$35 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 4 families in Los Altos, CA

Hello, My name is Anjali, I am 26 years old. I have been a nanny for the last 6 years for many amazing families. I was recently an Au Pair for a wonderful family in palo alto, but they have now moved away. I looking to pick up some part time work and be a helping hand to the right family :). I love spending time with kids and have always loved children. I’ve babysat since the age 15. It has led me to become extremely comfortable with children of all ages. I have a safe reliable vehicle. Outside of babysitting and nannying, I am currently perusing a career in law and recently graduated college with my BS in justice studies. I’m very responsive and find it easiest to communicate with parents over text. Feel free to reach out :)

Syna $32 per hour for 1 child

I truly love being a nanny because I find it incredibly rewarding to be a part of a child's world and to support their growth. There's nothing like seeing a child's face light up when they finally master a puzzle, learn a new word, or show kindness to a sibling. I love building a trusting, one-on-one relationship where I can provide not just care, but also consistency, encouragement, and fun. To me, it's a privilege to help nurture curious, confident, and kind little people, and to be a reliable support for the whole. First and foremost, I am certified in Pediatric CPR and First Aid (mention if it's current). I also have training in infant safe sleep practices and child nutrition. In terms of practical skills, I'm very adept at creating age-appropriate learning activities, positive discipline techniques, and managing multiple children's schedules. I'm also a strong and clear communicator-I believe in providing detailed daily logs for parents and discussing any concerns openly. I'm patient, creative, and highly adaptable, which helps me connect with children and handle the unexpected moments.

"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)."
