Mia $30 per hour for 1 child

I bring a strong and diverse background in caregiving, childcare, and health, shaped by both personal and professional experiences. My passion for working with children began in high school, when I regularly babysat for families in my community. During college summers, I worked as a nanny, managing busy household routines, preparing meals, driving children to camps, practices, and activities, and creating fun, engaging days filled with play and learning. I also worked as a certified lifeguard, which strengthened my skills in safety, responsibility, and quick emergency response. These are qualities I continue to rely on in every caregiving role. Professionally, I have built my career as a nurse, specializing in both labor and delivery and pediatrics. These roles gave me invaluable experience supporting children and families at some of their most important and vulnerable moments. My medical background equips me with extensive knowledge in child development, safety, first aid, and health needs, and I bring a calm, nurturing presence to every situation. As a caregiver, I am dependable, organized, and attentive to each child’s unique personality and needs. I believe in fostering a safe, supportive environment where children can thrive, feel confident, and have fun. Families can trust that I will balance structure with creativity, making sure daily routines are managed smoothly while still encouraging play, exploration, and joy. With a blend of personal childcare experience, lifeguard safety training, and professional nursing expertise, I am confident in my ability to provide excellent care. Whether it’s transporting kids to activities, helping with homework, keeping little ones engaged, or simply being a steady and positive presence, I am committed to supporting families and creating a safe, happy home environment

Booked by 1 family in Lafayette, CA

Hi, my name is Bella and I am offering child care. I have been babysitting since I was 14 years old, and have experience watching kids and toddlers. I’ve recently gained experience caring for infants with the birth of my new nephew. I can drive to school/appointments, tutor, and help with art projects. I am a very crafty person and can teach your child how to crochet/ knit/ weave/ or sew. I also know conversational American Sign Language. I love nature and the outdoors, and love playing in the dirt with little ones as well. I am also happy to work with animals of all kinds.

Bella was wonderful, sweet and engaging with my 5 year old. Will definitely book her again!

Gladys $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Gladys, and I’m a proud mom of three daughters with a lifelong love for caring for kids. Early on in my career, I worked at a preschool where I helped care for young children. That experience really stuck with me and sparked a passion that’s stayed with me ever since. After that, I ran/owned two restaurant businesses for 15 years while raising my family. Being a hands-on mom of 3 while managing busy businesses taught me patience, multitasking, and how to stay calm and caring in any situation. Now that my daughters are older, I’m ready to go back to doing what I love most, working with children. I’m looking for a nanny or babysitting position where I can bring all my life experience to help support a great family. I’m comfortable with kids of all ages, including babies. I speak both English and Spanish, I can drive, cook meals, help around the house, and keep things organized at home. Most of all, I truly love being around kids and helping them feel safe, happy, and cared for. Looking forward to chatting and meeting you and your little ones!

"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)."
