Booked by 2 families in Menlo Park, CA

Hi Families, I am currently a nanny for 3 adorable kids Monday through Friday. I was an au pair for 3 years and a nanny for almost 2 years. I love to work with babies, toddlers and kids. I would describe myself as warm and creative. My time with your kids would be full of playing, reading books, coloring, build little projects etc. Last but not less important I speak Spanish so I try to teach the kids songs, the numbers or things around the house.

Kimberly $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Kimberly! I'm an 18 year old college student currently studying to become a nurse! A little about me: I love painting, being in nature, listening to music, and taking walks in the park. I’ve been babysitting for years it all began when I was 12, caring for my younger cousins and taking them to soccer practice. Through that, I met other families who needed help, which gave me the opportunity to work with many wonderful kids! I also have experience with older children, especially during high school when I worked as a teacher’s assistant. Babysitting is something I genuinely enjoy because I love watching kids grow and develop into their own little selves. It’s a joy to be part of that journey, and I hope to continue making a positive impact in the lives of the families I work with! I currently work at Starbucks, but I'm looking for a full-time babysitting position that allows me to prioritize school once it starts on January 12. Right now, my availability is wide open after 12 PM (I work 3:30 AM – 12 PM), but I’m willing to leave my current job if I find the right full-time opportunity. Starting in January, my availability will change to part-time to accommodate my school schedule. If you're interested or would like to know more, feel free to reach out! Thank you, and have a wonderful day!

"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)."
