I primarily worked privately with families but I also worked as a camp counselor for an elementary school where I was responsible of a class of 20 kids and provided educational and interactive activities.

$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Lillian, and I’m a dedicated, reliable caregiver with several years of hands-on childcare experience. I truly love working with children and take pride in building strong, trusting relationships with both kids and parents. I most recently worked with a wonderful family for over a year, starting when their children were 1.5 and 3 years old. Our time together recently ended only because the parents were welcoming a new baby and planned to stay home full-time. I’m happy to provide excellent references from past families. I enjoy keeping children engaged and active—whether that’s park outings, museum trips, storytime, or creative play at home. I always focus on creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where kids can grow and feel supported. I have my own car and insurance and am currently looking for part-time or full-time work. I take my role seriously and treat every family I work with like my own. I’d love to connect and answer any questions you may have!

Booked by 6 families in Half Moon Bay, CA

Hi families! My name is Darby, and I’m a caring, experienced early childhood educator based in the Bay Area. I hold a B.A. in Child and Adolescent Development from San Francisco State University, with a minor in Special Education, and have worked with children for over 10 years as both a preschool teacher and nanny. Most of my experience is with children ages 1–5, though I also have about three years of experience caring for infants as young as 6 months old. I’m passionate about creating safe, nurturing, and engaging environments where children can learn, grow, and thrive. I take a play-based approach to caregiving and enjoy incorporating creativity, outdoor exploration, and age-appropriate learning into each day. I look forward to partnering with families to provide dependable, personalized care that meets each child’s unique 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)."
