Booked by 2 families in Fairfax, CA

Hello there! I'm a recent graduate from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, where I majored in Food Science. I've returned to my hometown of Marin and will be here for the foreseeable future. Kids and animals hold a special place in my heart, and I've been babysitting since I was 12 years old. With years of experience, I've learned how to create a safe and nurturing environment for children of all ages. I love the outdoors, whether it's a trip to the park, a nature walk, or a fun outdoor game, I'll make sure your children are entertained! One of the advantages of my current situation is my highly flexible schedule. I'm here to accommodate your needs and ensure a stress-free experience for you and your family. I am looking forward to whatever opportunities arise! Feel free to reach out at any time!

“On time, very sweet and calm. Great with our 15 month old daughter. She doesn't always warm up to sitters and was immediately happy with Mia. Will definitely hire her again!”

Yesenia $40 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Yesenia, and I also go by Yesy. I’m a professional nanny with 11 years of experience caring for children 4 months through 11 years old. Throughout my nanny career I’ve had the privilege of only working long term with two families, building strong, trusting relationships with both the children and the parents. Im dependable, patient, organized, flexible and genuinely enjoy helping children learn, grow, and have fun. I love spending time outdoors, planning age appropriate activities, reading, arts and crafts, outings and keeping children active and engaged. I’m easy going and have a “go with the flow” personality while still being responsible, attentive and consistent. I’m looking for a family where I can build another positive, long term relationship and become someone they can truly depend on.

"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)."
