Hi! My name is Caroline, I’m from Brazil and I have a lot of experience with kids from babies to teens, also I have experience taking care of multiple kids at the same time and house management/cooking. I usually like to teach them about different subjects because I love arts and crafts in general, science, sports like Brazilian jiu-jitsu, expose them to my and other cultures, cook healthy meals and teach them responsibilities and how to manage their feelings in different ages and other life skills. In my free time I like to practice martial arts, play games, meet my friends, go to the movie theater or the karaoke, go visit new places places and explore the nature around California! ☺️ Please don’t hesitate to hit me up if you would like to know more about me. I can’t wait to hear about your family! 😊 References upon request :)

Carol was punctual and our girls enjoyed their time with her. I’d happily use her again.

Booked by 48 families in Clayton, CA

Hi my name is Alyssa! I have been babysitting and working with kids for over 9 years. I have experience with cooking, cleaning, and organizing. Currently I am a preschool teacher and have worked with children from 18m and on. When I come to your house to watch your children, I always bring activities for them to do. Whether it’s arts and crafts or playing with cars or dinosaurs I love to sit alongside your child and help them learn through play by asking them questions about what they are playing with and also asking questions to get to know them. Right now I am on my winter break for two weeks so I am looking for work. I am very good with taking care multiple children as I take care of 8 kids in my classroom daily by myself. Let me know if you have questions and want to set up a phone call or video call.

She was great and super friendly

With over a decade of experience caring for children from infancy through school age, I am passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where kids can thrive. I focus on supporting their development through age appropriate activities, fostering creativity, and encouraging learning every day. My goal is to partner with families to provide consistent care, guidance, and love, ensuring children feel happy, secure, and valued

Jennifer was great with my son. She took care of him and in general really is drawn to kids. She understands the child’s needs very quickly. I wil definitely hire her again.

Booked by 4 families in Clayton, CA

Hi, my name is Kristen, and I'm 25 years old. My experience with children includes working as a special education assistant at preschools and elementary schools since 2018, and nannying occasionally for families. I have a childlike spirit, and love planning fun themed activity days with the kids, arts and crafts, dancing to Disney soundtracks, and going on field trips to parks and museums! I love curling up in cozy corners at the library, where the kids and I can learn about animals, caring for our environment, outer space, and ancient history together! Another big hobby of mine is video and board games, so I would love to have game nights with the kids after they do their homework! :) I was encouraged to nanny because of my mindfulness and gentleness with kids. I care greatly about listening openly to children and their needs, instead of using a strict, disciplinary approach. I am good at soothing intense emotions and handling chaotic situations in a calm, gentle, and compassionate manner. I'm looking forward to meeting you, your kids, and your pets!! Thank you for your time! <3

"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)."
