Shannon $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Shannon. I am originally from Sacramento. I have lived in the Bay Area for 8 years. I’m a caring, dependable, and compassionate caregiver who truly enjoys helping others feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have hands-on childcare experience from caring for my two nieces from infancy through kindergarten, giving me a strong understanding of young children’s routines, needs, personalities, and developmental milestones. I also have five years of experience providing care for older adults, which has strengthened my patience, attentiveness, and ability to provide compassionate support. Whether caring for a child or an older adult, I believe in creating a warm and nurturing environment where each person feels respected, valued, and comfortable being themselves. I’m responsible, trustworthy, patient, and attentive to the little things that help families feel confident in their caregiver. My goal is to provide dependable care while making the people I care for feel safe, supported, and genuinely cared about.

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Canyon, CA

Hello, my name is Sarah and I am a recent graduate from U.C. Berkeley (class of 2024)! I studied Psychology and Education with an interest to pursue teaching and/or going into the health field. Although I have experience working with children from ages <1 to 6th grade, I feel most comfortable caring for children 2nd grade and below due to my bubbly nature. Don't let this scare you, as I can be very stern with boundaries and expectations that I am expected to enforce. For your kiddos in elementary school, I believe my background in being an afterschool program teacher will allow me to create all sorts of fun crafts for your little ones for mental stimulation! As for pets, I currently am a mother of 2 bunnies and an auntie of one dog. I have experience changing litter, cleaning and refilling water bowls, feeding schedules, walks, and giving your fur babies some attention on the side! Household services I have work experience in would include sanitization, sweeping, mopping, organization, and dishes. Though, I have personal experience with other household chores as well. I would love to gain your trust as a sitter, so please reach out to me for further questions! Hope to hear from you soon! Other important details: I am CPR/First Aid Certified, I have my food handlers certificate, I have volunteered in a daycare setting for 2 consecutive summers and have worked with children from TK to 6th grade for 2+ years.

"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)."
