Janelle $27 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Janelle. I’m outgoing, caring, and truly love working with children. During the school year, I work with children with special needs, which has taught me patience, compassion, and the importance of creating a safe and supportive environment where every child can thrive. I enjoy fitness, staying active, reading, being outdoors, and bringing that same energy into childcare through crafts, outdoor play, games, reading, and fun learning activities. I’m dependable, organized, and happy to help with homework, meal and snack preparation, and keeping children’s spaces tidy. My goal is to make every child feel safe, encouraged, and cared for while giving parents peace of mind knowing their little ones are in good hands. I would love the opportunity to become a trusted part of your family’s daily routine!

Hi! My name is Claudia and I am a 29-year-old who has lived in the Bay Area, Hungary and Norway the past few years working and earning my master's degree. I am currently seeking babysitting opportunities until mid-July when I will start my PhD program! I have been a babysitter since I took a community babysitter course at the age of 14! Since then I have gained extensive childcare experience, including a year of full-time work as an assistant kindergarten teacher in Budapest for 3-4 year-olds. Beyond this I have experience as a babysitter and nanny for children from 3 months - 12 years old, and as a private English tutor. I have always loved to work with families and feel so lucky to have had the chance to have so many lovely children in my life which is why I would like to continue this work! I speak fluent Hungarian and have some elementary Norwegian language, and studied French for 5 years. I was raised with family cats, dogs, and fish and I am also happy to assist in pet care if needed!

"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)."
