Danielle $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Danielle when I was in high school I would volunteer at daycare/preschool and I would be in 6 month- 2-year-old classes. Which would typically involve managing their high energy levels, supporting their developmental milestones, and providing a safe and stimulating environment while understanding their unique communication methods. I also was a nanny for 1-year-old triples two years ago for more than a year but unfortunately I had to leave them when I started college. Working with infants and toddlers at a young age helped me go into college wanting to purse a path of Child Adolescence as my major.

Mele $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Mele, and I'm a 19-year-old college student. I worked as a teacher's assistant at Step Ahead Learning Center in Walnut Creek for 2 years, and I've also been nannying for the past 3 years. I have experience caring for children of all ages, from 6 months to 10 years old. I truly enjoy nannying and tutoring—not only because it helps me pay for college, but also because I love working with kids. Tutoring has been especially rewarding because teaching concepts I'm learning in school helps reinforce my own understanding while supporting a child's learning and confidence. I come from a big family and have always loved spending time with my nieces and nephews, whether we're playing outside, doing crafts, reading, or going on fun outings. I strive to create a safe, caring, and engaging environment where children can learn, have fun, and feel supported. For references, please feel free to contact Lota Veimau, whom I worked with at Step Ahead Learning Center, at [removed] or [removed]. Thank you for your consideration! If you have any questions or would like to get in touch, you can reach me at (510) 571-0511 or [email protected].

Rosmery $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a respectful and reliable worker able to give friendly assistance to parents with their children. I strongly dislike messes and am a very organized, neat person. I enjoy cleaning, cooking, folding clothing, and doing laundry. Anything that requires being organized, tidy, and neat is something I enjoy doing. In order to work in a clean kitchen when I'm cooking, I use any given opportunity to wash the dishes and wipe down the counters when there is something on the stove. In addition, I am quite crafty. I enjoy making things with my hands, whether it be with kids or adults-anyone of any age really. I enjoy having fun with children; reading, singing and dancing. I enjoy being silly and making kids laugh.  I love children, I'm very affectionate, and I'm dedicated to my work with them. I'm Salvadoran, and in my country, I used to babysit in schools, homes, and churches. I've been in the United States for two years, so I speak little English, but I'm studying to improve it. I love animals and I love caring for them so if you have any in your home I’d have no problem having them around. As I mentioned, Spanish is my native language, I speak it fluently. I know basic English enough to understand and participate in conversations as long as there are no big words used that I don't know. Working with children will help me practice, learn, and better my English.

"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)."
