Hello! My name is Ava, I am 19 years old and available for childcare! I have babysat since I was 13 years old and I currently work part time with children at the Strawberry Recreation Center as an afterschool counselor.

Elena $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ellie, and I'm currently a senior at the Branson High School. I am headed to Carnegie Mellon in the fall and would love to help out with child and animal care before I go! I am certified in CPR & AED, and have a California driver's license (which I've had for 1.5 years). My experience is listed below. This past summer, I was a camp counselor at the Bay Club in Ross Valley, where I was co-responsible for a group of 15-20 kids, ages 5-10. I lead them in a variety of activities, including tennis, pickleball, swimming, and arts & crafts projects. I took care of kids’ dress, care, and food needs (serving them lunch, helping them change during transition times, making sure they had proper sun protection, etc). I will be a counselor again this coming summer. My sophomore year in high school, I was a volunteer tutor at Davidson Middle School. I taught a variety of school subjects one-on-one to middle school students (ages 11-13), goal set and planned out students’ calendars to maximize success, and collaborated with other tutors to create group study sessions based on subjects. My sophomore summer, I was a private volleyball coach for an independent family. Their daughter was an eighth grader who wanted help to make her high school team. I created over 20 custom lesson plans based on her needs and preferences, conducted tailored drills focused on technique, and offered consistent feedback and guidance on skills and performance. The summer after my freshman year, I was an assistant coach at summer clinics for Absolute Volleyball Club. I coached a team at an in-clinic tournament with third through sixth-grade girls, organized and implemented group drills focused on enjoyment and improvement, and collaborated with fellow coaches to engage different grades with one another. I also occasionally dog sit for my neighbor's puppy.

Andréa $35 per hour for 1 child

I am an experienced and dedicated childcare professional with a strong background as both a nanny and a doula, specializing in newborns through early childhood (0–4 years). My work is rooted in attentive care, emotional awareness, and a deep respect for each child’s individual development. As a nanny, I provide structured, nurturing, and engaging environments where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to grow. I value routines, gentle communication, and age-appropriate stimulation, always adapting to the family’s parenting style and needs. My experience as a doula brings an additional layer of care, especially for newborns and postpartum families. I am highly familiar with infant care, sleep support, feeding routines, and helping parents navigate the early stages with confidence and calm. I naturally step in as a steady, reassuring presence during what can be a sensitive and transformative time. Families often describe me as intuitive, reliable, and deeply committed. I take pride in building trust not only with children but also with parents, creating a supportive and respectful partnership. I am currently available for a consistent weekday nanny position (Monday through Friday, daytime hours), and I am also open to occasional Saturday support as needed. I am passionate about providing high-quality care that goes beyond supervision — focusing on emotional security, healthy development, and a peaceful daily rhythm for both child and family.

"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)."
