Booked by 6 families in Clayton, CA

I have 11 years of solid experience caring for children ages 0-17. I have learned the importance of providing children structure through my years of nannying and caretaking. In addition, I have hands-on experience nannying multiple infants and toddlers at a time. I am 100% comfortable providing adequate structure, age appropriate interaction and activities, safe play, healthy eating and resting. I have worked with students who have IEP's during the day, as well as taught at an elementary school in multiple after school programs, and provided therapy for children with autism. I have taught classes such as dance, painting, drawing, STEM/STEAM, and an academic excellence class. I have taught these classes for children in pre-school up to fifth grade. I recently was a preschool teacher at a Montessori school and have a daughter as well. She is a 6 year old.

Booked by 1 family in Clayton, CA

Hello families! I am a patient, responsible, and caring caregiver with more than ten years of experience caring for and supporting children, seniors, and families. As a mother, I understand how important safety, patience, and trust are. I can help with meal preparation, grocery shopping, errands, companionship, walks, transportation to medical appointments, and daily routines. I enjoy reading, outdoor activities, music, and creating a calm and positive environment for children. I am also comfortable with pets. I speak Persian and English, have reliable transportation, and hold a current First Aid certification. My background in customer service, education, photography, and community work has helped me become organized, dependable, creative, and respectful toward people from different cultures and backgrounds. I listen carefully to each family’s needs and always treat children, seniors, and their families with kindness and respect.

Susie $40 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Clayton, CA

Hi, there! I am an authentically enthusiastic, welcoming, & dedicated experiential education professional, skilled in making joyful and meaningful connections with others, particularly children & youth. I have over 20 years experience working with children and youth in outdoor education, 3.5 years experience as a private nanny (ages 1-4), and 13 years experience as a mom (successfully raising 2 children since birth). :-) I have a B.A. and M.S. in Recreation (with a focus on youth programming), I have an active Wilderness First Responder certification (advanced medical training), and I drive groups of students regularly for outdoor excursions. I am equally passionate about outdoor education and early childhood development, so nature play/exploration is an integral part of my nanny care! Outdoor education focuses on learning through experience, saying “yes” to try, and being curious about the world around us. I am creative, dedicated, easy-going, and a self-starter yet love working as a team. In addition to outdoor exploration, I integrate songs, art, baking, and field trips (e.g., zoos) into my work with children, and I bring a global perspective of having visited 17 countries. I would love to explore this opportunity to work with you and your precious little one(s)!

Booked by 5 families in Clayton, CA

Hello! My name is Shruti and I am a childcare professional. I have had the privilege to be a preschool teacher for the last 15 years. I have worked with the city of San Ramon, Childcare Careers and worked as a substitute teacher for various schools in Danville and San Ramon. As an extension of my passion and my commitment to child development for over 18 years, I also have a state license for a home day care. I am looking to transition to be a full-time or part-time nanny and am also available for date nights on weekends and weekdays. My goal is to make sure that all parents have peace of mind that their children are being properly cared for while they are at work or away. I love what I do because everyday I get the once in a lifetime chance to touch the life of a child and make a difference. I can provide several references if needed, and I would love to connect with you about your childcare needs! I’m new to this app so appreciate your patience! Thank you , looking forward to connect !

“Shruti is an amazing caregiver. As a parent, it's incredibly anxiety-inducing to trust someone new with the most precious thing in your life, but Shruti put our minds at ease right away. She is one of the most caring, patient and loving people I know, and she applies this to her care of our child. We've been very fortunate to invite her back into our home again and again to watch our 6 year old little guy over the past year, who claims Shruti as his 'best friend'. She helps us go through home school lessons with him (she has early education teaching background and is remarkably resourceful in finding fun but educational materials and activities) with LOTS of play all day long. She's very creative in setting up play opportunities indoors and out for our quickly-bored little man. I would recommend Shruti to anyone, especially if you are (like me) particularly insistent on having a patient, kind and flexible person looking over your child above all else, someone who puts their well-being first. We feel so lucky to have her help with our little guy as he learns and grows, and look forward to many more visits!”

"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."

"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)."
