Booked by 42 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 77 families in Glen Ellen, CA

Hi my name is Juana, I've been working with kids for 20+ years. I enjoy seeing children development physically and emotionally. I love to take kids to walks or to the park. I like cooking and I don't mind light cleaning. I have an ECE associate from SRJC, and I’m working on getting my ECE certificate. I would provide local references after we meet up in person and decide we are a good fit. Cancellation policy: because babysitting it's my main source of income I require 50% of the booking if you need to cancel a booking with 24 hours. 100% of the booking if you cancel with 12 hours notice. I require a minimum of 4 hour per booking. Also I require to get paid the time I get booked even if you come home earlier. Because I have full time nanny job and I’m protecting my regular nanny kids, I do not take care of children if they are sick with a fever over 102, or any contagious virus. Thank you for understanding. Also my rates will change if kids are from different families. -Thanks for reading.

“We hired Juana to look after our 7mo old son. She was a natural from the moment she walked in our home, providing us with great comfort along with a safe and happy environment for our son. After we provided a quick overview of his routine, Juana helped right away. It’s clear she loves caring for children, and making sure the time she spends with them is quality time. Whether it be reading books, walks outside, playtime or speaking in Spanish, Juana had our son’s best interest at heart. We will be using Juana again and highly recommend her to other parents. ”

Santa Rosa
$30 per hour for 1 child
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.”

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.

“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.”

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
