Booked by 3 families in Hayward, CA

Hi! I’m a mom of four with many years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to teens. I’ve worked in both private and public schools and have spent the last 15 years as a full‑time nanny. Even with all that experience, I still approach every child with curiosity, patience, and a sense of fun. Families describe me as calm, steady, and very dependable. I love creating days that feel peaceful, engaging, and full of little adventures — reading together, exploring parks, doing simple crafts, listening to music, or just noticing the small things kids love to point out. I love answering their questions about the world around them. I believe in consistency and open communication, and I am happiest when I can blend into a family’s rhythm rather than change it. Outside of childcare, I train and compete with my dogs and enjoy being around all kinds of animals. I'm happy to help with pet care. I’d love to support a family who values kindness, reliability, and a warm, steady presence in their home. --Leslie CPR/FA certified, TrustLineRegistered, Reliable Fully Insured Vehicle Numerous Exemplary References

Booked by 1 family in Hayward, CA

My name is Rocio. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and have over 15 years of experience working with children of all ages. I am CPR, First Aid, and AED certified and can provide excellent references upon request. Caring for children has always been my passion. Throughout my career, I have worked in both professional educational settings and as a nanny, helping children grow, learn, and feel safe and supported. I pride myself on building strong, trusting relationships with children and their families. Many of the children I have cared for have remained an important part of my life, and I am honored by the bonds we have created over the years. Families describe me as nurturing, reliable, patient, energetic, and highly engaging. I love creating fun, meaningful experiences for children while also providing structure, consistency, and encouragement. Whether it’s helping with homework, planning activities, exploring outdoors, or simply being a trusted adult in a child’s life, I genuinely love what I do. In my free time, I enjoy hiking with my dog, spending time with family, and being outdoors. I am outgoing, cheerful, and bring positive energy wherever I go.

Our kids ask Rocio to come back every day. That tells one a lot - kids are picky (at least mine 3&5 year old)

Hi! I’m Elena. I am a reliable and caring caregiver who enjoys working with kids and creating a safe, positive environment. I’m also great with pets and happy to help with light housekeeping, cooking, and keeping things organized. I can assist with elderly care as well, offering patient and respectful support. I’m friendly, responsible, and easy to communicate with. I’d love to help make your daily routine easier!

Elena is truly the best of the best when it comes to babysitters! My daughter absolutely loved her from the get-go. Elena has a natural talent for connecting with children and making them feel completely at ease. She's attentive, engaging, and genuinely caring. We've never felt more confident leaving our daughter in someone else's care. Elena goes above and beyond to ensure that every moment is enjoyable and enriching for the kids. Highly recommend her to any parent looking for a top-notch sitter!

Hello parents, My name is Evelyn , I am a happy married woman and proud mom of two boys 20 and 24 years old looking and I’m looking for a long term full time nanny job. I have been working as a nanny for more than 25 years with kids as young as 2 months and up. I’ll be available to start with a new family/families in June 2026. I am bilingual Spanish-English, responsible, honest, loving, trustworthy, patient, CPR and first aid certified, also registered with Trustline. I’m up to date with all my vaccinations, including Covid. I have my own car, auto insurance, clean driving record, and excellent references from my previous jobs. I like to take kids to parks, zoo, walks, library and to any other place where they can have fun, explore and learn new things that will help them to grow. As a nanny, I always make sure kids under my care are safe, healthy and happy. Please let me know if you would like to know more about me and my experience. Thanks for your time and I look forward to hearing from you. Best, Evelyn

There is no caregiver like Karina. She looked after my children and was like a part of our family for six years. She is helpful, reliable, so easy to be around and wonderfully kind, loving but appropriately firm with children. My kids still love her and talk about her often. Friends of mine would see her with our kids at music class or the park and remark how great she was with them. You will not find a better fit for your childcare 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."

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)."
