Marie Aude 6 reviews
Fairfax
$45 per hour for 1 child

My name is Marie -aude and I have been a nanny for over 20years in USA and took care of a wide range of children from newborns to preteens. I speak fluently French, Spanish and English . I am also educated and earned a Bachelor's degree in France and an associate degree in Health Science in USA as well. I am also taking early childhood education courses in Foothill college toward my ECE certificate . I have multiple skills such as cooking healthy food, driving, organizing playdates, doing art projects ( my favorite1 ) and enjoy reading children books. I also consider myself a compassionate person who believe in gently approach to teach boundaries and respect to children . Finally and most important , I always felt part of each family I worked for and always look for the same type of relationship with families .

I met Marie while she was at a playground nannying. I was there with my kids. Marie’s attentiveness and warmth were noticeable immediately. My husband and I were new to Marin county with three little ones and no local contacts, so I asked for Marie’s contact information, and soon after she began nanny for our kids! Marie has been an absolute blessing to our family. She is energetic and loving, and always respectful and professional. She spends her free time preparing activities to bring to keep our kids stimulated and happy without screens. She respects and implements each family’s unique routines and preferences, and is excited to share ideas in the most helpful, non-judgmental way. Marie truly puts her whole heart into nannying, and any family would be lucky to work with her!

Booked by 1 family in Lagunitas, CA

Hi families! I’m Paula. I’ve been working in childcare since 2017 – over 9 years of experience with children ages 6 months to 16 years. I also spent 2 years as an au pair, so I’m very comfortable being a warm, reliable part of a family’s daily life. My current situation: I’m currently caring for a wonderful 2-year-old, but I previously was taking care her sibling before he started school. I’ve been with my most recent family for 5 years – but both of their children are starting to go to school full-time, so I’m respectfully transitioning to a new opportunity. Safety & reliability: . Fully vaccinated . Own car + clean driving record . References available from past families What I bring to your family: I’m loving, patient, and proactive. I love helping children, I enjoy the outdoors – parks, hiking, exploring nature – but I’m also great at indoor crafts, games, and keeping things organized. I cook, I clean up, and I show up on time. I’d love to support your family – let’s talk!

Hi, I’m Vanessa. I’m 26 years old, and I’m from Brazil. I’ll tell you a little bit about my experience. I started working at a mall, selling children’s clothes and helping parents try outfits on their kids. At that moment, I realized how much I love children, so I knew I needed to do something related to that. I started volunteering at a preschool, where I spent time with the kids. They had cooking classes and played games, and it was an amazing experience. However, I left to work for a family with a 3-year-old boy. I used to take care of him—playing, feeding him, giving him baths, and sometimes putting him to bed so his parents could have a date night. I also helped them with potty training. I stayed with this family for a year and a half, and we still keep in touch. Later, I worked for another family with two children—a girl (11) and a boy (8). We used to play, watch movies, give them fruit or dinner, and help them get ready for bed. I am someone who enjoys reading books with children, playing outdoors, exploring, and discovering new things. I am also very patient and respectful with kids. For pet parents, I am an animal lover! I grew up with dogs, so they are a big part of my life. I personally have five dogs in my home country. I also take care of a family’s pet, visiting their house to play with the animal, take it for walks, give it treats, water, and food, and spend quality time with it before leaving.

Vanessa was great with our 2.5yo daughter. Would love to hire her again!

We love Cass! She took care of our two boys (5 and 1.5) all summer, and she is now our go-to nanny. She’s so easy to work with, very open to feedback/collaboration, a great communicator, and loves our boys, which is the best!

Kayla 2 reviews

$32 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kayla, and I’m a proud mother of two girls. I’m born and raised in Marin County. As a Mexican and Guatemalan American, I value creating a caring, respectful, and family-oriented environment for children. Childcare has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my mom worked as a nanny and often brought me along, giving me firsthand experience in the nanny and childcare setting from a young age. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for children ranging from 6 months to 4 years old. I love spending quality time with kids by reading books, going on walks, visiting the park, and encouraging fun, age-appropriate activities that help them learn and grow. I’ve also assisted with transporting children to and from activities such as story time, music classes, gymnastics, and appointments. In addition to childcare, I have experience providing care for individuals with disabilities, which has strengthened my patience, compassion, and ability to adapt to different needs. I’m also happy to help with light housekeeping, meal preparation, and keeping your home organized while ensuring your children are safe, happy, and well cared for.

Kayla was a wonderful babysitter and nanny to our son, and we’d highly recommend her. He genuinely loved spending time with her. She’s come to care for him many times, and she’s extremely patient and great with our 20-month-old. What stood out most was how she handled a day when he wasn’t feeling well. She comforted him, sang to him, and took really attentive, loving care of him throughout. That kind of patience and warmth is exactly what you hope for in someone watching your child. We’d happily have her back anytime.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
