Kati $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello families! I'm currently looking for a new family to join, as the family I'm currently working with just heard from their daycare. I'll be available to start in August, but I can be a little flexible to find the right family. I'm 25 years old and have been nannying for 5 years. I have experience with children from infants to tweens. I can also provide excellent references upon request. I live in Novato, but I'm open to finding a family anywhere in the Marin/Sonoma area. I have a driver's license and a reliable car and comfortable taking children to and from school, as well as taking their little ones to local activities or parks. I'm willing to help with housework, laundry, dishes, etc. I'm also available to babysit occasionally during the week, and I'm available on the weekends too! I'm CPR and First Aid certified. I'm up to date on all my vaccinations. I have experience sharing babysitting and working with multiple children at once. I'm also knowledgeable in sleep training and baby-led complementary feeding. I look forward to being part of your family! I’m looking for a full time! 🙂

"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."

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)."
