Tenzin 1 review
$40 per hour for 1 child

I'm a loving and patient nanny with over 12 years of experience caring for children from diverse backgrounds. I'm Tibetan born and raised in India and fluent in three languages, I focus on nurturing each child's unique personality with kindness and respect. Guided by my Buddhist values, I create a safe and positive environment where children feel loved and can grow at their own pace. My naturally friendly, patient, and creative personality allows me to connect easily with kids, creating a safe, warm, and engaging environment where they can thrive. I believe in open and honest communication with parents, and I'm always happy to provide updates in the way that works best for you-whether it's a quick text, a detailed conversation at the end of the day, or anything in between. I respect and follow household routines and rules while also encouraging children to explore their independence and express themselves freely.

“Tenzin is one of a kind and I have interviewed almost all of the nannies on urban sitter including on sight trial days with about 150 of the higly rated nannies. I am not kidding, I am very picky when it comes to child care... She is full of compassion, empathy and kindness. She comes home with full of positive energy every single day. She is very smart, emotionally very stable, she is extremely patient with kids. She makes every moment a fun, engaging and memorable moment with her creativity, positivity. She is full of positive energy. She turns tough moments into fun moments, It is hard to explain her greatness with these simple words... The world needs more people like Tenzin. If every child had a caregiver liked Tenzin the world would thrive!!! Tenzin makes exceptional expected. She is a baby charm, child magnet or what ever you call... She worked with us for 2 years, she raised my son with really good manners, she taught my son English and she raised my baby girl putting a lot of effort not to even make them get upset, not even close... Let your child meet her, spend time with her, it will make a huge difference, your child deserves this experience, it is much more full filling and much more fun then the Disneyland ;) I am surprise I am the first one to write her a review here on Urbansitter, she is very humble to ask for a review...”

Nieves 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Hercules, CA

I'm the mother of 4 adult children and 7 grandchildren, and I've been working as a nanny for 25 years. I especially enjoy taking care of babies, including in a share. I believe in providing a lot of love and affection, comforting children when they need it, and interacting with them to keep them engaged and stimulated. I enjoy taking children out for activities, to the park, library, and for walks. I can also help with developmental milestones, learning to move, walk, and potty train. I can do light cleaning around the house. I am from Guatemala, and speak Spanish and English. I have Infant CPR training, and am fully vaccinated, with a good driving record.

“Nieves has been babysitting my 4-1/2 year old daughter regularly since she was 8 months old. She was amazing with her as a baby - patient and loving - and she's amazing with her now as a preschooler. She has many years of childcare experience, and it shows. My daughter looks forward to seeing her, and she's very engaged, singing, encouraging her latest skill, talking and joking with her. As a parent, I appreciate how reliable she is, always showing up on time, and how easy she is to have in my home when I'm there working.”

Booked by 1 family in Hercules, CA

I have a reliable, caring background with several years of experience looking after pets of all ages and personalities. I’m known for being patient, attentive, and highly responsible—traits that help me connect easily with animals and provide a safe, comfortable environment for them. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and small animals, including pets with special routines or medical needs. In addition to pet care, I’m comfortable with light household tasks, following detailed instructions, and keeping things organized. My goal is always to make pets feel loved and secure while giving owners peace of mind.

"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)."
