Booked by 2 families in Hercules, CA

Hi! I’m Anabela 😊 I’ve been caring for children since I was in high school and have experience with little ones from newborns all the way through age 14. I’m a mom to a 14-month-old, and I’m also lucky to have four nieces and nephews under the age of five, so babies and toddlers are a big part of my everyday life! I currently babysit for a few families for occasional date nights and am happy to provide references. I’m warm, patient, playful, and very adaptable to each family’s routines and parenting style. I love getting down on the floor and playing with little ones, reading books, doing arts and crafts, getting outside, visiting water parks, and finding fun activities that match their age and interests. And if we’re having a baking day, I make a pretty great banana bread! 😊 I was raised in Portugal for much of my childhood and speak Portuguese, so I’d be happy to speak Portuguese with your little one or incorporate it into their day. I also speak Spanish if you’d like to introduce or maintain Spanish at home. I graduated from UC Berkeley with a BA in Literature and later earned my master’s degree in Business. I love bringing my background in education, language, and creativity into the time I spend with kids. I’d love to get to know your family and help make your time away from your little one feel easy and comfortable!

“Anabela was warm, prompt, and easy to communicate with. My boys had a great time with her while we were out! ”

Cared for newborns (preemies & twins) and infants to preschoolers! Families’ references include the words caring, nurturing, patient, honest, flexible, punctual and playful , with me being called “Aunty” by the little ones who easily adapt to and are comfortable with me. Keeping open communication about their day and evening activity with parents is a priority, while focusing on their safety and maintaining a clean environment with no distractions from electronics. Being available for sleep training and transitioning babies from breast/bottle to solid food are invaluable. Along with a keen awareness of developmental goals and providing age appropriate educational activities as little ones grow, are proven examples of an experienced, well educated caregiver who strives to maintain a calm, respectful and positive family structure.

Booked by 2 families in Hercules, CA

Hi! My name is Sophia. I have over 4 years of experience working with families in both childcare and house manager roles. I’m CPR certified, dependable, organized, patient, and very hands-on. I love creating a safe and fun environment for kids while also helping parents keep the household running smoothly. My experience includes caring for children of different ages, school pickup and transportation, homework help, meal prep, bedtime routines, laundry, organizing, grocery shopping, household errands, light housekeeping, pet care, and helping manage day-to-day routines. I’m also very active and love getting kids outside for walks, parks, games, and other activities instead of always relying on screen time. I currently work part time at Trader Joe’s, which has made me even stronger with communication, multitasking, food knowledge, and working efficiently. I also have a strong eye for detail and naturally notice what needs to be done around a home without always needing to be asked. I have a clean driving record, reliable transportation, CPR certification, and I’m comfortable with pets. I’m looking for families who want someone trustworthy, warm, responsible, and genuinely invested in making their lives a little easier. I’m available for recurring childcare, occasional babysitting, and family assistant/house manager positions.

Tara $30 per hour for 1 child

​Hi there! I’m a dedicated sitter with over a decade of experience caring for children of all ages. My goal is to make sure your kids are not only safe and supervised but also inspired. I specialize in bringing out children’s inner artists through painting sessions and original creative games that keep them off their screens. I’m also more than happy to roll up my sleeves and help with homework to ensure they stay on track with school. I look forward to bringing a little extra creativity to your home!

"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."

"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)."
