Booked by 6 families in Canyon, CA

I have 11 years of solid experience caring for children ages 0-17. I have learned the importance of providing children structure through my years of nannying and caretaking. In addition, I have hands-on experience nannying multiple infants and toddlers at a time. I am 100% comfortable providing adequate structure, age appropriate interaction and activities, safe play, healthy eating and resting. I have worked with students who have IEP's during the day, as well as taught at an elementary school in multiple after school programs, and provided therapy for children with autism. I have taught classes such as dance, painting, drawing, STEM/STEAM, and an academic excellence class. I have taught these classes for children in pre-school up to fifth grade. I recently was a preschool teacher at a Montessori school and have a daughter as well. She is a 6 year old.

Booked by 1 family in Canyon, CA

Hello! My name is Bela, and I am a new college graduate, home for the summer looking for occasional babysitting/nannying &/or pet sitting opportunities! Whether it be watching your kiddos while you’re out for a date night, or keeping them busy during the day crafting, spending time outdoors, making them meals, or picking them up/dropping them off at Summer camps and daytime activities I’m open for it all! As I heads up, I have some days this summer where I will be out of town as I am moving out of state in the beginning of September! I have many years of experience babysitting and pet sitting and can provide references and a background check upon request. And as an avid animal lover (with 5 pets of my own and graduated with an Animal Science degree), I have also worked as a Veterinary Assistant for many years, so I also have a background caring for pets if they have any additional care requirements. Additionally, I am fluent in Bulgarian, and beginner-intermediate in American Sign Language. I love engaging with children in arts and crafts projects to keep them entertained with educational and fun activities that promote creativity, and spending time outdoors! In addition, I am also capable of preparing meals if necessary. My goal is to create a fun, and positive atmosphere where kids can have fun and feel as engaged as possible! Above all I prioritize the safety and well being of the children and animals that I care for. I look forward to the potential opportunity to meet your family! References can be provided upon request! 😊

Isabela is incredible with young children. She is highly educated and ambitious with great intuition and EQ. I would highly highly recommend Isabela 🙏

Tenzin 1 review
$40 per hour for 1 child

I'm a loving and patient nanny with over 12 years of experience caring for children from diverse backgrounds. I'm Tibetan born and raised in India and fluent in three languages, I focus on nurturing each child's unique personality with kindness and respect. Guided by my Buddhist values, I create a safe and positive environment where children feel loved and can grow at their own pace. My naturally friendly, patient, and creative personality allows me to connect easily with kids, creating a safe, warm, and engaging environment where they can thrive. I believe in open and honest communication with parents, and I'm always happy to provide updates in the way that works best for you-whether it's a quick text, a detailed conversation at the end of the day, or anything in between. I respect and follow household routines and rules while also encouraging children to explore their independence and express themselves freely.

Tenzin is one of a kind and I have interviewed almost all of the nannies on urban sitter including on sight trial days with about 150 of the higly rated nannies. I am not kidding, I am very picky when it comes to child care... She is full of compassion, empathy and kindness. She comes home with full of positive energy every single day. She is very smart, emotionally very stable, she is extremely patient with kids. She makes every moment a fun, engaging and memorable moment with her creativity, positivity. She is full of positive energy. She turns tough moments into fun moments, It is hard to explain her greatness with these simple words... The world needs more people like Tenzin. If every child had a caregiver liked Tenzin the world would thrive!!! Tenzin makes exceptional expected. She is a baby charm, child magnet or what ever you call... She worked with us for 2 years, she raised my son with really good manners, she taught my son English and she raised my baby girl putting a lot of effort not to even make them get upset, not even close... Let your child meet her, spend time with her, it will make a huge difference, your child deserves this experience, it is much more full filling and much more fun then the Disneyland ;) I am surprise I am the first one to write her a review here on Urbansitter, she is very humble to ask for a review...

Booked by 7 families in Canyon, CA

Hello my name is Emma M. I have been living in the Bay Area for six years but I'm originally from Northern CA. I have experience with special need kids including those with cerebral palsy, pika, autism, and those needing full time care. Seeing kids with a range of capabilities through Ability First programs has opened up my view on how to support each individual child and family. Having taught elementary level summer school back North showed me how much I love to see kids grow. Most recently I've been with a family of six (three kids +dog) for 4 years. My responsibilities were wide including transporting to activities, housecleaning, grocery shopping, cooking meals, and of course caring/keeping the kids active and learning. This last school year I have worked for Three families consistently along with multiple need-based families in the Berkeley area. I have loved the experience it has brought me. With the summer approaching I'm transitioning from these beautiful families. I am eager to find a great fit to help for at least the next year or so. I'm very reliable and flexible so please leave and ask any questions you wish. Have a nice day! :)

Our girls LOVED Emma. They had so much fun and afterward, our oldest was already asking when Emma could come back to watch them again. Highly recommend.

"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)."
