Hannah Pacifica
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi parents! 😊 My name is Hannah and I am looking for some babysitting jobs! I’m 21 and have experience caring for children aged 6 months to 14 years, including my young nephews and family friends’ children. I love integrating art into daily routines, whether through painting, drawing, or simple craft projects, and I’m eager to introduce kids to creative outlets. I also believe in the importance of physical activity and often engage children in fun outdoor activities like sports or nature walks. I enjoy cooking and am happy to prepare meals or snacks, including learning any family recipes to make mealtime enjoyable. 🌸 In addition to my practical experience, I’ve taken two early childhood education classes focused on child development. This coursework has given me valuable insights into age-appropriate activities and strategies to support each child’s growth and learning. While I am not currently CPR certified, I am very open to obtaining certification to ensure the highest level of safety and confidence for families I work with. I pride myself on being reliable, patient, and attentive to the needs of both children and pets. I am also committed to ongoing learning and improvement, and I’m always eager to bring a positive and engaging attitude to every caregiving opportunity. 🧘🏼‍♀️ If you or someone you know needs any help (even just for a night out or errands), feel free to message me! I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available to help throughout the week and on weekends. 💬👶💕 Thanks for sharing! 🙌🏼

Karoline San Carlos
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Karol. I’m originally from Brazil and I’m a caring, responsible, and attentive nanny with experience caring for babies, toddlers, and school-age children. I have a degree in Human Relations from Brazil and a background in Psychology studies. Next year, I will be continuing my Psychology studies at Foothill College. Because of my school schedule, I’m looking for a live-in or full-time position with a family that values clear communication and consistency. My classes are usually in the morning (around 9 a.m. to 12 or 1 p.m.), which allows me to be mostly available in the afternoons, evenings, and some weekends. I enjoy creating a safe, organized, and nurturing environment. I love engaging children in activities such as reading, arts and crafts, creative play, outdoor activities, and structured daily routines. I’m CPR trained and always focused on children’s safety and well-being. I’m reliable, patient, and communicative, and I truly enjoy supporting families by providing calm and loving care.

Victoria was amazing with my 3 year old. They played, went for a walk and Victoria had her bathed and in her PJs by the time I got home. Victoria is on it and has great engagement with children.

$35 per hour for 1 child

I had the pleasure of working with a family for over seven years, caring for their children throughout many important stages of their lives. When I first began, I cared for their 3-year-old, their 9-year-old, and later helped care for their newborn. During my time with the family, I provided dependable and compassionate care, including overnight and live-in support whenever needed while the parents traveled out of town for work meetings in Sacramento. I always treated the children with patience, love, and responsibility, and I became someone the family could truly rely on. Although it was difficult to leave, I relocated and I am very grateful for the support and encouragement the family gave me throughout that decision. This is the reason behind my ongoing journey with being a nanny. Warm, dependable, and attentive nanny with hands-on experience caring for children of various ages. Known for creating a safe, structured, and loving environment where children feel comfortable and supported. Strong ability to balance fun, learning, and discipline while maintaining clear communication with parents. Committed to helping children grow emotionally, socially, and academically.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
