**03/28/2025: I regret to inform everyone that while I am still available to nanny/babysit, regrettably per my PCP’s guidance I must heavily restrict my sun exposure, while I wait for confirmation on whether or not I currently have skin cancer. Thank you for understanding.** Hello! I'm Gabrielle, a 27-year-old mom to a wonderful six-year-old girl. As an Air Force veteran with experience at the NSA, I bring a strong sense of responsibility to my role as a nanny. I've been caring for children since age 12, starting with my siblings and babysitting in my neighborhood at 15. I've worked as a part-time and full-time nanny since I was 19, enjoying the opportunity to create safe and engaging environments for children. I focus on fostering their growth through fun activities and learning experiences. Currently, I'm pursuing my nursing degree, with an expected graduation date of December 2026. My daughter will accompany me before and after school, as well as during school breaks, becoming part of the nurturing environment I provide. I look forward to the opportunity to share my love and dedication with your family!

Gabrielle, made our daughter so happy and feel safe. It was our first time leaving her with anyone who wasn’t family and we are so thankful for the amazing experience. We will definitely ask her to babysit again!!

Hi! I'm Sarah, a registered nurse with extensive experience in childcare, babysitting, and nannying. I am currently accepting new families with newborns through 6 months of age. I currently work as a Med/Surg nurse and have experience in oncology, pediatrics, and some in NICU/neonatal care. Before becoming a nurse, I was an EMT and have been CPR certified since I was 12. During my time as an EMT, I worked with Girl Scouts at Skylark Ranch, where I received training and multiple childcare certifications as the health supervisor and assistant camp director. I also have experience taking care of children and adults as Ski Patrol and as a ski/snowboard instructor at several Truckee area resorts. I am AASI level 1 certified and have worked as a ski/snowboard-nanny. I am currently looking for a family with a newborn or young infant, ages 0-6 months. Potentially older as they continue to grow. I have experience with twins and multiples. I love animals, am drug-free, a non-smoker, have a reliable 4x4 vehicle, clean driving record, and background check. I am willing to adapt and learn the specific way your family does things. I would like to be consistent with your baby's routine, feeding schedule, sleep training, etc. I am also open to travel and have experience as a family vacation nanny. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Thank you!

Crystal $26 per hour for 1 child

For over 15 years, I've dedicated myself to nurturing children's growth and development, driven by a passion for making a positive impact on their lives and supporting families. I do my best to balance good manners, kindness, and age appropriate life skills. I am patient, creative, friendly and warm. My sole mission is to focus on the children to make sure they are happy, cared for and feel loved. I believe that open communication and collaboration with parents are a strong foundation for a thriving nanny/family relationship. While I am comfortable for caring for up to three children of any age group, I prefer to focus on one or two children at a time. I have many years of hands on experience, with multiple long term families, and am very familiar with growth milestones, sleep and potty training, baby led weaning, etc. I am First Aid and CPR Trained, and TrustLine certified. I have worked for a premier nanny agency in Fresno for the past 9 years and have excellent references and letters of recommendation upon request. My role as a nanny has morphed multiple times over the years. I have mostly started with families with infants and have stayed on while they transition to toddlers and then school age. I'm always happy to help with meal prep, carpooling, and going on fun excursions with the kiddos while cultivating a safe, nurturing and fun environment. I really enjoy being outdoors and weaving in educational facts as I myself enjoy nature, gardening and camping. I try to encourage exploration of topics like reading (I am a voracious reader), gardening, international cultures ( I am half Hispanic and can speak a smidge of Spanish), cuisine and different genres of music. I believe that children should be immersed in the world they live in and see the magic that can be had if we just take the time to observe. Due to relocating to Sacramento mid-December, I am sad to leave my current nanny family. I have been with them for about 7 years. The children are currently 8 and soon to be 5. I am hoping to find full time employment with hopes of a long term arrangement. Please feel free to message me with any questions and I look forward to finding my new nanny family!

Booked by 6 families in College City, CA

Hi, I’m Brittany! I’m a warm, dependable caregiver with 14+ years of experience with kids from 3 months to teens. I’m currently a household manager and nanny for two boys (ages 2 and 5) and a 12-year-old, and I occasionally care for two girls. I prioritize safety, health, and consistency, and tailor care to each child. I support kids in building confidence and independence at any stage. I have experience with neurodivergent children (18 months+) using structure, sensory play, and positive reinforcement. I have a clean driving record and a reliable car. I’m also a certified pet sitter, a dog mom of two (and one cat), and I’m verified across multiple professional nanny, sitter, and pet-care platforms. I bring over 3 years of household management and EA experience, including organizing, scheduling, errands, housekeeping, homework help, and meal/snack prep. I lead with patience, reliability, and clear communication, and I enjoy supporting each child’s strengths. I recently relocated to Sacramento (95824) and I’m available immediately. I’d love to learn more about your family.

Brittany is very communicative and great with kids. It’s clear she knows what to do and can manage two little kids on her own. I appreciated her experience, great attitude, and professionalism.

Jayden 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, i’m currently a senior college student at Dillard University as a Biology and Pre-Health double major. I was blessed with a younger brother and beautiful cousins which have taught me all my babysitting skills! I’ve even took care of my uncle for a couple months while he struggled with heart disease. In addition, i’ve also previously worked at summer camps that had children ranging from kindergarten through eighth grade. I’m open to caring for any age ranging from infants to elderly. I am also a huge pet lover as I hope to become a veterinarian when I graduate from college. I have a labor doodle of my own named Nala and nurture her in love. So I am more then welcome to care for pets, even familiar with reptiles as well. I am skillful in cooking, cleaning, and all the house duties. Hope to see you see you soon!

Jayden cared for my three children—a 6-month-old, a 3-year-old, and a 5-year-old—and did an amazing job with all of them. She was dependable, professional, and incredibly patient, making sure each child received the attention and care they needed. She kept the older kids engaged with fun activities while also providing excellent care for our baby. I always felt confident leaving my children with her and would highly recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy and caring babysitter.

"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)."
