Siana $21 per hour for 1 child

Nurturing a child's curiosity and watching their unique perspective on the world unfold is my true passion.

I hold First Aid Training and CPR Training certifications to ensure a safe space for your family. Whether we are engaging in outdoor sports, solving puzzles, or exploring creative crafts, I love fostering growth and teaching children how to navigate their emotions with kindness. I am happy to assist with meal preparation, carpooling, and housekeeping while strictly adhering to your household rules.

Saba $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi I’m Saba I enjoy taking care of babies and younger children. I have a high school diploma and have 35 years of experience watching children. I am a loving caring mother of 3 children ages 35 31 and 24. I take care of children like they are mine. Every child that I have taken care of looks at me like their second mother or grandmother. I love watching kids because we create a bond that’s personal and loving and I get to watch them grow up as if they were my own. I have light housekeeping experience while the babies or children are asleep if need be. I love to keep them busy by doing activities, storytime and I always follow family instructions. Hopefully I can experience being your child’s nanny.

Olevia $27 per hour for 1 child

Hi prospective families! My name is Olevia, and I’ve been a nanny for nearly five years. I have experience with children ranging from infancy to high school, though most of my background is with infants and toddlers. I graduated from the University of Arizona with my Bachelor of Science in Public Health and have recently been accepted into graduate school, where I will be pursuing my Master of Public Health in Health Policy. I am currently a nanny for a sweet 21-month-old boy, whom I’ve been with since he was 10 months old. This is the third family I’ve had the pleasure of working with through UrbanSitter. I’m now looking to pick up additional babysitting hours as I prepare to begin graduate school and continue supporting myself through my education. I’m originally from Oakland and grew up throughout the Bay Area. I began working in childcare during college, nannying and tutoring through local agencies. During summers, I worked as a camp counselor at my former elementary and middle school, averaging 35 hours a week. In addition to my professional experience, I’ve also helped my sister care for her now 4-month-old daughter since birth while her husband is deployed in the Air Force. I grew up playing competitive sports, primarily basketball, and I value staying active. I enjoy getting kids outside, going on walks, and planning age-appropriate activities that keep them engaged. I also love cooking and am happy to help with meal prep for children and families. I pride myself on being reliable, patient, and attentive, and I aim to create a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for every child I care for. I look forward to connecting with 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)."
