Nancy 3 reviews
$35 per hour for 1 child

Hola I'm Nancy and I am looking for an extended family to work with. I have worked with various families over the past 20 years. I have been exposed to the Montessori style. I have lots of experience with new parents solo or in a nanny shared. I have care for newborn babies and their needs until school age. I myself have 3 children of my own, whom I raised with the great families I worked with in the past. I like taking walks on the beach, listening to Disney songs, and have walks on a rainy day. My kids are now 16, 18 and 24 yrs old. I'm very reliable, responsible, stern, caring, flexible and I also have great references from my current and previous families. I’m searching for a family whose looking for an extended family to rely on. Gracias, Nancy

Nancy was a nanny for my son (now 2) and also helped with my five year old. She is capable, experienced, conscientious, trustworthy communicative and entirely focused on the well-being of the child. She always came up with thoughtful activities for our kids and was very caring with them. She can cook for them and also is a dependable driver. Feel free to have Nancy put you in touch with me personally if you would like to chat further about her!

Booked by 5 families in Hayward, CA

Patient, bilingual caregiver with 5+ years of childcare experience, including infants under 1, toddlers, and school-age children. I currently work full-time as a Family Ambassador for charter schools in SF and am seeking occasional or part-time babysitting in the evenings and on weekends. I’ve worked with SFUSD, after-school programs, and ABA services, and I’m CPR certified. Families describe me as caring, dependable, and creative. I especially love working with infants under 1, and I enjoy engaging kids through reading, play, and outdoor activities. I’m also happy to help with light housekeeping, tutoring (in any subject and in Spanish), and bedtime routines. Pet-friendly and reliable, I’d love the chance to support your family and provide safe, fun, and enriching care for your little ones.

Marieolos was wonderful and spent all night with my friend's newborn so they could get some rest. She was amazing with the baby. We will definitely use her again!!!

Booked by 4 families in Hayward, CA

Hello! I’m Marisol. I’ve helped raise my two younger siblings and have worked at a church for the past year, caring for multiple children at a time, ranging in age from 6 months to 12 years, including many children on the spectrum. I’ve also volunteered at the Oakland Zoo’s summer camp where I helped supervise groups of 20+ children during tours and lessons. I’m also bilingual (English and Spanish)! I’m an avid sports fan and athlete, participating in both boxing and flag football. I truly enjoy working with children and can guarantee that I will always do my very best to care for your child. I’m very hands-on and love engaging with kids, whether it’s sitting on the ground for tummy time or running around playing tag. I would love to learn more about your child’s unique personality and specific needs so I can support them in the best way possible. Feel free to ask any questions!!

Marisol was great! She was very punctual and actually got here a few mins early both times. She was sweet, caring and engaging with our son, and our son absolutely loved her!

"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

"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)."
