Angie $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Angie, and I'm a responsible, caring, and dependable caregiver with several years of experience working with children of all ages. I had currently worked a pre school, where I care for toddlers in a classroom setting, helping with learning activities, playtime, meals, naps, and creating a safe, nurturing environment. I'm also studying to become a nurse, which has strengthened my patience, responsibility, and commitment to children's well-being. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and love planning fun, engaging activities like arts and crafts, reading, outdoor play, and educational games. I'm happy to help with homework, meal preparation, bedtime routines, light housekeeping, and pet care if needed. Families describe me as reliable, trustworthy, and attentive, and I always strive to make children feel safe, happy, and supported while giving parents peace of mind. I look forward to meeting your family!

Sunitasayra $30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Fairfax, CA

Hi! My name is Sunita. I bring years of experience working with children in both school and home settings. I’ve worked as a care assistant at Bright Horizons and other early childhood centers, and I love helping children learn, grow, and have fun. I’m also a mother to an adult son and understand how important it is to have someone kind, responsible, and patient looking after your kids. I’ve lived in different countries and bring a warm, multicultural perspective to my care. In addition to childcare, I enjoy cooking — especially homemade Indian dishes like chicken curry, coconut curry, biryani, and a variety of vegetarian meals. With the school break coming up, I’d be happy to help take your kids on fun outings — whether it's to the park, the movies, or other local activities. I’m reliable, caring, and always ready to help where I’m needed. I look forward to meeting your family!

Rosa $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Rosa, but most families and kiddos know me as “RoRo.” I’d describe myself as fun, responsible, trustworthy, empathetic, and genuinely passionate about working with great families. I’m currently a student at Santa Rosa Junior College and have the summer off, so I’m hoping to connect with a wonderful family here in Marin. My childcare experience goes all the way back to 2008, when I worked at UCSF as a childcare assistant. Through that role, I met several amazing families I eventually became a nanny for — and I still help many of them today with occasional babysitting, date nights, pet sitting, and house sitting. I have experience caring for children from newborns to teenagers, including two teens I’ve known since they were just 13 months old! FAST FACTS: • 15+ years childcare experience • Experience with newborns through teens • Clean driving record & reliable transportation • Long-term family references available • Comfortable with pets, house sitting & pup sitting • Homework help, meal prep & light housekeeping • Fun, dependable, and focuses on safety • CPR & First Aid recertification on the way! • Part-time, summer June-August

Emily $35 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Emily, I’m 20 years old, and I offer childcare and household assistance. I enjoy working with children and have plenty of hands-on experience. I’ve helped care for my younger brother, who is now 8, since he was a baby. With that I’ve developed a lot of patience, creativity, and a strong understanding of children’s needs at different ages. I love engaging kids in activities like arts and crafts, reading, and helping with homework. I also have experience working with another family, where my responsibilities included driving children to and from after-school activities, assisting with school assignments, and helping maintain a structured, supportive environment. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to assist with household tasks such as cooking and cleaning. I’m very flexible, dependable, and comfortable working in homes with pets of all kinds. I would love the opportunity to support your family and create a safe, fun, and positive environment for your children.

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

Hi! I’m Gaby. I’m 23 years old. I am bilingual. I’d love to help out a family in need of a babysitter/nanny. I am currently working for a family but looking for some extra hours during the week. I have hands-on experience with children of all ages—from toddlers to pre-teens. I worked at the Bay Area Discovery Museum running summer camps in the year of 2019 & 2020. I’ve worked for 3 families. During my times with those families, I’ve provided care, fed children, put them to bed as well as prepared food. I always aim to create a safe, warm, and fun environment, and I’d love to chat more if you’re looking for someone dependable and kid-friendly!

"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)."
