celeste $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Celeste and i’m college student and a part time employee at sephora and am looking to extend my work services in childcare. I love reading, walking my dog, playing piano, and spending time with my family. I have worked as a summer camp counselor for the last 4 years (2 years as a volunteer and 2 as an employee) and I have really grown to like it. I also have three little sisters (ages ranging from 13-18) that I have helped care for since their births.

Brenda $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Brenda! I am in my last semester at San Francisco State University, completing a Bachelor’s degree in French Language & Literature with a minor in Mandarin Language & Literature. I am fluent in Spanish and French, with strong communication skills that allow me to support children in learning, homework help, and even language practice. I have hands-on childcare experience through helping at my church with toddlers and young children, where I organized interactive activities, playtime, and snacks. Families describe me as patient, responsible, and creative. I enjoy reading with kids, crafts, outdoor play, and helping with schoolwork. Alongside childcare, I offer household support such as light cleaning, laundry, errands, and meal prep. My volunteer work at a food pantry also shaped me into a dependable and compassionate person who enjoys serving others. I am excited to bring my positive energy, reliability, and nurturing personality into your home while creating a safe and supportive environment for your children.

Hi families! I’m Tshego — a former au pair and experienced nanny with 3+ years caring for infants, toddlers, and school‑age kids. I’m based in Fremont and available to start immediately. I’m known for being calm, structured, and very reliable. I follow routines well, communicate clearly with parents, and create a warm, safe environment for children.

I have a valid driver’s license, strong references from my host family and previous employers, and I’m comfortable managing busy schedules or multiple children.

Hello! My name is [JJ]. I am looking for a part-time childcare position, about 4 hours a day, caring for children ages 0–5.

Soaga $30 per hour for 1 child

A Little About Me 🩷 I’m a caring, patient, and creative childcare professional with 5 years of experience working with children from infants through 12 years old. I’ve worked as a lead teacher in both infant and preschool classrooms and have 16 ECE units, including coursework focused on infant and toddler development. Outside of childcare, I’m a very creative person and love doing art, listening to music, traveling, and exploring new places. I enjoy finding fun and creative ways to keep children engaged, whether that’s doing arts and crafts, playing outside, reading, or simply letting them use their imagination. I love getting to know each child’s unique personality and creating an environment where they feel safe, comfortable, and encouraged to be themselves. 🥰 I’m excited to meet your family and hopefully become someone your little ones feel happy and comfortable with! 💕

"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)."
