My Bio I have over 5 years of childcare experience, a background in child development and behavior, and 2 years as an au pair. I have worked with multiple children and various age groups, allowing me to adapt quickly to different personalities and needs. I am known for being adaptable, easygoing, supportive, caring, and dedicated to my work, ensuring that children feel safe, loved, and engaged under my supervision. I am a good driver, ensuring that children are transported safely to and from school, activities, and appointments. I am well-versed in organization, meal preparation, and creating structured routines for children, including morning, afternoon, and nighttime routines. I excel in keeping children engaged through playtime, homework assistance, and various activities that promote their development.

We hired Kayla as a part time nanny. She has surpassed all of our expectations and we feel incredibly lucky to get to work with her. She is calm, confident, proactive, reliable and considerate. We couldn’t ask for a better nanny and trust her implicitly. Any family would be lucky to have her.

Hi, I’m Julia! I’m a professional nanny based in San Rafael, with over 7 years of experience caring for children from infancy through 14 years old. I’m currently looking for a part-time morning position starting in mid-to-late August. In addition to nannying, I’m also open to House Manager and Personal Assistant opportunities, or a combination of childcare and household support. Over the past several years, I’ve had the joy of working long-term with two wonderful families. I’ve been with my current family in Mill Valley for almost 4 years, caring for three children (they were 3, 7, and 9 when I started). My previous role also lasted nearly 3 years. If needed, I’d be happy to share references upon request — both families can speak to my reliability, care, and dedication. I’m a responsible, proactive, and organized person who values open communication with parents. I love creating a nurturing and enriching environment for children, and enjoy incorporating arts & crafts, storytelling, imaginative play, outdoor adventures, and visits to parks or local kid-friendly events. I have my own car, a clean driving record, and I’m a non-smoker. I’m happy to help with school drop-offs/pick-ups, errands, meal prep, household organization, calendar management, light tidying, family assistant tasks, and other household support needs. I’m also available for date nights, overnights, and occasional weekends. If you’re looking for a dependable nanny, house manager, or family assistant to support your household, I’d love to connect!

Julia filled in for us after another sitter canceled last-minute. She was wonderful. Punctual, easy to communicate with, very friendly, and had an instant rapport with our son. They had a great time from the minute we left until the minute we got back.

Below is my bio- references are available upon request. Pay is negotiable. Professional Childcare Provider- House Manager I have more than 25 years of professional childcare/house management experience providing care to families including multiple children ranging from newborn to teenagers. I am passionate about helping navigate the early years of life safely and with love. I encourage and motivate through personalized activities including any and all sports, art projects, exploring nature, playtime and socializing. My favorite thing to do is to read to kids- I’ve spent my own money buying books for the kids I’ve looked after. Naturally your child is always my priority, but I am happy to assist in any way that will help make your life easier. From preparing simple meals consistent with your child's nutritional needs, to maintaining the house while the children are napping or at school and that includes: laundry, light cleaning and cooking. The only thing I won’t do is clean bathrooms and breakdown boxes for recycling. I’m also flexible about overtime and date night hours. Most days with the families I worked for consisted of a lot of multitasking which I’m excellent at. I’m also extremely clean and organized. I am intelligent, Healthy, Energetic, Outgoing, Reliable, Punctual and a Non- smoker. I’ve been certified in CPR and First Aide (adult and infant) I'm current with Whooping cough/Pertussis, Flu, and all covid vaccinations and boosters.

Graciela 3 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Graciela. I’m a dedicated and experienced childcare provider with 6+ years of experience caring for children of all ages. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and I have a strong background in after-school care, homework support, teaching children Spanish and planning engaging, age-appropriate activities. I genuinely love spending time with children and I always strive to connect with them at their level. I look forward to the opportunity to meet your family!

Graciela was kindly recommended to us by a friend last summer and she's been on speed dial ever since. She is passionate about kids and her important role as caregiver, babysitter, teacher, etc. She has sat for us several times and every time the kids have a ball and can't wait to see here again. My daughter's birthday was in May and when Graciela showed up for a sitting stint at our home in July she came with birthday presents for my daughter and even a gifto for my older son. She's extremely thoughtful and loving and we are lucky to have her in our circle.

"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)."
