Tsering $25 per hour for 1 child

My Tsering With over 28 years of dedicated childcare experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge and compassion to every child I care for. Originally from India, I immigrated to the US in 1995, carrying with me a deep-rooted appreciation for family values and nurturing care. For the past two decades, I have had the privilege of serving as a trusted caregiver for a single family, where l've lovingly tended to the needs of their children from infancy to adolescence. My journey with this family spans 20 years, during which I've not only provided essential childcare but also fostered meaningful connections and become an integral part of their lives. From soothing newborns to guiding teenagers, my role has evolved with each developmental stage, allowing me to witness and support the growth and development of each child under my care. My commitment to creating a safe, nurturing environment is unwavering, and my approach is grounded in patience, empathy, and cultural sensitivity. I deeply value the importance of imparting kindness, respect, and compassion in every interaction with children. Through my years of experience, I've honed a diverse skill set that encompasses everything from daily care routines and educational support to emotional guidance and household management. I am adept at adapting to the unique needs of each child and family, ensuring that every child receives the attention, care, and support they deserve. As I embark on the next chapter of my journey, I am eager to continue making a positive impact on the lives of children and families, drawing upon my rich tapestry of experiences and unwavering dedication to childcare.

Serena $35 per hour for 1 child

Hey! My name is Serena, with 2 years of professional nanny experience and 8 years of being the family nanny. I have experience with kiddos aged from 3 months to 14 years old. I've had experience with being the family babysitter since i was 15 years old. I offer childcare services, cooking for the kiddo(s), bath time, tidying up areas the kiddo and I use, and light laundry if need be. Some activities I typically do range from arts and craft activities, making baked goods/smoothies, reading books, outside play to tire them out, and board games. For younger kids I typically do more age appropriate activities, like sensory box play, tummy time, flash cards of numbers and letters. Additionally, I have experience driving kids around in former parents cars. I have reliable transportation so a commute won't be an issue. I am BLS (basic life support) certified, CPR and AED certified as well. I will provide my certification card (along with my Covid vaccination card), references and resume upon request.

Maura 2 reviews
$28 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I'm Maura. I'm 32 years old, I live in Oakland CA. I'm a very responsible, honest, kind and very patient person. I'm very dedicated to my work. I'm very flexible. I have experience taking care of children and babies. I'm certified in CPR. I speak Spanish and a little English. I really love taking care of children very well. I care about their well-being. I have my own vehicle and I have a valid California driver's license. I really enjoy going out outdoors with the children. Make their days dynamic and happy. I give a very safe environment to children. I like to play and make dynamics according to their ages. I really care that the children's days are very nutritious and positive. I like to work with families and adapt to their needs. I am very flexible to their opinions. I like to help families with their routines such as light cleaning, tidying

“Maura has managed to care for our 1 and 3 year old at the same time without issue. She integrated into our family smoothly and quickly which was very helpful as these transitions can take time for some. She is very intelligent, I was impressed how she caught on quickly to our Elimination Communication (EC) routine with our youngest and helped keep all of that progressing. Maura would take them to the park each day for 2-3 hours so they had a lot of time outdoors which we love, plus she has a lot of energy to keep up with them! She is very capable of all the usual expectations like food prep, cleaning, pottying and nap times. Very respectful of our family values and requests (no screen time, etc.). Most importantly to us was the extremely warm and tender way that she cared for our children, we will never forget that. The children adore her. Our family in no longer in need of routine childcare but we hope to stay in touch with her, as we have all enjoyed the relationships that were established. Maura is truly a gem, and during a time where it’s incredibly difficult to find quality caregivers we feel so lucky to have found Maura.”

Juliana $36 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Juliana, a professional nanny with over 4 years of childcare experience in the Bay Area, caring for children from infancy through school age. I have extensive hands-on experience with babies and toddlers, including feeding, naps, diapering, developmental play, outings, and maintaining consistent routines. I’m warm, patient, reliable, and very attentive to each child’s individual needs. I genuinely enjoy creating a safe and nurturing environment where children can learn, explore, and have fun. I love planning age-appropriate activities, reading, going to parks, playgrounds, museums, storytimes, and organizing playdates. In addition to childcare, I’m comfortable helping with child-related tasks such as preparing meals, bottles, children’s laundry, keeping play areas organized, and maintaining their daily routines. I also have experience with school drop-offs and pick-ups and am comfortable driving children to activities and outings. I’m currently looking for a long-term nanny position with a wonderful family in the Bay Area, ideally working with an infant or young child. I’m especially interested in building a strong, trusting relationship with both the children and their parents and becoming a dependable part of the family’s routine. Looking forward to meeting your family!

"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)."
