Booked by 3 families in Mill Valley, CA

Hi, my name is Maria Lopez. I’m 27 years old and I have several years of experience caring for children and assisting older adults. I’m a responsible, patient, and trustworthy person who truly enjoys helping others and creating a safe, warm environment. I recently obtained my nursing license and I’m currently in the process of transferring it to the state of California. During this time, I’m looking for a flexible nanny or caregiver position that allows me to continue with my student schedule, while supporting a family with dedication, respect, and professionalism. I would love the opportunity to become a reliable and caring part of your household.

“Maria was a pleasure to work with! She helped me with various things around the house, including laundry, dishes, and tidying up. She was prompt, hardworking, and did a great job. I will definitely have her back again!”

Hi! My name is Kayla, and I’m a proud mother of two girls. I’m born and raised in Marin County. As a Mexican and Guatemalan American, I value creating a caring, respectful, and family-oriented environment for children. Childcare has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my mom worked as a nanny and often brought me along, giving me firsthand experience in the nanny and childcare setting from a young age. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for children ranging from 6 months to 4 years old. I love spending quality time with kids by reading books, going on walks, visiting the park, and encouraging fun, age-appropriate activities that help them learn and grow. I’ve also assisted with transporting children to and from activities such as story time, music classes, gymnastics, and appointments. In addition to childcare, I have experience providing care for individuals with disabilities, which has strengthened my patience, compassion, and ability to adapt to different needs. I’m also happy to help with light housekeeping, meal preparation, and keeping your home organized while ensuring your children are safe, happy, and well cared for.

“Kayla was a wonderful babysitter and nanny to our son, and we’d highly recommend her. He genuinely loved spending time with her. She’s come to care for him many times, and she’s extremely patient and great with our 20-month-old. What stood out most was how she handled a day when he wasn’t feeling well. She comforted him, sang to him, and took really attentive, loving care of him throughout. That kind of patience and warmth is exactly what you hope for in someone watching your child. We’d happily have her back anytime.”

I am a Child Development graduate with over 10 years of hands-on experience working with children. I spent 5 years as a teacher and the past 5 years as a full-time nanny, caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I have training in both the Montessori and Reggio Emilia approaches, and I enjoy supporting children’s independence, curiosity, and creativity through child-led, age-appropriate activities. I am a warm, patient, and reliable caregiver who truly values building a strong, trusting relationship with both children and families. I pay close attention to each child’s emotional and developmental needs and believe that children thrive best in a calm, respectful, and nurturing environment. I love incorporating play, outdoor time, hands-on learning, and daily routines that help children feel secure and confident. Clear communication with parents and consistency in care are very important to me.

Hi there! I’m a warm, reliable, and experienced nanny with over 8 years of childcare experience. I’m currently working in a nanny share for infants/toddlers in San Francisco and I’m open to part-time or full-time opportunities. My background includes working with children from birth to age three, with a focus on early intervention. I also have experience supporting children with special needs from infancy through the teenage years. Over the years, I’ve worked with families throughout SF, including the Richmond, Lower Haight, and Sunset neighborhoods, as well as in Portland through the agency A Brilliant Nanny. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Healthcare Communication, which supports my strong communication and caregiving skills. I love being active with the kids I care for, especially playing outdoors and encouraging movement and exploration. Phone number is[removed]

“Crystal is warm, friendly, assertive while respectful, and professional. My 19-month-old toddler took to her quickly and they could interact right away—always a great sign! Thank you so much for spending the morning with us, Crystal!”

"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)."
