Alyssa $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is alyssa. I’m 21 years old and have six years of hands-on experience in childcare. I’m currently looking for occasional babysitting, as well as part-time or full-time nanny opportunities. I’ve cared for children from newborns to age 14, and I’m comfortable watching multiple kids at once while keeping things safe, fun, and nurturing. I am certified in infant, child, and adult cpr, as well as first aid and aed. I truly love spending time with kids and helping them grow. some of my favorite activities include outdoor play, going on walks, reading stories, and doing arts and crafts. I always do my best to create a positive, encouraging environment where children feel supported, comfortable, and valued. (HOURLY RATES ARE DIFFERENT THEN ON APP IT DOESN’T ALLOW ME TO PUT IT THE WAY I CHARGE BUT I DO HAVE A PICTURE I CAN SEND OF MY RATES AND A MORE IN-DEPTH DESCRIPTION OF MY EXPERIENCE)

Hello families! My name is Leah, and I am excited to start working with you and your wonderful children. We might be a match if you're looking for someone with childhood development cred -- both in theory and in practice. I received two degrees from San Francisco State University in Child and Adolescent Development, covering early childhood and school age, and minored in special education. I've been putting what I learned to good use with the families I support, both long term ad occasionally. I understand why babies, toddlers, preschoolers and kiddos do what they do; I understand what is developmentally appropriate for them; and I will help guide them with the exploration of the world and their interaction with it. My favorite way to care for children is to be outdoor. I get on their level, see what they see, and share their fascination in new things. I keep children safe while supporting their exploration of the environment. I help children how to get along with others while supporting the development of their personalities. I help children and their parents, feel secure because that's everything! I have been a nanny since 2012. I have experience with multiples and nanny shares. I want to help raise resilient, compassionate, and intelligent adults. I believe that Frederick Douglass said it best when he said, "It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men." ****My availability will start November but I am looking for the perfect families now.

Professional, super friendly, and a HIT with our 4-year-old. So many giggly fits. :)

Athena was a delight to work with! We were in town for a wedding and needed help watching our kids at our hotel. I was a little nervous about it since it was a small hotel room but Athena was a pro! She quickly connected with my kids and put them at ease. She brought some fun toys and games that engaged the kids and they had a blast. Highly recommend!

Booked by 25 families in Castroville, CA

Hi- My name is Aylin, I’m currently a college student majoring in collaborative human health services with a concentration in Social work at CSUMB. I am offering child care as well as pet care! I enjoy working and getting to know kids. I’ve worked with many families and also have prior experience with my siblings and my families kids. My responsibilities were driving the kids to a certain place, going to the park, arts and crafts and also staying at home just watching over them and also running errands for the family.

Aylin was great! She confirmed ahead of time and showed up right on time. She also helped us out while our son is potty training, which is always a bit tricky and we really appreciated her patience.

"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)."
