$34 per hour for 1 child

Hello parents, My name is Evelyn , I am a happy married woman and proud mom of two boys 20 and 24 years old looking and I’m looking for a long term full time nanny job. I have been working as a nanny for more than 25 years with kids as young as 2 months and up. I’ll be available to start with a new family/families in June 2026. I am bilingual Spanish-English, responsible, honest, loving, trustworthy, patient, CPR and first aid certified, also registered with Trustline. I’m up to date with all my vaccinations, including Covid. I have my own car, auto insurance, clean driving record, and excellent references from my previous jobs. I like to take kids to parks, zoo, walks, library and to any other place where they can have fun, explore and learn new things that will help them to grow. As a nanny, I always make sure kids under my care are safe, healthy and happy. Please let me know if you would like to know more about me and my experience. Thanks for your time and I look forward to hearing from you. Best, Evelyn

There is no caregiver like Karina. She looked after my children and was like a part of our family for six years. She is helpful, reliable, so easy to be around and wonderfully kind, loving but appropriately firm with children. My kids still love her and talk about her often. Friends of mine would see her with our kids at music class or the park and remark how great she was with them. You will not find a better fit for your childcare needs!

Booked by 9 families in Castro Valley, CA

Greetings families! My name is Samantha but you all can call me Sam. I have been a career nanny for 10+ years. And have experience working with newborns, infant, toddlers, and older children all around. Plus, a background with children diagnosed with autism, ADHD, and bipolar disorder. I am transitioning to being a postpartum doula and newborn care specialist. Currently in the process of becoming certified with DONA International by the end of 2023. Am mom to a pitbull mix doggo and a domestic short hair kitty. :)

Sam was wonderful! She was prompt, professional, an excellent communicator, and she was terrific with my young toddler. I had never had a sitter before so I was incredibly nervous but I felt immediately comfortable leaving my kid with Sam. She updated us via text to let us know how it was going. Sam listened closely to any instructions I left, and followed them closely and respectfully, and let me know each thing was clear and understood. She was terrific playing with my toddler and I'd be thrilled to book her in the future.

Hello- My name is Brithanie and I am a third-year college student and currently attending CSUEB’s Nursing Program! I am CPR & First Aid certified. I also speak Spanish! I enjoy babysitting :) I have had experience with babies and children ages 1-10! I worked with a senior my first semester of college, which I enjoyed so much and learned a lot from.

Nancy 3 reviews
$35 per hour for 1 child

Hola I'm Nancy and I am looking for an extended family to work with. I have worked with various families over the past 20 years. I have been exposed to the Montessori style. I have lots of experience with new parents solo or in a nanny shared. I have care for newborn babies and their needs until school age. I myself have 3 children of my own, whom I raised with the great families I worked with in the past. I like taking walks on the beach, listening to Disney songs, and have walks on a rainy day. My kids are now 16, 18 and 24 yrs old. I'm very reliable, responsible, stern, caring, flexible and I also have great references from my current and previous families. I’m searching for a family whose looking for an extended family to rely on. Gracias, Nancy

Nancy was a nanny for my son (now 2) and also helped with my five year old. She is capable, experienced, conscientious, trustworthy communicative and entirely focused on the well-being of the child. She always came up with thoughtful activities for our kids and was very caring with them. She can cook for them and also is a dependable driver. Feel free to have Nancy put you in touch with me personally if you would like to chat further about her!

Marielos 4 reviews
$27 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 5 families in Castro Valley, CA

Patient, bilingual caregiver with 5+ years of childcare experience, including infants under 1, toddlers, and school-age children. I currently work full-time as a Family Ambassador for charter schools in SF and am seeking occasional or part-time babysitting in the evenings and on weekends. I’ve worked with SFUSD, after-school programs, and ABA services, and I’m CPR certified. Families describe me as caring, dependable, and creative. I especially love working with infants under 1, and I enjoy engaging kids through reading, play, and outdoor activities. I’m also happy to help with light housekeeping, tutoring (in any subject and in Spanish), and bedtime routines. Pet-friendly and reliable, I’d love the chance to support your family and provide safe, fun, and enriching care for your little ones.

Marieolos was wonderful and spent all night with my friend's newborn so they could get some rest. She was amazing with the baby. We will definitely use her again!!!

"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)."
