Marleane $27 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Castro Valley, CA

I have a strong background in childcare, with paid experience through Jovie, PJCC Treehouse, and College Nannies and Sitters. I’ve cared for children of different ages and supported families with daily routines such as meal preparation, playtime, homework help, and nap or bedtime schedules. I’m comfortable following family guidelines while being flexible and attentive to each child’s needs. I’m patient, dependable, and naturally nurturing, which helps me build trust with both children and parents. I take safety and communication seriously and stay calm and organized in busy situations. In addition to childcare, I can provide household support such as housesitting and running errands, and pet sitting when needed. My goal is to help families feel supported while creating a safe, engaging, and positive environment for children.

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. With four years of experience caring for children (4 1/2 years as an after school teacher and 1 year as a babysitter) I offer a patient, calm, and creative environment for ages one through 12. 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. I prioritize your preferred communication style, whether through texts or end-of-day chats, to keep you fully informed.

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.

"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)."
