Booked by 10 families in El Granada, CA

Hi! I’m Melisa 😊 I’m new to UrbanSitter, but I have over 7 years of experience working with children of different ages. I started my childcare journey as an Au Pair for 2 years and later worked as a live-out nanny for another 2 years. I also have professional experience as an Early Childhood Educator working with young children in a classroom setting. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a certification in Early Childhood Education, which have given me a strong understanding of children’s emotional, social, and developmental needs. I’m also a certified 200-hour Yoga Teacher, and I love incorporating mindfulness, movement, and creativity into my time with children. I enjoy outdoor activities, arts and crafts, reading, imaginative play, and simply having fun while following each child’s interests. I’m calm, patient, reliable, and I always try to create an environment where children feel safe, comfortable, and free to be themselves. Outside of childcare, I enjoy yoga, hiking, traveling, reading, and spending time outdoors.

Joovana 1 review
$35 per hour for 1 child

Hi Bay Area families,🌉 I’m Joovana, I’m a mom, a mother’s helper, and someone who genuinely loves taking care of kids and helping families.🤍 I’ve been caring for children for over 20 years and have had the opportunity to help more than 100 families through Care and Nextdoor, I have caring for everyone from newborns to teenagers. I was a Sunday school teacher for 8 years as well. I’m the kind of person who likes to jump in and help wherever I’m needed. Need someone to pick up the kids, run to the grocery store, help with potty training, change diapers, clean bottles, do laundry, fold and put clothes away, tidy up, or even make dinner? I’m happy to help. Being a parent is already hard, while juggling with work, life and family, let me help you! And if your kids just want someone to hang out and play with them, I’m there for that too! I love reading, playing, getting outside, doing activities, and just being present with kids. I’m not on my phone while I’m caring for them, and I’m happy to follow your family’s preferences when it comes to screen time and routines. I’m also a mom to 5 great kids, my oldest is 21 and youngest is 3, so I understand how much an extra set of reliable hands can mean! I have a clean driving record, I love organizing and helping manage a home, and most importantly, I really love kids. Oh, and I’m CPR certified! Whether you need a mother’s helper, house manager, part-time help, date-night care, or simply someone to come in and make your day a little easier, that’s exactly what I’m here for. You’ll find someone reliable, friendly, caring, and ready to help wherever you need me. ❤️ I live in San Mateo, and willing to drive up to 15 miles to help you.🤍

“Joovana has worked with our family for more than a year, caring for our son from when he was about 9 months old until he recently started school. She has been a wonderful caregiver and is genuinely loving, patient, and caring with children. Our son is usually very cautious around people he meets for the first time and normally takes a while to warm up. We were very impressed that Joovana was able to make him feel comfortable enough to nap with her on the very first day they met. From the beginning, she built a very special and trusting relationship with him. Joovana has been great to work with, and we always felt that our son was in caring and capable hands. Even now that he is in school and doesn’t see her regularly, he still sometimes says Joovana’s name at home, which says a lot about how much he likes and remembers her. We are very grateful for the care and love Joovana has given our son over the past year and would happily recommend her to other families looking for a kind and dependable caregiver.”

Booked by 4 families in El Granada, CA

Hello, my name is Marisa. I currently run my own petsitting & dog walking business while nannying part time. I have over 15 years of experience babysitting and nannying, and I enjoy working with children of all ages! I have both personal and professional experience working with children who are neurodivergent, including children on the ASD spectrum and with ADHD. I am patient, caring, and compassionate, and I work well with parents/caregivers to meet the specific needs of their family! I am also skilled in managing school pick-up and drop-off routines for multiple children. In my free time I enjoy hanging out with my friends and cat, going to concerts, going to the movie theater to watch oldies, and playing claw machines at Round1. Please message me to double check availability, as my calendar may not always be up to date. Cancellation Policy: If bookings are cancelled by the parent/caregiver within 24 hours of the start time of the booking, I charge a fee of 50% of the total booking to help offset the loss of wages on short notice.

“Marisa was punctual, responsive and very sweet towards my son! We will be asking for her help again!”

With over seven years of childcare experience in the United States, I am dedicated to providing a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for children. In addition to my experience as a nanny, I worked as a teacher in Brazil, where I taught Portuguese as a second language in a multicultural school for children of diplomats. I also have a background as a Brazilian lawyer, which strengthened my organization, responsibility, and problem-solving skills. I am passionate about supporting children’s development, creating structured routines, and fostering a positive and caring environment. I would love the opportunity to contribute to your family.

“Arrived on time, responsive and very professional. Kids like her too.”

Hello parents! My name is Sally, and I’m a mom of three. I used to be active on this platform a few years ago, and I’m excited to be back! I’m CPR certified and have been babysitting for over 10 years — everything from newborns to teenagers, including experience in a childcare center. Over the years, I’ve helped with school drop-offs and pick-ups, meal prep, park outings, and running errands. I have my own car, a valid driver’s license, and I’m a very safe and reliable driver. If you have any questions or would like to chat, feel free to send me a message. I’d love to get to know your family! Best, Sally

"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

"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)."
