Hi! I’m a dependable, caring, and energetic nanny with experience caring for infants and young children. I love creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids can learn, grow, and feel supported. I’m reliable, have my own transportation, and can provide excellent references.

Nicky $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I am a mother of one son who is now off to college. Being a mother has been the highlight of my life and brings me so much joy! I have also worked with Benicia Unified School District as a Special Purpose Aide, Substitute Librarian, and Yard Duty. Having just one child, I regularly had all of his friends at our house and some of them refer to me as a second mom. I am incredibly empathetic, compassionate, great at diversion, and fun! Kids tend to take to me quite easily. I look forward to talking with you. Thank you, Nicky

Yuting $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I go by Amy, I am a Chinese Asian American from the Bay Area. I have experience working at a summer camp for K-5 as-well as babysitting. I would describe myself as a friendly, talkative, funny, and reliable person. I prioritize communication, this incudes double checking with parents as well as always being on time unless communicated beforehand. I am really good at giving advice, as-well as encouraging kids on learning new skills or pushing them to try harder. I enjoy art, sports, cooking, and fun activities. As someone who prioritizes protein and health in meals, I am really good at cooking tasty meals nutritional content in mind. I am fluent in both English and Chinese Mandarin. For first meetings I would prefer to only take payment thru the website in order to prevent scams, after that, cash is okay! Please don’t be afraid to contact me if interested! Hire me now if you are interested in a fun, engaged, youthful, and knowledgeable sitter for your kids! I hope we can work together to create a respectful, communicative, and safe environment for both us and your kids! I can maybe stay overnight after trust has been meet and safety is ensured as long as I have a room to sleep in with privacy. I don’t currently own a car but I do have my license and I would be perfectly fine with driving your vehicle as long as the insurance is on the car and I am guaranteed to be covered as-well (it’s all about feeling safe). Please keep inquires and messages appropriate and don’t message about anything outside of my services!

Christine is so warm and caring. I would hire her again in a heartbeat and I'm sure she will get snapped up by a full time family soon. She was punctual and immediately engaged with my very shy kids, who absolutely loved her. She played games with them and had them talking and laughing with her within five minutes of meeting them. Would highly recommend her! For reference, my kids are 9, 6 and 2 and she was fabulous interacting with all three ages.

Yasmin $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Yasmin and I’m a freelance Caregiver. I’m looking to give your child the patience, understanding, and care they deserve. I have experience in seasonal daycare work, drop off/pickup, housekeeping, and animal care. Though I’ve only recently started in professional childcare, the joy I’ve felt from working with young ones has left me determined to immerse myself in the profession. I have experience working with children between the ages of 4 months- 5 years old. I’m interested in working with children of all ages and all developmental stages. Outside of work, I’m passionate about working outside in the garden, nature-based crafts, handiwork, and making creative seasonal and foraged meals. If you feel this aligns with your child and their schedule, I’d be more than happy to share my passions in whatever way you see fit. Thank you so much for taking the time to read, and I’m looking forward to talking!

"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)."
