Dakota $24 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Dakota. I’m 18 years old and recently moved to Santa Cruz in December. Working with kids is something I genuinely love and have been doing for most of my life. Prior to moving to Santa Cruz, I was a huge part of raising and caring for my niece (7), nephew (8), and little sister who turns 3 this year. Being around kids has always come naturally to me, and I truly enjoy creating a fun, safe, loving, and supportive environment where they feel comfortable being themselves. I also previously cared for a family with a 1-year-old and a 3 year old, which gave me even more hands-on experience with different ages, routines, and personalities. I’m very active and love getting kids outside for walks, park trips, beach days, and little adventures, but I also love slower indoor activities like painting, coloring, puzzles, play dough, reading stories, and creative play. I’m totally comfortable with low or zero screen time, but I’m also flexible with whatever works best for your family! A little about me, I have my license, a clean driving record, and a reliable SUV. I graduated high school in June 2025 and eventually plan to attend cosmetology school, but for now I’m focused on working and finding a family that feels like a great fit. I’d love to hear more about your routines and what’s most important to you in a nanny/caregiver. I’m extremely patient, warm, affectionate, dependable, and always willing to ask questions to make sure I’m supporting your family the best way possible. I’m not CPR certified yet, but I’m absolutely willing to get certified. I’m also flexible with scheduling as long as there’s communication in advance. I’d love to connect more and hear about your family! Please feel free to ask me any questions at all. I look forward to hearing from you!

Eliza $25 per hour for 1 child

Caring for children and making a positive impact is something I genuinely love. With over three years of experience caring for children of all ages, I aim to provide a nurturing and engaging environment for your little ones. I am comfortable caring for up to three children at a time and respect each family's unique routines and household rules. I enjoy planning age appropriate activities, including outdoor play, creative projects, and board games that encourage learning and connection. I communicate clearly and consistently, providing updates via text or phone call - or whatever method you prefer. With some college experience and a naturally calm, patient, and friendly personality, I aim to be a dependable and encouraging presence in your child's life. Supporting families by providing reliable, trustworthy childcare is deeply important to me, and I would love the opportunity to see if I'm the right fit for your family.

"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."

"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)."
