Judah $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi Families! Im Judah and new to this app! I have over five years of experience working with children in a variety of settings, including private preschools, community centers, nurseries, Montessori programs, and summer camps. I’ve worked with kids aged 1-12 and have a strong background in both religious and non religious based childcare. I'm also in the process of starting my own home daycare, which I’m really excited about! I’m currently studying Psychology and Early Childhood Development, with plans to become a child psychologist. I now teach as a substitute preschool teacher and hold long-term sub positions at schools across the Bay Area. I love getting to know each child's unique learning style and finding the best way to support their development. I’m passionate about using play-based and nature-inspired learning to foster emotional, social, and creative growth. Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, arts and crafts, reading, and cooking. I look forward to connecting with your family and helping nurture your child’s growth.

Hazel $27 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I have been working with kids for the past 4 years now and I absolutely love it! I have the most experience with infants and toddlers but I still have ample experience with kids up to 12. I worked at a daycare for the past three years primarily with ages 6 weeks - 3 years but I also worked as a swim instructor with kids up to 12. I love crafting and playing games! I am comfortable with diapers, potty training, and breast milk/formula. I can watch 3-5 kids at once depending on the ages and I am also fully vaccinated.

"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)."
