Hello! My name is Lívia. I am a freelance children’s books illustrator and art student. I’m extremely passionate about children and have worked closely in childcare with kids for the past 10 years now. My experience entails working mostly with infants and toddlers, but I have also been privileged to work on social projects involving misfortunate families and children across all ages in poverty. I am from Brazil but currently living in Oakland, CA. I consider myself a creative, enthusiastic and a responsible person. Thank you so much for taking the time to view my profile and looking forward to an opportunity to work with you.

Booked by 15 families in Canyon, CA

Hi families! My name is Lais, and I am a dedicated professional nanny with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. I have extensive experience caring for children from newborns all the way to teenagers, and I am comfortable and confident with kids of all ages. I also have specialized experience supporting neurodivergent children, and I adapt my care to a variety of approaches—whether that’s gentle parenting, Montessori, RIE, or other philosophies. Despite earning my degree, I decided to continue my career as a nanny because I am deeply passionate about building strong, trusting relationships with families. I plan to grow in this field as a lifelong professional and bring my psychology background into my work every day. I am happy to provide references and my resume upon request, and I’m always available to respond to any texts from families who want to know more about my experience. I am also CPR and First Aid certified. I look forward to connecting and learning about your family’s unique needs! I look forward to connecting and learning about your family’s unique needs!

Lais is an experienced caregiver who had many strategies to handle our rambunctious children!

I have about two years of experience caring for families outside and within urban sitter with CPR certification and a clean driving record. I have experience working at a day center and as a teachers assistant with special needs children. I’ve developed strong childcare expertise with managing routines, engaging with children through educational and playful activities. Alongside my work in childcare, I am pursuing a college degree in psych, focusing on child development. However, i am currently taking a gap year. I am also a highly responsible, consistent, nurturing, and supportive individual who takes pride in being apart of children’s lives!

Nat was absolutely amazing, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment she arrived, she was warm, professional, and incredibly attentive. She took the time to understand all of our instructions and followed them carefully, which immediately gave us peace of mind. She was also wonderful with our dog, Brody. Nat was so patient, gentle, and caring with him that he quickly became comfortable in her presence. Most importantly, she was fantastic with our son. Toddlers can definitely have their moments, and our son had a few emotional outbursts while we were away. Nat handled each one with incredible patience, kindness, and compassion. She never seemed flustered and approached every situation with a calm, nurturing attitude that made us feel completely confident he was in great hands. It’s not easy finding someone who is both dependable and genuinely caring, but Nat exceeded all of our expectations. We truly appreciated her attentiveness, communication, and the level of care she provided to our entire family. We will absolutely be using Nat again in the future and are looking forward to having her back. We highly recommend her to any family looking for someone who is trustworthy, patient, compassionate, and exceptional with children and pets.

Booked by 24 families in Canyon, CA

Hi! My name is Natalia and I’m 29 years old. I started caring for my younger sister at 13, which sparked my passion for working with children. By the time I turned 18, I was babysitting for my older sister’s friends, and word quickly spread to their friends as well. Over the past few years, I’ve cared for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I also have experience working in a nanny share with three infants at once, which taught me how to manage multiple little ones with care and attention. When the weather is nice, I love taking kids outside for fresh air and activities. Indoors, I enjoy playing with toys, board games, card games, or doing arts and crafts. In my free time, I love hiking, going to the gym, reading, and spending time with family and friends.

Hi there! My name is Christie but I prefer to go by Zahava, I am originally from Brazil but have been residing in the US for over 30 years. Professionally, I've been dedicating myself to early childhood education for over 20 years, having worked both as a nanny, as well as a preschool teacher for the past 10 years, however, my experience in this field is not limited to the little ones (which I adore!) I have also worked with middle and high schoolers in the past and currently, either teaching Portuguese, capoeira, Hebrew and judaic studies I am passionate about art, music, movement, and absolutely love to share my passion with the young crowd, and feel that my creativity, love and spontaneity are the greatest assets I bring to my work with children I speak fluent English and Portuguese and am conversant in Spanish and Hebrew. I am currently looking for a part time or full time position as a nanny and/or occasional babysitting.thank you for checking my profile, and I look forward to meeting you soon.

I’m happy to recommend Zahava as a babysitter. She was my daughter’s preschool teacher and consistently showed warmth, patience, and professionalism. Our daughter felt safe and happy in her care, and we always appreciated her nurturing and attentive approach. We would fully trust Zahava to care for our child outside the classroom and believe she’d be a wonderful babysitter.

"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)."
