Lina Marcela $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello I’m Lina a caring, patient, and trustworthy caregiver who loves working with both children and pets. I’m currently a Digital Art & Animation student at Canada College, working toward my goal of earning a bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design. Creativity is a big part of who I am, and I love bringing imagination, play, and positivity into every environment. I’m very responsible and experienced when it comes to caring for kids, including driving them safely to school, activities, or appointments. I’m also a big fan of the outdoors and enjoy taking children or dogs on walks, to parks, or for fun outdoor activities that keep them active and happy. I always create a safe, loving, and calm atmosphere where kids can learn and feel supported, and where pets feel comfortable, relaxed, and well-cared for. Families can count on me for reliability, kindness, and excellent communication. I’m here to make life easier for parents and to give every child and pet the attention, care, and warmth they deserve.

Priyanka $30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Menlo Park, CA

I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy making kids feel safe, seen, and happy. I love those little moments when they finally get a puzzle, when they laugh so hard at a silly story, when they trust you enough to open up. And I love knowing I'm giving parents real peace of mind while they're away. I have 4 years of babysitting experience caring for children ages 2 months to 7years old. I've worked with 3 families regularly on evenings and weekends. My responsibilities included preparing meals and snacks, bedtime routines, bathing, light housekeeping, and planning fun activities like crafts and outdoor games. I'm also comfortable with infants and toddlers.

Hello, my name is Brenda. I am a career nanny with over 20 years of experience caring for children from newborns through school age. I have worked with twins, multiples, nanny shares, and families with up to four children.

"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)."
