Booked by 4 families in Martinez, CA

Hi, my name is Kristen, and I'm 25 years old. My experience with children includes working as a special education assistant at preschools and elementary schools since 2018, and nannying occasionally for families. I have a childlike spirit, and love planning fun themed activity days with the kids, arts and crafts, dancing to Disney soundtracks, and going on field trips to parks and museums! I love curling up in cozy corners at the library, where the kids and I can learn about animals, caring for our environment, outer space, and ancient history together! Another big hobby of mine is video and board games, so I would love to have game nights with the kids after they do their homework! :) I was encouraged to nanny because of my mindfulness and gentleness with kids. I care greatly about listening openly to children and their needs, instead of using a strict, disciplinary approach. I am good at soothing intense emotions and handling chaotic situations in a calm, gentle, and compassionate manner. I'm looking forward to meeting you, your kids, and your pets!! Thank you for your time! <3

Hello! I am a proactive, responsible and dedicated nanny, family assistant and household manager. I have 10 plus years of recent professional experience, excellent references, letters of recommendation, and I am ready for my next long term role. I love adventuring with kids or interactive playtime at home. I enjoy going for hikes in nature, walks to the park, library or museums, spotting airplanes, wildlife, flowers, great books and art. I also like playing games and doing arts and crafts, building lego creations & forts, playing with dolls and animals, or reading books with hot cocoa on a rainy day. A simple peek-a-boo session, singing ABC’s, practicing counting or tummy time for the little ones:) I have experience providing support with school drop off/pick up, driving children to and from after school activities, homework assistance, as well as household chores, preparing snacks & meals, doing laundry, running errands, dog walking, traveling with the family and overnight care. In addition, I have experience managing and assisting with household inventory, scheduling appointments and communicating with contractors, housekeepers or caterers, organizing closets and calendars, and managing packing lists and travel preparations. I am discreet and respectful of a family’s privacy when needed and yet I welcome sharing a meal with them when invited. I am flexible enough to calmly transition from meal prep to children to dishes and back to children again:) I am very healthy and live an active lifestyle outside of work. I am close to completing my psychology degree for transfer, with all classes being held asynchronous, which allows me the ability to fully commit to other responsibilities. I plan to stay in the Bay Area as I continue to pursue my higher education. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions. I look forward to connecting with you soon!

Booked by 2 families in Martinez, CA

Decades as a preschool teacher across the SF Bay Área working with ages 0 to 7, focused on Spanish-immersion and play-based care that supports emotional and developmental growth.

Leyla is a true gem. She used to be a daycare teacher and has been our nanny -- both individual and as part of a share -- for the past 9 months. She's been such an attentive and sweet caretaker who sings to the babies, helps with their food prep, and plays with them all day. In addition, she sends detailed summaries of what/how much the babies ate/drank during the day and their nap schedules. She can easily handle two little ones (even taking them to the park!) and is extremely reliable. She's originally from Peru and is also a skilled cook. We miss her already.

Booked by 1 family in Martinez, CA

Hello! I’m Kelcie, a 33 yr old wife and mom to a 2.5yr baby girl. I have been a nanny and family assistant for over 7 years. I currently live in Concord but I grew up in Alameda. Ive worked for multiple nanny agencies and pride myself on being collaborative with families. I’m patient, empathetic and caring. I love getting kids involved in fun activities like at-home DIYs but also make sure to get outside to soak up some vitamin D! In my free time, I love going to Lake Tahoe with my family or traveling to small towns to explore. I love to go camping, being with friends and family, listening to music and reading a good book (The Five People You Meet In Heaven by Mitch Albom, amazing read!). I look forward to meeting you and hope to make your family’s life more convenient!

We have been so impressed with Kelcie! She always arrives on time with a smile on her face and has proven to be reliable, flexible, and honest. It’s refeshing to have a sitter/nanny who has really good common sense, it certainly helps me feel comfortable leaving my kids in her care!

"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)."
