Mila $30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Hercules, CA

Hello! My name is Mila, and I’m a 23-year-old nanny with a passion for childcare. I bring a high level of energy, fun, and responsibility to my role, ensuring that your children are always engaged and well-cared for. I have 7 years of experience working with children ranging from newborns to 15 years old, and I have also worked with children with Autism. This diverse experience has equipped me with the skills to handle various needs and situations effectively. One of my unique qualifications is that I am a licensed EMT. This means that your child's safety is my top priority, and I am trained to handle emergencies with calm and expertise. You can have peace of mind knowing that I am well-prepared to ensure a safe environment for your children. Additionally, I have extensive experience with overnight care and Baby-Led Weaning (BLW), which can be particularly beneficial for families with young children. I have my own car and trusted insurance, making transportation reliable and safe. I also come highly recommended and can provide numerous references upon request. I would love the opportunity to discuss how I can meet your family's needs and ensure your children have a safe, fun, and nurturing environment. Thank you for considering me, and I look forward to the possibility of working with you and meeting your wonderful family!

Kristen 1 review
$40 per hour for 1 child

With 18 years of experience caring for children of all ages, I truly love what I do. Building meaningful bonds with kids and meeting them exactly where they are is one of my greatest strengths. Organization is my superpower, and I use it to create calm, structured environments where children feel safe, supported, and able to thrive. I'm compassionate, patient, reliable, and creative, always thinking of engaging ways to help children reach their milestones while having fun. I also love supporting families as a whole and helping out wherever I can to make daily life run more smoothly. I'm excited to meet the next family I'll be working with, whether it be as a nanny or as a family assistant. If chosen as a family assistant, my rate is different, and I'm happy to chat about it when we meet. Please note that I am allergic to cats and most dogs.

“Kristen was our nanny for over five years, and we can't recommend her highly enough. She's part of our family, and both of our kids adore her. Any family who books her is lucky to have her. Kristen has 20 years of experience with children from infancy through grade school. She quickly picks up a family's routines and parenting style, so kids feel safe and parents feel at ease. She's warm, engaging, and meets each child at their level. Expect lots of reading, dance parties, and trips to the park. Kristen is reliable, communicates clearly, and keeps parents in the loop. She handles meals, clean-up, and bedtime without being asked, and the house is always tidy when you get home. Whether you need a date-night sitter, after-school help, or a last-minute backup, Kristen is the person you want.”

"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)."
