Booked by 43 families in Glen Ellen, CA

Hi, my name's Michaela (or Kayla) . I work all around Northern California, but mostly within Lake and Sonoma counties, as well as the San Francisco Bay Area. I have 6 years experience nannying and babysitting kids of all ages! I've looked after littles as young as 3 weeks old all the way to teens as old as 16 years old. I have always loved working with kids, even as one myself; I helped out in the younger classrooms all throughout my schooling and have been "family babysitter" for as long as I can remember. I enjoy spending time outside, reading books, baking, and art. I absolutely adore all animals, so it's not an issue at all if you have any! Please feel free to reach out with any questions or bookings :)

Booked by 72 families in Glen Ellen, CA

I have 9 years of experience babysitting and caring for children from infant to adolescence. I am loving, patient, and very energetic! I love reading, arts & crafts, and dancing. I am fluent in English and Spanish! I have completed many child development classes and through that, I earned my Associate Teacher certificate. During my freshman year in high school, I worked with many families doing afterschool care. I would also volunteer at the Downtown River Boys and Girls club in Petaluma every day after school. Soon after I was offered a program coordinator position for the Boys & Club where I ran all kinds of enrichment programs while also helping children with their homework and building warm relationships with them. I also volunteered at Mt. Taylor Children’s Center in Rohnert Park where I engaged children in playtime, read books, and made sure children were safe at all times. My work through high school helped me realize I have a passion for caring and teaching children. I am a great role model for children and want to help guide them through their life’s in the most positive manner.

Melisa helped us out for date night and was so awesome with our 5yo! She even got her to bed, which can be tricky with our kiddo! Highly recommend. She is clearly an experienced professional and we felt great leaving our daughter with her.

Booked by 8 families in Glen Ellen, CA

Hi—I’m Shannon, a Bay Area household assistant based in Santa Rosa offering dependable home management, childcare and pet care with a calm, solutions ‑oriented approach that helps families feel at ease from the first booking. Experience includes camp leadership and consistent care for multiple families; happy to help with school pick‑ups, simple meals, homework support, and creative play tailored to each age group. A background in Food Science and years in fast‑paced workplaces sharpened organization, safety awareness, and problem‑solving that carry into the home. Comfortable with dogs and cats, and available for as needed and recurring support.

We initially hired Shannon for a last minute babysitting request. During our youngest's nap time she cleaned the house, and it looked amazing. She has great ideas when it comes to organization and structure, and provided an immense amount of support for us for an event we held over the weekend. Shannon's skills do not stop at childcare. She is incredibly proactive, creative, communicative, extremely organized. We would highly recommend hiring Shannon for your childcare and household support needs.

Booked by 137 families in Glen Ellen, CA

Hello! I’m Nicole and I am a part-time student, trying to finish my undergraduate studies at SSU after a long sabbatical! I am also a first time mom to a wonderful 4 mo son ♥️ I enjoy exploring new places, trying out new restaurants and foods, walking with my dog outdoors, exercising, reading and attending concerts with friends. My experience working with children has taught me so much and transformed me into the person I am today. I became an alert listener, a wise decision maker, a patient advisor, a smarter supervisor, a fun-loving and creative adult, a generous and open-minded caregiver, and most importantly a loyal and loving friend to the kids I work with. This has been an invaluable experience and will surely help me in my endeavors for the future :) ***PLEASE READ BELOW*** On a side note: it is crucial for me to let parents and families know that my rates are subjective to distance as well as the major holidays. Any questions or concerns please privately message me. - Jobs within 20 minutes or less from my location will only be charged my minimum rate - I would also like to point out my minimum of 4 hr bookings. I may make exceptions, please message me. - My cancellation policy is notification up until 24 hours prior to booking; anything later, I request 50% of the expected rate agreed upon. Less than 12 hours, it would be 100% of the expected rate. Thank you so much for your understanding!

On time, professional, and communicated well. Our 10 month old was asleep already when she arrived but she had been more than willing to help out if needed!

Booked by 4 families in Glen Ellen, CA

Hi, my name is Vasty (She/Her/Ella). I am currently a fourth-year majoring in Biochemistry, with a minor in Early Childhood Studies — hoping to pursue pediatric ophthalmology or anesthesiology! Personal hobbies of mine include band, lacrosse, and painting. I’ve been working with children for ~6 years, and have been watching newborns, toddlers, or kids since I was 14. I have a little brother (9) who I help out with consistently, and helped extensively during covid. As a full time student, I tend to help out more with occasional/ date night bookings during the school year but am always more available in the summer time. I enjoy crafting, going to the park, and cooking/baking. My responsibilities have included tutoring, crafts, dance lessons, and several more. 🌟I am bilingual (English and Spanish) 🌟CPR certified for infants and adults. 🌟Can provide references 🌟TB, Tdap, MMS, COVID-19 Vaccinated 🌟CNA, HHA Certified (CA only) I do not have any allergies to any pets. I have a cat so if there are any allergies, please let me know so I can assure no trace of cat hair etc. 🚨Booking Policies🚨 -Cancellations after booking require 50% of pay. Cancellations within 24 hours/same day require 100% of pay. *Applies to last-minute bookings and sick days as well* -Minimum of 4 hours per booking. (Trial runs excluded for this). -Family shares (children from different families) are billed at a different rate. -For jobs over 40+ minutes away, I ask to be reimbursed for travel time. -Full time of booking must be payed for, even if you come home early. -I do not provide transportation with my personal vehicle but I’m happy to drive the guardian/parents car if needed. -I do not care for sick children to protect myself and other children I take care of. This includes children with a fever over 101°F, any contagious virus, and any other symptoms. Thank you for understanding 😊

Vasty was a wonderful babysitter for my son and his cousin! She showed up on time and my 19 month old immediately took a liking to her. She had no problem entertaining both boys, getting them dinner, and putting the youngest to bed. If we lived in the area, she would be our go to!

"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)."
