Hi! My name is Keira, and I’m a recent graduate from the College of San Mateo with over 5 years of childcare experience.

I also have driving experience and can help with school pick-ups and activities. I love working with children and creating a safe, calm, and engaging environment. I use a gentle approach with clear boundaries and enjoy activities like reading, arts and crafts, and play. I value communication, consistency, and a respectful partnership with families.

Athaliah $27 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Athaliah, a mother to a baby girl born May 28, 2026. I’m currently looking for work to support myself and my daughter and provide a stable future. Since I’m my daughter’s only caregiver, I wanted to ask if you would be comfortable with me bringing her with me while I work. It would mean a lot to me and would allow me to earn an income while caring for her. I’m a caring, patient, and dependable caregiver with experience taking care of babies, toddlers, and young children through helping family, friends and work over the years. I genuinely enjoy creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for children where they can feel comfortable, supported, and cared for. I also previously worked as a behavior technician supporting children with autism and Down syndrome, which helped me develop strong communication skills, patience, understanding, and the ability to adapt to each child’s unique needs and personality. I’m open to helping with childcare, tutoring/teaching, light housekeeping, house sitting, organizing, meal prep, and cooking as needed. I’m responsible, attentive, gentle, and always try to make families feel at ease knowing their children are in good hands. I value kindness, cleanliness, safety, and creating positive connections with both parents and children.

"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)."
