Loving and Calm Childcare Provider | Experienced Nanny & Mom Hi, my name is Nceba. I was born and raised in South Africa and have been a full-time childcare provider in the Bay Area since 2019. I’m also a proud wife and mom to a sweet toddler, which has given me a whole new level of hands-on experience and insight into child development. I trained at the Au Pair Training School in New York through the Cultural Care Agency, where I learned the needs of children at different stages. With nearly a decade of childcare experience, I specialize in infants and toddlers ages 6–24 months, and now as a mom myself, I bring first-hand knowledge of newborn and toddler care.

With older children, I’ve also helped with: School routines, drop-off/pick-up Homework and creative projects Playdates and outdoor fun Meal prep, children’s laundry, and bedtime routines Doctor and dentist appointments About Me: Families describe me as calm, patient, and dependable. Outside of childcare, I enjoy art and museums. I am multilingual, speaking English fluently as well as Zulu, Xhosa, and Afrikaans. Looking Ahead: My long-term goal is to become a Postpartum Doula, offering compassionate support to both mothers and babies during the early stages of life.

I have about two years of experience caring for families outside and within urban sitter with CPR certification and a clean driving record. I have experience working at a day center and as a teachers assistant with special needs children. I’ve developed strong childcare expertise with managing routines, engaging with children through educational and playful activities. Alongside my work in childcare, I am pursuing a college degree in psych, focusing on child development. However, i am currently taking a gap year. I am also a highly responsible, consistent, nurturing, and supportive individual who takes pride in being apart of children’s lives!

Hi Parents, I’m Sofia! I’m offering childcare, pet sitting, light household chores, etc. I am bilingual in English and Tagalog but also speak some Spanish. One thing about me is that I’ve always loved playing and being around kids since I was a teen. I’ve learned a lot about being patient with them, and I think that’s one of the most important things as a nanny. My experience in babysitting has included working with ages newborn-10 years! I am currently working with 17 month old twins and love it! I met them when they were 2 months old so I have lots of experience with babies! I’ve been babysitting for almost 6 years now. I’ve worked both full time and part time with a few families all ranging from 1-4 kids at a time. I am also willing to work occasional date nights, or if you just simply need someone to cover for a day. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school and after school sports/activities, light home schooling, crafts, keeping kids active (walks, hikes, adventures.) changing diapers, feeding lunch and snacks, meal prepping and just making sure they are good throughout the day. I have worked with families outside of UrbanSitter but have also met some amazing families from this community. I understand that working with kids requires a lot of patience and I believe I have abundance of it. The parents I have worked with would say I work well under pressure and really good at staying calm when things get chaotic. I truly love being around kids! At family gatherings, you’ll always find me playing with the kids and keeping them entertained. I am also more than willing to help tackle any household chores, grocery shopping, and errands you may not have had time for. I will always find something to do (when kids are napping, or not around). I’d love to make things easier for your family and help in anyway I can! I’m easy going, and very understanding. I will absolutely treat and love your kids like they are my own because I know it’s tough to trust a stranger - I will be nothing but a great help and addition to your family. :) Another bonus is I don’t mind being around dogs and cats, I love fur babies as well, and would be willing so pet sit for you. I can provide you other references if needed outside of the ones that are on my profile. Please free to reach out if you think it will be a good fit and I would love to schedule a time to chat with you :)
