Hi Everyone! My name is Jamiah and I have been an educator for over fourteen years with many of those years in special-education/inclusion. My care-work began as a baby sitter helping loved ones through postpartum, earned my first job as a preschool assistant, and it has now manifested into a doula practice. I thoroughly enjoy working with all families and children with many different learning styles. I am patient, warm, supportive and use my creativity to bring new experiences to your children’s lives. I have worked with babies through adults in various schools as an instructional aid, preschool educator, dance teacher, on the cultural administrator team, in day programs for neurodivergent adults, and memory care with elders as a private care giver. As a doula I have experience working with families & infants who are navigating birth and postpartum. Moreover, I am CPR, AED & first aid certified, comfortable administering medicine, navigating sensitive diets/allergies, have 10 Early Childhood Development Units, provide sibling support during birth (rates will vary), have work with families with multiples (twins), and love supporting families with pets. My care is centered around social emotional learning, restorative justice, self-autonomy, and trauma-informed. Moreover, I have a degree in Ethnic (study of other ethnicities/humanities) & Dance Studies and have worked as an art teacher for many years at MoAD. I am comfortable facilitating activities, developing curriculum, and some homework assistance. I am very excited about the prospect of supporting your family!

I am a professional nanny with 19+ years of child and pet care experience in the counties of Alameda, San Francisco, Santa Clara, San Mateo, and Santa Cruz. I am CPR certified and First Aid trained. I have experience working with over 100 unique families with children ages newborn through teen.

I am confident that I can handle any situation professionally & safely. My favorite things to do with kids are playing outside, reading books, and doing projects/crafts. I love when kids talk about their thoughts & ideas and express their creativity in the activities we do together. I am able to set & enforce appropriate boundaries with children while getting on their level to be a fun, playful, nurturing caregiver.

Hello, I’m Lieu’Miya! I’ve been caring for children since I was 16 and truly enjoy supporting their growth and curiosity. Over the years I’ve worked with multiple families, including caring for infants and toddlers, which has made me very comfortable with different routines and developmental stages. I’m currently a 19-year-old college student working toward becoming an engineer, so I naturally enjoy problem solving and finding creative ways to keep kids curious, engaged, and learning. I’m patient, calm, and very adaptable to different personalities and routines. Many people describe me as confident and hilarious (pfft!) as I bring positive energy while also creating a safe and steady environment for kids. I’m naturally kind, attentive, and emotionally aware, which helps me build strong, trusting relationships. I love getting kids outside for parks, walks, and little adventures, but I’m just as happy doing crafts, reading together, or winding down with quiet activities at home. I truly enjoy encouraging curiosity, kindness, and creativity, and I always adjust my approach to meet each child’s individual needs. More than happy to help with light tidying, meals, and some housework as I can understand the need for help! I personally love to clean and keep the place in shape for you. This is my first year using this platform, and I’m excited about the opportunity to connect. I’m currently looking for one-time and part-time options. I hope to work with you and your family soon :)

I’m deeply committed to creating a safe, nurturing environment and always prioritize children’s well-being. I’m CPR certified and known for remaining calm and reliable in all situations. I love fostering a peaceful, supportive atmosphere where children feel secure, encouraged, and free to be themselves. From baking and arts and crafts to outdoor adventures and story time, I enjoy planning engaging activities that support learning, creativity, and fun. Each day is an opportunity to help children grow, explore, and feel valued. I would love the opportunity to learn more about your family and discuss how I can be a positive, dependable part of your child’s care. Skills & Qualifications: • Clear and compassionate communication with both children and parents • Strong ability to plan educational and recreational activities • Knowledge of age-appropriate developmental milestones • Calm and effective response in emergency situations • Skilled at maintaining structured routines while remaining flexible

“Violet was great with our baby and made us feel very comfortable leaving her in her care. She was on time, attentive, played with her, helped with feeding and followed her nap routine really well. Everything went smoothly and our daughter seemed very comfortable with her. We had a really good experience and would definitely hire Violet again!”

"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."

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)."
