Carolina 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

I have been working as a nanny since 2019. Between 2019 and 2023, I worked full-time with different families and built great relationships with all of them, and I’d be happy to provide references. I am an organized, playful, and responsible person. At the moment, I am looking for something temporary. Mostly date nights or one-day services. I drive and can meet at parks, playgrounds, or even places like Sky Zone. I can also plan a super fun day with your children to keep them entertained and happy.

Carolina was our au pair and lived with us while caring for my two boys. She is responsible, loving, and reliable, always creating a safe and nurturing environment for my children. She quickly became part of our family, showing patience, creativity, and initiative in keeping the boys engaged and cared for. I highly recommend her to any family looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and dependable.

Zargoona 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! Here are some things about me: I am a mother of 3 children. I have worked in schools and in daycare centers. I have a certificate of Childcare from Chabot College. CPR certified. I have started a home childcare business 3 years ago. My total work experience with children is 25 years.

Zargoona was a fantastic nanny for my son. She watched him for about 2.5 years (from 6 months old to 3 years old). She raised 3 smart and successful children, and I knew my son was in great hands. Zargoona was very timely, responsive, communicative, flexible, caring and gentle with my son, and respectful of me and my home. She spent about 8 hours a day with my son while I worked and always kept him entertained by playing, singing, reading, doing arts and crafts, going outside. Zargoona was extremely helpful and hands on with potty training my son (as a requirement for him to enter preschool). Zargoona became a part of our family, and we still keep in touch. I am forever grateful for the time and care Zargoona provided for our family and would not hesitate to hire Zargoona again.

Berenize

$24 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 10 families in Hayward, CA

Fully vaccinated (Pfizer) 25 years old, bilingual (Spanish, English) female. I am a therapist for kids with autism during the day as well as a nanny. I am CPR certified, covid vaccinated(with booster!) and have worked with many children from the ages of 17 and younger. I worked for the Hayward Unified School District with children from ages of 3-14 in a classroom setting. I am energetic, fun and loving.

Berenize jumped in and helped at the last minute to support our four year old son. She was probably better at “playing” with our son than just about anyone we can remember. He had a fantastic time.

"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."

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)."
