Samantha $26 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Canyon, CA

Dear Family, I hope you are doing well. My name is Samantha, and I am reaching out to express my interest in providing care and support for your family. I have experience working with infants and children from 6 months up to the age of 12. I am CPR and First Aid certified and comfortable caring for up to two children at a time. For the past 4 years, I’ve had the joy of caring for children of different ages. Work history includes 2 years of nanny experience, and 2 years of Au pair. My most recent experience, I cared for a family of 2 and came in when the first child was 6 months old and the youngest was 14 months when I left. For Au pairing, I came in when the youngest child was 4yrs old and the oldest was 12. These positions have given me valuable experience caring for children and adapting to their daily routines and needs. I am an easy going, patient, friendly, and confident person. An effective communicator and believe in communication is key. I pride myself in communicating with family in-person, via text or phone call to ensure clear understanding of household rules and a safe, structured, loving environment. With my experience, I will bring an unforgettable support to your lovely family by providing reliable, attentive care while fostering your children’s emotional, social, and developmental growth. Thank you for your time and consideration. I will love the opportunity to discuss how I can support your family and look forward to hearing from you. Warm regards, Samantha.

Booked by 1 family in Canyon, CA

Hi my name is Sydney and I am currently looking for work over the summer that could potentially move into the Fall. I currently work at an elementary school as a literacy tutor and have lots of experience working with kids. On the weekend I coach soccer for kids ages 3-7 and have currently been working with a family in the evenings for the past year and a half (ages 5 & 2.5). Additionally, I have experience looking after pets, specifically cats and dogs and supporting families with other household tasks. I enjoy getting to engage in creative, active and educational activities with kids while learning how to best support their growth.

Mellissa $30 per hour for 1 child

Preschool Teacher with a Master's degree in Psychology seeking to return to nannying. CPR and First-Aid certified. I am currently a preschool teacher in the East Bay M-F until 5:45pm so I'm open to after school babysitting or transitioning jobs for the right fit. Our school year ends in May and I would love to find the right family to work for when my current kiddos transition to their next class. I previously worked as a full-time nanny for a family with a 2-year-old boy as well as a family with three wonderful children (ages 3, 5, and 8). I also worked as a teacher in a Montessori preschool in San Francisco for 4 years. As a teaching assistant and also an extended day teacher, I was responsible for creating activities, leading storytime, helping children with their projects as needed, guiding children in conflict resolution, modeling kindness, leading movement songs, changing children who had potty accidents, and ensuring children were prepared for pick-up with all of their art and belongings. I completed my Master's in Psychology in 2021 and am eventually planning to return to graduate school to pursue licensure as a marriage and family therapist. I am warm, patient, kind, and genuinely care deeply for the children in my life. I am so grateful to spend my days with them. I love reading with children, doing art projects, playing at the park, and singing songs together. I place a strong emphasis on social-emotional learning and modeling kindness and empathy. I also enjoy fostering children’s innate interests and curiosities. As a former teacher, I am confident in supplementing and enriching children’s learning. It is deeply important to me to maintain contact with the children for whom I served as a nanny and essential that families understand the genuine love that can exist between children and their long-term caregivers. I'm looking forward to learning more about your children!

Heather $30 per hour for 1 child

I have always been drawn to caring for children and families. My experience began over 15 years ago as a summer camp counselor (I have never met a craft I didn't excel at), babysitter, nanny, and now as a newborn care specialist/ postpartum doula. I love joining children in their world of play and making it as fun and engaging as possible. Although my specific certifications and professional experience are primarily focused on newborns and infants, I have cared for children of all ages, from toddlers to teens. I'm able to meet each age group where they are at and strive to make my time shared with them engaging and fun.

"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."

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)."
