Hi! My name is Adela and I am a mom of 3 girls. An 21 year old, a 15year old, and a 8 year old. I have a lot of experience with kids and cleaning as well so I’m offering child care services and housecleaning services. I love taking care and spending time with kids!

Diana $35 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Diana. I have been a professional nanny for 15 plus years and have experience with newborns through preteen age. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and can speak them both fluently. I love to read, be outdoors, do crafts, have dance parties, and just be silly. Working with kids is a passion of mine from a very young age. Communicating with the needs of children is my priority, amongst other things. I adapt well to most parenting styles, and creating a nurturing supportive bond with the children as well as the parents is always my goal. I always strive to go above and beyond for families to maximize their one on one time with the children and daily household responsibilities. My current availability is 8:45-2pm depending on proximity, except Wednesdays where I am not available. Look forward to meeting all the wonderful families. Warmly, Diana

$35 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 77 families in Cotati, CA

Hi my name is Juana, I've been working with kids for 20+ years. I enjoy seeing children development physically and emotionally. I love to take kids to walks or to the park. I like cooking and I don't mind light cleaning. I have an ECE associate from SRJC, and I’m working on getting my ECE certificate. I would provide local references after we meet up in person and decide we are a good fit. Cancellation policy: because babysitting it's my main source of income I require 50% of the booking if you need to cancel a booking with 24 hours. 100% of the booking if you cancel with 12 hours notice. I require a minimum of 4 hour per booking. Also I require to get paid the time I get booked even if you come home earlier. Because I have full time nanny job and I’m protecting my regular nanny kids, I do not take care of children if they are sick with a fever over 102, or any contagious virus. Thank you for understanding. Also my rates will change if kids are from different families. -Thanks for reading.

“We hired Juana to look after our 7mo old son. She was a natural from the moment she walked in our home, providing us with great comfort along with a safe and happy environment for our son. After we provided a quick overview of his routine, Juana helped right away. It’s clear she loves caring for children, and making sure the time she spends with them is quality time. Whether it be reading books, walks outside, playtime or speaking in Spanish, Juana had our son’s best interest at heart. We will be using Juana again and highly recommend her to other parents. ”

"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."

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)."
