Margaret 2 reviews
$26 per hour for 1 child

i was born in San francisco and have lived most of my life in the Bay Area. i have been a nanny for 16 years and can’t think of doing anything else. the first part of my nanny career was with specific families. although after covid i started working with Care.com as a temporary nanny. the ages range from 6 mos to teenage years. i love doing projects with my kids from puzzles to baking cookies. i’m easy going and kid’s generally gravitate towards me

“Margaret is absolutely amazing. We have welcomed Margaret over 15x into our home to watch our daughter. She did such a great job engaging with our toddler, often we’d come home to find them together reading on the floor together or playing with toys. Margaret is extremely professional and we never had any issues. It is great to have someone reliable that we trust in our home. Our daughter is always excited to see Margaret!”

Karen $30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Lafayette, CA

Hi. My name is Karen Castiblanco. I’m 28yo. I am starting Early Childhood Education classes next fall. I’m originally a from Colombia. Fluent in Spanish and English. And I am offering child care since I really enjoy working with kids. I firmly believe I have a special connection with them. Right now I am looking for a full time position (8am-4pm or 9am-5pm). I will be available to start as soon as now since the lovely boy I was taking care of right now will be starting full time at school. A little bit about me: I consider myself to be attentive, patient, understanding, respectful and empathetic. I believe my personality matches very well with this job since I am also considerate, responsible, consistent and very supportive. This is what I decided to be my job because I genuinely enjoy doing it and take it very seriously. I take care of them as they were my own. My fascination for taking care of children started when I was 17. When I fell in love with my niece and then 3 years later with her sister. I’ve been part of their lives and I’ve seen them grow since day one (literally). And honestly, I’ve always been surrounded by children. Their spontaneity, huge imagination and creativity amazes me every time. It’s incredible seeing them develop and grow while you’re guiding them and learning with and from them. My goal is providing a safe and enjoyable environment for the children and keeping them active during the day. Since I started working as a nanny, I’ve mostly taken care of kids between the ages of 9 months to 10 years old, but I’m able to take care of younger and older children as well. I used to help at a daycare during my high school years as well as I volunteered on Sundays for my local church. I was also an Aupair for two years. Something I truly enjoy doing is sharing my language with the kids I’m taking care of (if parents are okay with it of course) I’m not a teacher (yet) but it makes me really happy when I can share some of my knowledge with them, it’s very fruitful and gratifying. • Strong driver • CPR certified • 7+ years of experience • Fully vaccinated • Pet friendly • Have my own car • Responsible, patient, adaptable, flexible and genuinely love working with kids. I’ll be more than happy to provide you with references as well. If you are interested please don’t hesitate to reach me out. Looking forward to talking to you soon!

"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)."
