Booked by 11 families in Fair Oaks, CA

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!

Sydney $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Sydney! I’m 27 years old with over 10 years of babysitting experience, and I’ve also worked as a private swim instructor. I currently work remotely as a program manager for a nonprofit chamber of commerce and I’m pursuing my master’s degree at UC Davis. I’ve cared for children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens, and I love supporting families with evening or weekend help when they need a break or a night out. I specialize in one-time and part-time care, and I’m happy to help with meal prep, bedtime, homework, or just keeping the kids entertained and safe. Families often describe me as reliable, communicative, and thoughtful. I bring a calm energy to the home and always aim to make things easier for both parents and kids. I’d love to connect and see how I can support your family.

Samara $20 per hour for 1 child

Hii, I’m Samara I have over 4 years of experience caring for children from newborns to 12 years old, always with dedication, responsibility, and warmth. During this time, I developed important skills such as creating safe routines, encouraging creativity through playful and educational activities, and supporting children’s emotional growth. In addition to my experience as a nanny/babysitter, I also worked as a Portuguese teacher for 8-year-old girls in a non-profit organization. This experience strengthened my patience, communication, and creativity while teaching, and it deepened my passion for working with children—helping them learn, develop, and thrive in a positive and nurturing environment. I also have knowledge of the Montessori approach, which allows me to foster independence, respect, and curiosity in children.

Kylie $25 per hour for 1 child

I'm a friendly, creative, experienced caregiver who adores working with kids. I am back in Sacramento after years as a creative in New York City. I love to bring that creativity and sense of play into my time babysitting and uncovering/engaging with what your kids are excited about. I started working in kid's camps in local Sacramento parks through high school and college. There we really focused on expanding imagination and a sense of play with kids 3-12. In college, I began working as a nanny for a few families in the San Diego area- those kids were between the ages of 2&7. In my 9 years in NYC, I also worked as a nanny for a family with children from the time their oldest was 18 months to when he was 9 years old and they moved. I was fortunate enough to be with that family through the birth of their second and third children. I gained experience with newborn and infant care, and the joys/challenges of bed time for three little ones. I'm comfortable with covering dinner/bath/and bedtime as well as running kids all over town for their myriad of activities. I also can make any lazy Saturday into a backyard adventure. I'd love to hang with your kiddos!

"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)."
