Susan 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

With three years of dedicated childcare experience and a genuine passion for creating nurturing, active, and imaginative environments for children, I am confident I can provide excellent care and enrichment for your family. For the past three years, I have cared for two children from infancy through early school age, supporting them through critical developmental milestones. During this time, I have honed skills in daily childcare routines, safety protocols, creative play, and age-appropriate activities. I am organized and detail-oriented in managing schedules, meal preparation, and household responsibilities, while maintaining the highest standards of professionalism and trustworthiness. My natural creativity shines through in how I engage children, whether through outdoor adventures, reading sessions, nature walks, or imaginative play that stimulates learning and joy. I bring an active, energetic approach to childcare that aligns with my genuine love for outdoor activities and physical engagement. I believe children thrive when encouraged to explore, play, and discover the world around them, and I am committed to fostering curiosity and confidence in every child I care for. My honest, reliable nature and strong work ethic have built deep trust with my current family, and I am eager to bring these same qualities to your household. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my experience, creativity, and dedication to childcare excellence can meet your family's needs. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to speaking with you soon.

“Susan has been nannying for our family for the past three years, caring for our nine year old daughter and three year old son. She is truly the most patient, compassionate, and loving nanny I have ever met. Susan is incredibly flexible, reliable, and dedicated, she puts her whole heart into caring for our children. Over the past three years, she has become so much more than our nanny, she has truly become part of our family. My son is starting preschool full-time in September, and I know it will be a huge adjustment for both of my kids when Susie is no longer here. We will miss her more than we can put into words. Susan has given our children a genuine love for cooking, art, music, and nature. They have loved all of the adventures she takes them on, from trips to the beach, library, parks, the pool, to all the little everyday activities she makes special. She is always engaged, creative, and intentional about making their days fun, meaningful, and enriching. Our kids absolutely adore her, and we feel so lucky to have had her in their lives. I would give Susan more stars if I could! Any family would be incredibly fortunate to have her care for their children.”

Nicole $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello my name is Nicole and I am a freshman at UC Berkeley looking to provide childcare services in the area. My experience: All throughout high school, I’ve worked during the summers at a speech and debate camp, where I was responsible for a group of around 10 fourth- and fifth-grade students for half of each day. My role included leading activities, supervising lunch, keeping kids engaged, and teaching confidence-building public speaking skills in a fun, age-appropriate way. I value helping children grow and learn responsibility while making sure they feel supported, safe, and entertained. I’m dependable, organized, and comfortable managing multiple children at once. In addition, I’ve helped supervise groups of children at birthday parties and small gatherings, allowing parents to relax while knowing their kids were safe, engaged, and well cared for. This has given me experience managing energetic group settings, maintaining safety, and keeping activities fun and organized. Skills: Group supervision in informal settings Age range flexibility Behavior management & engagement Structured + unstructured time management Communication with parents Responsibility & trust Educational enrichment Russian language Additionally, I am fluent in Russian, I’ve spoken it my entire life, attended formal classes since age 3, and earned a 5 on the National Examination in World Languages, so I’m happy to support bilingual households if helpful. I absolutely love caring for kids, and would be honored with your trust to help you out and keep your kids safe and happy. I’m happy to meet in person beforehand to make sure it’s a good fit, and I can provide references upon request. My rate is flexible and negotiable based on hours, duties, and your family’s needs, feel free to reach out and we can talk about what works best!

"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)."
