Nancy 3 reviews
$35 per hour for 1 child

Hola I'm Nancy and I am looking for an extended family to work with. I have worked with various families over the past 20 years. I have been exposed to the Montessori style. I have lots of experience with new parents solo or in a nanny shared. I have care for newborn babies and their needs until school age. I myself have 3 children of my own, whom I raised with the great families I worked with in the past. I like taking walks on the beach, listening to Disney songs, and have walks on a rainy day. My kids are now 16, 18 and 24 yrs old. I'm very reliable, responsible, stern, caring, flexible and I also have great references from my current and previous families. I’m searching for a family whose looking for an extended family to rely on. Gracias, Nancy

Nancy was a nanny for my son (now 2) and also helped with my five year old. She is capable, experienced, conscientious, trustworthy communicative and entirely focused on the well-being of the child. She always came up with thoughtful activities for our kids and was very caring with them. She can cook for them and also is a dependable driver. Feel free to have Nancy put you in touch with me personally if you would like to chat further about her!

Booked by 1 family in Lafayette, CA

Hello! My name is Bela, and I am a new college graduate, home for the summer looking for occasional babysitting/nannying &/or pet sitting opportunities! Whether it be watching your kiddos while you’re out for a date night, or keeping them busy during the day crafting, spending time outdoors, making them meals, or picking them up/dropping them off at Summer camps and daytime activities I’m open for it all! As I heads up, I have some days this summer where I will be out of town as I am moving out of state in the beginning of September! I have many years of experience babysitting and pet sitting and can provide references and a background check upon request. And as an avid animal lover (with 5 pets of my own and graduated with an Animal Science degree), I have also worked as a Veterinary Assistant for many years, so I also have a background caring for pets if they have any additional care requirements. Additionally, I am fluent in Bulgarian, and beginner-intermediate in American Sign Language. I love engaging with children in arts and crafts projects to keep them entertained with educational and fun activities that promote creativity, and spending time outdoors! In addition, I am also capable of preparing meals if necessary. My goal is to create a fun, and positive atmosphere where kids can have fun and feel as engaged as possible! Above all I prioritize the safety and well being of the children and animals that I care for. I look forward to the potential opportunity to meet your family! References can be provided upon request! 😊

Isabela is incredible with young children. She is highly educated and ambitious with great intuition and EQ. I would highly highly recommend Isabela 🙏

Hi, I’m Stefani and I would love to meet your family soon! 😊 I’m a responsible and patient caregiver with experience taking care of children. I currently take care of two-year-old twins and have been with them since they were 8 months old! I also did volunteer work in orphanages and hospitals — it was a special experience for me. I’m a loving, respectful, and kind person, and I like to bring a calm and happy environment.

Stefani cared for my kids with warmth, patience, and professionalism. They adored her, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. Highly recommend!

"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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

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)."
