Rebecca $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Becca, and I've recently moved to San Rafael from Sacramento. I’m currently looking for a full-time position starting October 5th and would be happy to provide references. I have over 5 years of professional childcare experience, including Early Childhood Education (ECE) teaching with children ages 4 months–5 years, as well as coaching gymnastics and parkour for ages 2–12. I’ve worked as a private nanny for children across all age groups and especially enjoy working with infants and preschool-aged children (3–6). I focus on play-based, child-led learning in calm, structured environments that encourage curiosity and exploration. With infants, I have experience supporting sleep routines, feeding, tummy time, and sensory play. With toddlers and preschoolers, I enjoy incorporating movement, everyday learning like early literacy and numeracy, and creative play that builds curiosity, confidence, and independence. I also bring a calm, emotionally attuned approach, helping children navigate big emotions with steady support and clear, consistent boundaries. In previous roles, I’ve supported families with school pick-ups/drop-offs, meal prep, children’s laundry, and daily routines like bath and bedtime. I’m fully vaccinated and CPR/First Aid certified. Please feel free to message me with any questions or to chat about how I can best support your family. Thank you for your time!

$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 10 families in Larkspur, CA

Hi, I’m Julia! I’m a professional nanny based in San Rafael, with over 7 years of experience caring for children from infancy through 14 years old. I’m currently looking for a part-time morning position starting in mid-to-late August. In addition to nannying, I’m also open to House Manager and Personal Assistant opportunities, or a combination of childcare and household support. Over the past several years, I’ve had the joy of working long-term with two wonderful families. I’ve been with my current family in Mill Valley for almost 4 years, caring for three children (they were 3, 7, and 9 when I started). My previous role also lasted nearly 3 years. If needed, I’d be happy to share references upon request — both families can speak to my reliability, care, and dedication. I’m a responsible, proactive, and organized person who values open communication with parents. I love creating a nurturing and enriching environment for children, and enjoy incorporating arts & crafts, storytelling, imaginative play, outdoor adventures, and visits to parks or local kid-friendly events. I have my own car, a clean driving record, and I’m a non-smoker. I’m happy to help with school drop-offs/pick-ups, errands, meal prep, household organization, calendar management, light tidying, family assistant tasks, and other household support needs. I’m also available for date nights, overnights, and occasional weekends. If you’re looking for a dependable nanny, house manager, or family assistant to support your household, I’d love to connect!

Julia filled in for us after another sitter canceled last-minute. She was wonderful. Punctual, easy to communicate with, very friendly, and had an instant rapport with our son. They had a great time from the minute we left until the minute we got back.

Anahid 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I'm Anahid. I have always felt like I am part of each family I've worked for; now I always aim for the same type of fulfilling relationship with my new families. I enjoy organizing play dates, reading books to children, doing art projects with the little ones and going on nature walks to develop their sense of curiosity. With 6 years of experience, my skills also include meal prep, light housekeeping, but most importantly, creating a safe and supervised environment for your child. I speak English and Spanish, and have a squeaky clean driving record. I'd describe my personality as friendly and kind. In my free time I like to go hiking and read books. I am hard-working, responsible and reliable. Thank you for looking at my profile and considering me for your nanny and babysitting needs.

Anahid is a wonderful sitter. She connected very quickly with my girls (1.5 and 4). She's now working for us as a regular sitter. She's reliable, on time, and thinks about other things that are needed in the house (loading dishwasher, tidying the girls' rooms). Really a kind and wonderful person, and I highly recommend her!

"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)."
