$35 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 4 families in Half Moon Bay, CA

Hi! I'm a recent college graduate with about 5 years of childcare experience caring for children from infancy through school age. I truly enjoy helping children learn, grow, and have fun in a safe, nurturing environment. I have hands-on experience caring for infants, including bottle feeding, diaper changes, nap routines, and providing attentive, loving care. With toddlers, I enjoy encouraging early learning through reading, interactive play, arts and crafts, and teaching foundational skills while supporting their curiosity and development. For school-age children, I help maintain a healthy balance of homework, extracurricular activities, outdoor play, and creative fun while encouraging independence and confidence. I'm bilingual, have a clean driving record with reliable transportation, and pride myself on being dependable, patient, and communicative. I also have 5-star experience as a pet sitter through Rover, so I'm happy to care for furry family members too! I have excellent references from previous families who can speak to my reliability, professionalism, and the genuine care I provide. I look forward to meeting your family and creating a positive, supportive environment where your children feel safe, happy, and cared for!

“Jocelyn is fantastic! Responsible, professional, kind and sweet with my son. We felt very comfortable leaving our son with her. They played a lot together and she was super patient. Highly recommend Jocelyn :)”

Jill $35 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Half Moon Bay, CA

My most recent and current experience is working as a nanny/private tutor for a 4-yr-old for the past year. I’ve given him afternoon lessons in the 3Rs, art and piano, as well as managed playtime, exercise and meals. I previously nannied for a little girl since her 8th month. I love children of all ages and feel equally well equipped to manage any age and/or multiple children. I enjoy cooking healthy meals and exercising with my son. I’m an avid reader and delight in reading storybooks to kids and engaging them in meaningful playtime activities or tutoring as necessary. I come from a large, close-knit family with 4 siblings all 2 years apart in age. I’ve been raising children through family obligations, babysitting gigs, and my own child (now 16 yrs) my entire life. I also have significant training and experience in healthcare and senior care. I’m a Certified Nursing Assistant and Home Health Aid. I’ve worked in hospital and home settings. I have an MBA and previously worked in the biotech/pharma and technology transfer industries for 20+ years. I’m looking to make a transition in pursuit of a better work-life balance at this stage of life. I’m looking for a stable family where I can become part an integral part of the fabric of daily life ensuring everyone’s day runs smoothly, happily and healthfully. My undergraduate degree in psychology (with honors) illustrates my lifelong interest in human behavior and child development. I continue to maintain an energetic personality and commitment to lifelong learning.

"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)."
