Booked by 4 families in Menlo Park, CA

Hello, my name is Marisa. I currently run my own petsitting & dog walking business while nannying part time. I have over 15 years of experience babysitting and nannying, and I enjoy working with children of all ages! I have both personal and professional experience working with children who are neurodivergent, including children on the ASD spectrum and with ADHD. I am patient, caring, and compassionate, and I work well with parents/caregivers to meet the specific needs of their family! I am also skilled in managing school pick-up and drop-off routines for multiple children. In my free time I enjoy hanging out with my friends and pets, going to concerts, going to the movie theater to watch oldies, and playing the claw machines. Please message me to double check availability, as my calendar may not always be up to date. Cancellation Policy: If bookings are cancelled by the parent/caregiver within 24 hours of the start time of the booking, I charge a fee of 50% of the total booking to help offset the loss of wages on short notice.

Marisa was punctual, responsive and very sweet towards my son! We will be asking for her help again!

Hi! I’m Elena. I am a reliable and caring caregiver who enjoys working with kids and creating a safe, positive environment. I’m also great with pets and happy to help with light housekeeping, cooking, and keeping things organized. I can assist with elderly care as well, offering patient and respectful support. I’m friendly, responsible, and easy to communicate with. I’d love to help make your daily routine easier!

Elena is truly the best of the best when it comes to babysitters! My daughter absolutely loved her from the get-go. Elena has a natural talent for connecting with children and making them feel completely at ease. She's attentive, engaging, and genuinely caring. We've never felt more confident leaving our daughter in someone else's care. Elena goes above and beyond to ensure that every moment is enjoyable and enriching for the kids. Highly recommend her to any parent looking for a top-notch sitter!

"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

"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)."
