Hi! I’m Hemon, a 24-year-old nanny and babysitter with over 4 years of experience caring for children ages 1–8, including some infant experience.

I always want to create a safe and positive environment where children can learn, play, and feel comfortable:)

“We could not be happier with our experience with Hemon. She has been our nanny for before/after school care for our 5-year-old son, and it's been super helpful.

Ana 3 reviews
$40 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I'm Ana, but I usually go by my middle name Lupe. I have been working in early childhood education for 26 years. I truly believe that children learn best through play and getting exposed to materials that help them develop their abilities. When kids are under my care. I like to engage with them through conversations, books, english and Spanish songs, basically, to me it's important they have a meaningful and quality time. Also, in my free time I like to spend time with my dog Simba!

“Ana is reliable, communicative and caring. She is highly experienced with over 20 years caring for children. She is warm and loving. She brings both a calm and cheerful energy. She is very patience and observant. She cares deeply for children and really understands their needs, development and interests. Our son doesn’t warm up to everyone, but loves her so much. He will talk about his time with Ana as some of his favorite memories. We have always felt our son is in great care under her watch.”

Booked by 2 families in Lafayette, CA

My name is Erika and I am currently working as a on call Medical Assistant at Kaiser. I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I speak English and Spanish. I love taking care and working with kids. I worked as a afterschool staff for 5 years and I worked as a Pediatric Medical Assistant for 7 years. And also did babysitting for 1-2 years. My responsibilities have included walking and driving to/from school, tutoring, soccer and dance lessons. Also assisting with homework, snacks and playing indoor/outdoor activities. I can also work as a household assistant with cleaning, running errands and other tasks. I have been a caretaker for my grandmother and am comfortable with senior care. I can drive to appointments or do other tasks needed. I own a Maltipoo myself and am willing to care for dogs or families with dogs.

“Erika went above and beyond. She noticed the baseboards were dirty and she cleaned those for us without being asked to. She also stayed later to finish her tasks which was very kind of her. Highly recommend!”

I’m Shnyar, a professional, and dependable infant teacher with 9 years of childcare experience. Caring for babies is truly my specialty. I’m experienced with feeding, diapering, naps, safe sleep, age-appropriate activities, developmental support, and creating individualized routines based on each baby’s needs.

"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)."
