Marcia $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! ❤️ My name is Marcia, and I’m looking for my next full-time nanny position with a wonderful family. I have several years of childcare experience with children of different ages, including newborns, infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and older children. For almost the past two years, I have been working full-time with the same family in Marin, caring for three children (currently 5, 3, and 2 years old). When I started with them, they were much younger, and it has been amazing to be part of their growth and development. I’m very comfortable caring for multiple children at the same time and supporting each child’s needs at every stage. I help with daily routines, bottles, meals, naps, potty training, school schedules, activities, outings, driving, and creating a safe, loving, and happy environment for the kids. I truly love spending time with children, helping them learn, explore, and grow through play, reading, outdoor activities, parks, libraries, and fun age-appropriate activities. I’m Brazilian and speak Portuguese, and I’m happy to share my language and culture with children when families are interested. 🇧🇷 I have a valid driver’s license and my own reliable car. For the past almost two years, I have been driving children daily to school, activities, parks, libraries, and outings, always prioritizing their safety. I also have great references from families I’ve worked with and I can share my recommendation letter. I’m looking for a long-term, full-time position (around 40–45 hours per week) with a kind family who values trust, respect, open communication, and building a strong relationship together. I also prefer working with a contract so expectations are clear and everyone feels comfortable. I would love to connect and learn more about your family. ❤️ Marcia

$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Fairfax, CA

Hi! My name is Eleri and I am a rising junior at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD. I am a Division 1 lacrosse player there, studying psychology with a triple minor in Accounting, Entrepreneurship & Management, and Marketing & Communications. I grew up in San Francisco all my life, and recently moved to Corte Madera my senior year of high school at St. Ignatius College Preparatory. I will be living in the Bay Area for the duration of my summer break (June-September). Throughout high school, I was an avid babysitter, working upwards of twice per week for different families. I continue to babysit in Baltimore when I am available. I am also a private lacrosse coach, working with young children to mentor and teach them the fundamental skills of lacrosse. I love caregiving because I enjoy channeling my inner child! I love to play outdoors, cook new recipes (especially in my college dorm!), and turn off the screens to enjoy the life around me. A fun fact about me is that I love all animals-- you can find me "adopting" a dog for the day in Baltimore to take them on long walks in the park or Starbucks for an occasional pup-cup.

"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

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)."
