Booked by 1 family in Canyon, CA

My name is Rocio. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and have over 15 years of experience working with children of all ages. I am CPR, First Aid, and AED certified and can provide excellent references upon request. Caring for children has always been my passion. Throughout my career, I have worked in both professional educational settings and as a nanny, helping children grow, learn, and feel safe and supported. I pride myself on building strong, trusting relationships with children and their families. Many of the children I have cared for have remained an important part of my life, and I am honored by the bonds we have created over the years. Families describe me as nurturing, reliable, patient, energetic, and highly engaging. I love creating fun, meaningful experiences for children while also providing structure, consistency, and encouragement. Whether it’s helping with homework, planning activities, exploring outdoors, or simply being a trusted adult in a child’s life, I genuinely love what I do. In my free time, I enjoy hiking with my dog, spending time with family, and being outdoors. I am outgoing, cheerful, and bring positive energy wherever I go.

Our kids ask Rocio to come back every day. That tells one a lot - kids are picky (at least mine 3&5 year old)

I’m a Substitute Teacher for OUSD. I’m thoughtful, organized and caring. I like to engage children in educational activities instead of watching TV. Coloring, playing, baking cookies and reading are typically the preferred activities. I’ve worked with children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. I'm well qualified to help with homework, reading, potty training and taking a child to the doctor. I’m available Monday-Friday + weekends too. My calendar is up to date. Please feel free to contact me. References are available upon request. Thank you. I look forward to meeting you!

Booked by 14 families in Canyon, CA

Hello! I am a proactive, responsible and dedicated nanny, family assistant and household manager. I have 10 plus years of recent professional experience, excellent references, letters of recommendation, and I am ready for my next long term role. I love adventuring with kids or interactive playtime at home. I enjoy going for hikes in nature, walks to the park, library or museums, spotting airplanes, wildlife, flowers, great books and art. I also like playing games and doing arts and crafts, building lego creations & forts, playing with dolls and animals, or reading books with hot cocoa on a rainy day. A simple peek-a-boo session, singing ABC’s, practicing counting or tummy time for the little ones:) I have experience providing support with school drop off/pick up, driving children to and from after school activities, homework assistance, as well as household chores, preparing snacks & meals, doing laundry, running errands, dog walking, traveling with the family and overnight care. In addition, I have experience managing and assisting with household inventory, scheduling appointments and communicating with contractors, housekeepers or caterers, organizing closets and calendars, and managing packing lists and travel preparations. I am discreet and respectful of a family’s privacy when needed and yet I welcome sharing a meal with them when invited. I am flexible enough to calmly transition from meal prep to children to dishes and back to children again:) I am very healthy and live an active lifestyle outside of work. I am close to completing my psychology degree for transfer, with all classes being held asynchronous, which allows me the ability to fully commit to other responsibilities. I plan to stay in the Bay Area as I continue to pursue my higher education. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions. I look forward to connecting with you soon!

My names is Stephanie, and I love working with children because seeing them learn to explore, grow and have fun brings me so much joy. I’m caring, patient and I love creating a space where kids of all ages can feel safe and be themselves. I’m very responsible and compassionate and fully committed on supporting families in their different needs. I’ve been nannying for about 9 years now, and it’s more than just watching kids, I truly enjoy being around them, engaging with them, seeing how their brains work and grow. Children bring so much happiness and I love to help families experience that with out the stress of having to worry about child care. I’m new to this app, but have a lot of experience behind me. The children I have been nannying for are getting older, entering school, and the family doesn’t require me full time any more, so I’ve decided to look into longterm and short term care for others. I’d love to be considered when looking for help! Please reach out if you have any further questions!

"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)."
