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!

Marney $30 per hour for 1 child

I bring over a decade of experience working with children, including many years substituting at Marin Horizon School in Mill Valley—my alma mater and a place that deeply shaped my love of learning and community. As the daughter of a middle school teacher, care, education, and emotional attunement have been woven into my life from an early age. I have extensive hands-on experience with toddlers and young children, and I’m known for creating a warm, calm, and engaging environment where little ones feel safe, seen, and supported. Alongside childcare, I regularly pet sit and genuinely love caring for animals, bringing the same level of attentiveness and affection to every being in my care. I’m a naturally compassionate and nurturing person who finds joy in supporting growth—whether that’s through play, learning, or simply being a steady, present companion. I’m also deeply curious and intellectually engaged: I speak four languages, have lived for several years in Germany and Italy, and hold a Master’s degree in American History. I approach caregiving with both heart and intention, offering a balance of reliability, warmth, and thoughtful presence.

Isabella $27 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Bella, and I have spent the past two years working in early childhood education. I began as a preschool teacher and now also work as an after-school program leader for TK-age children, ages 4 to 5. Growing up in a big Italian family, I have always loved caring for those around me, and that passion naturally grew into working with young children. I especially enjoy working with this age group and creating a safe, nurturing environment where they can learn, play, and grow with confidence. I am very crafty and love doing creative, hands-on projects with children to spark their imagination. I also enjoy spending time outdoors and exploring parks, whether that’s going on little nature walks or playing games outside. As an English major in college, I have a deep love of literature, and reading to children has always been one of my favorite activities. Story time is still the highlight of my day. I would describe myself as happy, lighthearted, and easygoing, and I love creating a joyful, engaging space where children feel comfortable, supported, and excited to learn.

"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."

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)."
