Madeleine $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Maddie, an early childhood educator with over 7 years of experience working with children. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Studies from Sonoma State University and currently work as a lead teacher at a nature-based preschool in Kensington. I have experience caring for children from infancy through elementary school age in both classroom and home settings. My background in early childhood education has given me a strong understanding of child development, routines, emotional regulation, and creating engaging, developmentally appropriate experiences. I love providing hands-on, play-based care and spending time outdoors, exploring nature, doing art projects, reading, and encouraging imaginative play. I’m also comfortable with meals, naps, diapers and potty routines, outings, and caring for multiple children. I’m patient, dependable, nurturing, and energetic. I’m also fluent in English and Spanish and am happy to incorporate Spanish naturally into everyday play and routines. I’m currently looking for a full-time nanny position with a family where I can provide consistent, nurturing care and build a long-term relationship with both the children and their parents. I’d love to connect and learn more about your family!

Bandana $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Bandana. I’m currently a BSN nursing student working toward becoming a registered nurse. I’m originally from Nepal, and caring for others has always been a meaningful part of my life. My caregiving journey started with my own family, helping care for my grandfather who had asthma and later my father during his recovery from a brain hemorrhage. Those experiences played a big role in inspiring me to pursue nursing. I also have professional caregiving experience. In 2025, I worked at a care home in Union City, where I cared for up to five clients per shift. I’ve also worked as an Activity Assistant at a rehabilitation center in Oakland, and most recently provided one-on-one care for a client in his home and continued caring for him through the later stage of his life. I also have childcare experience caring for both infants and toddlers, including a 3½-month-old baby and a 3½-year-old child. I’m comfortable with feeding, diaper changes, naps, playtime, bedtime routines, and keeping children engaged, comfortable, and safe. I really enjoy spending time with kids, playing with them, and getting to know their individual personalities. I’m CPR/BLS and First Aid certified and comfortable assisting with bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, feeding, mobility and transfers, medication reminders, meal preparation, transportation, errands, light housekeeping, and companionship. I’m patient, compassionate, dependable, respectful, and attentive, with a cheerful and caring personality. I enjoy talking, listening, laughing, and building genuine connections with the people I care for. Most importantly, I want the person I’m caring for to feel safe, comfortable, respected, and genuinely cared for. I’m new to this app, so I don’t have many reviews or references showing on my profile yet, but I can definitely provide references from families I’ve worked with. I completely understand how important it is to feel comfortable and confident about the person caring for your loved one or children, so I’m also happy to answer any questions and connect beforehand. I’m also a big animal lover and am very comfortable working with families who have pets. I’d be happy to help with basic pet care as part of the household routine as well! 🐾

Claudia $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Claudia and I am a 29-year-old who has lived in the Bay Area, Hungary and Norway the past few years working and earning my master's degree. I am currently seeking babysitting opportunities until mid-July when I will start my PhD program! I have been a babysitter since I took a community babysitter course at the age of 14! Since then I have gained extensive childcare experience, including a year of full-time work as an assistant kindergarten teacher in Budapest for 3-4 year-olds. Beyond this I have experience as a babysitter and nanny for children from 3 months - 12 years old, and as a private English tutor. I have always loved to work with families and feel so lucky to have had the chance to have so many lovely children in my life which is why I would like to continue this work! I speak fluent Hungarian and have some elementary Norwegian language, and studied French for 5 years. I was raised with family cats, dogs, and fish and I am also happy to assist in pet care if needed!

"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)."
