Hi my name is Amanda, I did track and field at uc davis this past year. Ive been coaching gymnastics and babysitting little kids ages 1-16+ for about 3 years now. I do birthday parties and gymnastics camps for when kids have breaks for school. I love working with them, having fun with them and just being there for the kids.

Kimberly 1 review
$22 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m Kimberly, and caring for children has been a meaningful part of my life for more than 30 years. As a mother of four grown children and a proud grandmother, I bring not only extensive childcare experience, but the patience, warmth, and understanding that come from a lifetime of caring for little ones. I have experience with children from newborns through age 13, including overnight newborn care and caring for multiple children at once. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, a non-smoker, have reliable transportation, and am very comfortable with pets. My childcare style is loving, attentive, and hands-on. I believe children thrive with plenty of interaction and very limited screen time. Depending on their age, our days might include reading, singing, imaginative play, arts and crafts, sensory activities, outdoor adventures, walks, trips to the park, and age-appropriate activities that encourage developmental milestones. With babies, I especially enjoy tummy time, floor play, reading, singing, and helping them explore their world safely. I believe in gentle, respectful caregiving while also providing consistency and age-appropriate boundaries. Every child deserves to feel safe, heard, encouraged, and genuinely loved while in my care. I also value open communication with parents and understand the importance of respecting each family’s routines, parenting preferences, and household. Most importantly, I don’t see nannying as simply watching children. I want parents to leave knowing their little ones are with someone who will protect them, engage with them, encourage them, and care for them as if they were my own. I would love the opportunity to become a trusted and dependable part of your family’s support system. Kimberly

“It is a pleasure to recommend Kimberly as a nanny. She brings warmth, patience, and genuine care to her work, creating an environment where children feel safe, loved, and encouraged to be themselves. Kimberly has a wonderful ability to connect with children and make everyday moments meaningful. Whether she is reading stories, planning creative activities, supporting routines, or offering comfort, she approaches each child with kindness and attention to their individual needs. She encourages curiosity and independence while providing gentle, consistent guidance. Just as valuable is the peace of mind she gives parents. Kimberly is dependable, thoughtful, and easy to communicate with. She understands the trust involved in caring for someone’s children and treats that responsibility with tremendous care. Any family would be fortunate to have Kimberly in their lives. I recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone seeking a loving, trustworthy, and dedicated nanny.”

Hello, my name is Alexis but most people call me Alex and I have had over 15 years of experience taking care of animals, children, and a couple seniors to support myself through college. I’ve taken care of one main household for over 13 years and I love their children and animals as if they are my own. At client’s request I am happy to do light housecleaning, cooking, school pick up or drop off, administer medications, and take care of their pets needs as well. I thrive on taking care of the community in a multitude of ways over the years, but taking care of children and animals brings me the most joy.

"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)."
