Hi! My name is Kimberlin, and I am a caring, responsible, and dependable caregiver based in Foster City. I provide babysitting, pet care, and companion care for seniors. I truly enjoy helping others and creating a safe, positive, and comfortable environment for every family I work with. I am bilingual in English and Spanish, and I love keeping children engaged through reading, arts and crafts, games, outdoor activities, and creative play. I am also happy to help with simple meal preparation, bedtime routines, and light household tasks related to childcare. In addition to childcare, I have extensive experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities. I also have personal experience caring for elderly family members, which has taught me patience, compassion, and the importance of treating everyone with kindness and respect. I understand that trust is everything when inviting someone into your home, and I always strive to provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care. I look forward to meeting your family!

Fernanda $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! 💛 My name is Maria Fernanda, but you can call me Mafe 😊 I am 20 years old and originally from Colombia. I speak Spanish and I am currently improving my English. I can understand and communicate basic needs, and I am always learning and improving every day. I am a caring, patient, and responsible person who truly enjoys helping others and creating a safe, positive, and respectful environment. I am currently offering services in childcare, pet care, senior care, and light household support, and I am always willing to adapt to each family’s unique needs and routines. While I am new to professional experience, I have developed strong caregiving skills through personal experience supporting family members and being around children. This helped me discover how much I genuinely enjoy caring for others, especially children, by creating a calm, loving, and safe space where they can feel comfortable, happy, and supported. I enjoy spending quality time with kids through activities such as playing, reading, drawing, and going on walks. I am attentive and focused on safety at all times. I am also comfortable caring for pets, including feeding, walking, and playing with them, making sure they feel loved and well cared for. In addition, I am open to supporting seniors with companionship and daily routines, offering non-medical assistance such as light cooking, organization, and small errands. I am happy to help with light household tasks like cleaning, organizing, laundry, and simple meal preparation. I am a non-smoker, pet-friendly, reliable, and always willing to learn and follow instructions carefully. I have flexible availability, including weekdays and weekends, and I am open to trial days to ensure a great fit for everyone. Thank you so much, and I hope to connect with your family soon!

Hello! My name is Keitty, and I’ve been working as a nanny since I was 15 years old — that’s 9 wonderful years of experience caring for children! I hold a degree in Physical Education and have strong knowledge in child development. I have experience working both live-in and live-out, and I’ve cared for little ones from 6 months to 7 years old. I also worked as a PE teacher with children and teens from 2 to 17 years old. I’m active, patient, and truly passionate about helping kids grow, learn, and have fun in a safe environment. In addition to childcare, I have great experience as a family assistant, supporting families with organization, routines, errands, and light household tasks. I also have amazing references to share from both nanny and family assistant positions. I’m a confident driver and always happy to help wherever needed. I’d love to connect and learn more about 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."

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)."
