that I have always been naturally drawn to and good at but I have also picked up lots of helpful tips and tricks along the way. Look forward to meeting you!

Booked by 72 families in Bodega Bay, CA

I have 9 years of experience babysitting and caring for children from infant to adolescence. I am loving, patient, and very energetic! I love reading, arts & crafts, and dancing. I am fluent in English and Spanish! I have completed many child development classes and through that, I earned my Associate Teacher certificate. During my freshman year in high school, I worked with many families doing afterschool care. I would also volunteer at the Downtown River Boys and Girls club in Petaluma every day after school. Soon after I was offered a program coordinator position for the Boys & Club where I ran all kinds of enrichment programs while also helping children with their homework and building warm relationships with them. I also volunteered at Mt. Taylor Children’s Center in Rohnert Park where I engaged children in playtime, read books, and made sure children were safe at all times. My work through high school helped me realize I have a passion for caring and teaching children. I am a great role model for children and want to help guide them through their life’s in the most positive manner.

Melisa helped us out for date night and was so awesome with our 5yo! She even got her to bed, which can be tricky with our kiddo! Highly recommend. She is clearly an experienced professional and we felt great leaving our daughter with her.

Booked by 137 families in Bodega Bay, CA

Hello! I’m Nicole and I am a part-time student, trying to finish my undergraduate studies at SSU after a long sabbatical! I am also a first time mom to a wonderful 4 mo son ♥️ I enjoy exploring new places, trying out new restaurants and foods, walking with my dog outdoors, exercising, reading and attending concerts with friends. My experience working with children has taught me so much and transformed me into the person I am today. I became an alert listener, a wise decision maker, a patient advisor, a smarter supervisor, a fun-loving and creative adult, a generous and open-minded caregiver, and most importantly a loyal and loving friend to the kids I work with. This has been an invaluable experience and will surely help me in my endeavors for the future :) ***PLEASE READ BELOW*** On a side note: it is crucial for me to let parents and families know that my rates are subjective to distance as well as the major holidays. Any questions or concerns please privately message me. - Jobs within 20 minutes or less from my location will only be charged my minimum rate - I would also like to point out my minimum of 4 hr bookings. I may make exceptions, please message me. - My cancellation policy is notification up until 24 hours prior to booking; anything later, I request 50% of the expected rate agreed upon. Less than 12 hours, it would be 100% of the expected rate. Thank you so much for your understanding!

On time, professional, and communicated well. Our 10 month old was asleep already when she arrived but she had been more than willing to help out if needed!

"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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"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)."
