Booked by 17 families in El Granada, CA

Hi families! 🤍 My name is Leslie, I am born and raised in the Bay Area. I’m a triple major in Child and Adolescent Development and Double concentration in Information Systems & Decision Sciences at San Francisco State University! (Finished December 2024🎉). I am passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and welcoming environment for children. I believe children teach us valuable lessons in countless ways! My experience includes volunteering in a K-12 after school program and caring for family members from toddler through their early teens. Some duties included: Assisting them with homework, making sure they are safe on the playground, playing games/board games, and assisting with snack/lunch time. I also have worked with families for weekly scheduled times. Duties included pick up from school & driving them to their after school sport activities! On occasions, helping with bedtime routines. As for pets, I’ve been surrounded by them my entire life, both in my own home and while helping care for the pets of family and friends. I also have experience pet-sitting for families and truly enjoy forming bonds with furry companions. Thank you for considering me to support your family’s needs. I look forward to the opportunity to connect!😊 **I have my own transportation**

Booked by 9 families in El Granada, CA

Hello, my name is Natalia. I am a patient, caring, and responsible childcare provider with several years of hands-on experience as a live-in nanny. I cared for an infant from 8 months old for two years, supporting daily routines such as feeding, naps, developmental play, and creating a safe, nurturing environment. I also worked as a live-in nanny for a family with two children (ages 6 and 10) for one year, where I assisted with school routines and daily activities. My responsibilities have included driving children to and from school and extracurricular activities, meal preparation, light housekeeping, laundry, and running errands such as grocery shopping, returns, and car washes. I am organized, proactive, and always focused on helping families maintain a smooth and structured routine. I truly enjoy spending time with children, engaging them in creative activities like arts and crafts, playing, and encouraging their curiosity and imagination. What I love most about children is their honesty and how they constantly surprise us with their unique perspectives. I am committed to providing a safe, supportive, and positive environment where children can feel happy and thrive

She was very good with my 1 year old son. She took him outside for a walk in the stroller. She played with him, engaged and connected with him. I heard giggles come out of baby and that's always a happy feeling. Showed up on time to work and stayed the full 8 hour assignment. I would hire her again.

Booked by 6 families in El Granada, CA

I’m CPR certified, up to date on all my vaccinations (COVID, flu, Tdap), have a clean background check, and hold a valid California driver’s license. I speak both English and Portuguese, companionship, light housekeeping, meal prep, and transportation if needed. I’m responsible, patient, and always committed to creating a safe, respectful, and nurturing environment. Looking forward to connecting with a great family!

Deisi was wonderful! She watched my 16 month old daughter for the afternoon. She was very responsive and great at communication which I really appreciated since I needed last minute care when my regular childcare was unavailable. Deisi was so kind and my daughter seemed to have a lot of fun with her! I would love to hire her again!

Booked by 6 families in El Granada, CA

Hello- My name is Briana and I’m currently employed as a para educator. I work regular school hours, therefore am seeking babysitting opportunities that are in the afternoons on week days and am flexible with the times on weekends. A bit about me is that I am bilingual (English and Spanish), a big time animal lover, and I love the outdoors. I’ve been employed in the school setting for 3 years now and have gained experienced working with students from diverse backgrounds and with a range of learning necessities. I look forward to connecting with your family!

Briana was fantastic! She arrived on time, immediately connected with our kids, and made them feel comfortable and happy. She’s warm, attentive, and truly engaged — she played with them, spoke to them in Spanish as we requested, and kept everything running smoothly. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such great hands. We’d love to have her back anytime!

Booked by 8 families in El Granada, CA

Hi families! My name is Darby, and I’m a caring, experienced early childhood educator based in the Bay Area. I hold a B.A. in Child and Adolescent Development from San Francisco State University, with a minor in Special Education, and have worked with children for over 10 years as both a preschool teacher and nanny. Most of my experience is with children ages 1–5, though I also have about three years of experience caring for infants as young as 6 months old. I’m passionate about creating safe, nurturing, and engaging environments where children can learn, grow, and thrive. I take a play-based approach to caregiving and enjoy incorporating creativity, outdoor exploration, and age-appropriate learning into each day. I look forward to partnering with families to provide dependable, personalized care that meets each child’s unique needs.

"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)."
