Booked by 60 families in Fairfax, CA

Hi, I’m Andrea! I’m a reliable and caring babysitter with over 6 years of experience supporting families in the Bay Area. I’ve worked with children of all ages—including newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids (including twins!). I also spent one full year working with a toddler girl, and I absolutely love helping little ones learn and grow. I’m a former au pair with nearly 3 years of live-in experience, and I’m always looking for ways to continue learning and improving in childcare. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, fully vaccinated (COVID + boosters, flu shot, Tdap), and have a clean driving record with strong experience driving children to school, activities, and appointments. I can also help with light cooking, laundry, homework, Spanish lessons, pet care, and more. I’m flexible, dependable, and happy to step in when your family needs an extra hand. Looking forward to meeting you and your little ones!

Andrea was great, my kids had a blast. She even apologized for not emptying our dishwasher because it was running but I never expected her to empty it to begin with. We look forward to hiring her again.

Booked by 28 families in Fairfax, CA

Hi! I'm Kethlen. I'm originally from Brazil and moved to San Francisco in 2019 to work as an au pair. Since then, I've been working as a nanny and family assistant for families throughout the Bay Area. For the past four years, I've worked as a Family Assistant with families in Marin County, helping with childcare, school pick-ups, household organization, errands, meal prep, and keeping busy households running smoothly. I'm currently a student at College of Marin, so I'm looking for part-time and occasional babysitting or family assistant opportunities that fit around my class schedule. I'm reliable, organized, patient, and genuinely enjoy working with children and supporting families. I'd love to connect if you're looking for someone dependable who can jump in when you need an extra hand!

"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)."
