Hey Families! I'm Lu, I’m Colombian. I started working with kids on 2019 as an Au Pair for a family in Orinda. A little bit about me: - I started working with kids when I was 20 years old for a non-profit (TECHO) in my home country. - I'm a loving person with kids. My goal is making them feel comfortable, safe and happy with me. - The last six years working with kids different ages have brought me the experience to help kids to manage their emotions. - My husband and I love dogs (specially poodles) and pet sit during our time off. - I like to read. - I'm passionate about Design and Organization. - I’m a Spanish teacher in Lamorinda. Thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope we can meet soon. *I’m new looking for a job here but I can share with you my recommendations*

Hey there!! My name is Kaia and I’m currently a rising senior at the University of Alabama. I’m home for the summer and I’m offering help with childcare! I’ve always loved working with kids and have several years of experience babysitting/nannying children of various ages. I can drive to/from summer school, tutoring, and even just having fun during the summer! I’m very flexible this summer and have my own child friendly car to commute to and from wherever needed! I’m responsible, upbeat, and committed to providing a safe and engaging environment.

Booked by 1 family in Lafayette, CA

I’m a CPR-certified babysitter with years of experience caring for children of all ages. I’ve also worked as a swim coach, leading over 120 kids per season ranging from ages 3 to 18 — which taught me patience, creativity, and how to make learning fun and safe. I truly love working with kids (and dogs too!). I have a dog of my own, a sweet little Italian greyhound named Loki who happens to be deaf, so I’m very comfortable providing attentive and compassionate care for both children and pets.

Samra $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I'm a recent college graduate (B.S. in Business Administration) with a flexible schedule and a passion for helping families. I grew up around childcare because my mother worked as a nanny, caregiver, and housekeeper for over 30 years. I often accompanied her to jobs and assisted with children of all ages, from infants in diapers to older children involved in sports and extracurricular activities. Through these experiences, I learned the importance of patience, responsibility, safety, and creating a positive environment for children. In addition to helping care for younger cousins and family members, I've gained experience supervising children, assisting with homework, tutoring students, and organizing fun activities such as arts and crafts, outdoor play, trips to the park, beach outings, and other engaging experiences. As the oldest among many of my cousins and family friends, I was often the person responsible for looking after younger children and making sure they stayed safe, entertained, and cared for. I have a valid driver's license and can assist with school pickups, drop-offs, sports practices, and other transportation needs. I can also work as a household assistant and help with light cooking, cleaning, laundry, organizing, meal preparation, and running errands. I understand that supporting a family often involves more than childcare, and I'm happy to help wherever needed to keep the household running smoothly. I am comfortable caring for pets as well and have experience helping neighbors with pet care. I have also owned and cared for a variety of pets over the years, giving me experience with feeding, exercise, daily care, and providing a safe and loving environment for animals. I was previously CPR certified for both children and adults and would be happy to renew my certification. Families can count on me to be dependable, attentive, organized, and caring. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and enjoyable environment where children can learn, grow, and have fun!

"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)."
