Erin $35 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Erin, and I am interested in being a part to full time nanny or providing occasional babysitting for your family. I have 15 years of professional experience working with kids as little as infants and young people as old as 17. I can provide written and/or oral recommendations from all past positions. I have over 5 years of formal classroom teaching experience, and over 10 years of after school and summer programming experience. I have worked with children across the country from Washington D.C. to Kansas City to Tucson and the Bay Area. I have taught English Language Arts, Science, Math and History to a variety of age groups. Throughout my time as a teacher I also gained invaluable skills in helping young people develop socially and emotionally. It is important to me to work the whole child and whatever setting I find myself in. I grew up in the Bay Area and am happy to return here to look for work and build community! As a babysitter and nanny I am always excited to: help kids with their homework, provide tutoring to get ahead academically, play safely outside, play all kinds of games, make meals, read stories, do arts and crafts as well as much more. I am comfortable watching up to three children at the same time; for up to twelve hours at a time. I have my own vehicle, and I can easily provide safe and reliable transportation. I hope to hear from you soon! Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have.

Eunice $36 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Eunice, and I’m a professional nanny and household manager with a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education and a minor in Special Education. I bring a thoughtful, developmentally informed approach to childcare, with experience caring for children from infancy through school age. I am passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel supported, understood, and confident to grow. I believe every child is unique, and I take the time to observe their interests and needs in order to guide learning through play, routine, and consistency. I value structure while remaining flexible and responsive to each child’s individual temperament. In my experience, children thrive when they feel secure and respected. I focus on building strong connections, supporting emotional regulation, and encouraging independence in age-appropriate ways. Whether it’s planning enriching activities, facilitating social outings, or supporting daily routines, I approach each day with intention and care. Along with childcare, I am experienced in household support, including child-related laundry, meal prep, organizing, and maintaining a clean and calm environment. I work collaboratively with parents and value open, respectful communication, always aiming to support the overall well-being of the family. Families would describe me as calm, reliable, attentive, and proactive. I take pride in being someone you can trust to care for your children with both professionalism and genuine warmth. I am currently seeking a long-term position in the East Bay and would love the opportunity to support a family in a meaningful and lasting way

"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)."
