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!

$38 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Martinez, CA

Hello! I am a warm, responsible, and respectful 35-year-old mother of two with over 10 years of professional childcare experience. I specialize in working with children from newborn babies up to 8 years old, and I have extensive experience successfully managing nanny shares with two different families. As a parent myself, I prioritize open, proactive communication with parents regarding their babies' developments, daily routines, or any concerns. My ultimate goal is to help your children hit their milestones and develop excellent habits both inside and outside the home. I love keeping kids active and curious by taking them out on nature walks, visiting different parks to build social skills, and going on fun, educational outings to the zoo or museums. I speak both English and Spanish fluently, am a non-smoker, and am completely comfortable with pets. I am fully CPR certified, have all my vaccines up to date, and have excellent references available upon request. I look forward to supporting your family!

"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)."
