Sabrina $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Sabrina, and I have many years of experience caring for children in both professional and personal settings. I studied Child Development at COM and earned my BS in Kinesiology, which has given me a strong understanding of child development, movement, wellness, and the importance of keeping kids active in healthy and engaging ways. For 7 years, I've worked as a Lead Camp Counselor at Camp Coelho through the Epilepsy Foundation of Northern California, where I support and care for children with special needs in a safe, encouraging camp environment. I also worked as an alumni staff member with Marin Horizons After-School Center, helping create a positive and supportive space for children after school. In addition to my professional experience, I’ve been babysitting for local families in Mill Valley since I was a teenager. I genuinely love caregiving because I enjoy building trust with families and creating an environment where children feel safe, understood, and cared for. With my background in kinesiology, I also love incorporating fun activities, movement, and creativity into children’s routines to help keep them engaged and active. A little about me personally — I’m a creative and compassionate person who loves animals, art, gaming, and spending time outdoors. I value kindness, communication, and making meaningful connections with the families I work with.

Lily $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Lily and I am an 18 year old incoming freshman at Cal Poly SLO. I love working with kids, as I spent my senior year of high school working at a local preschool and dedicating my senior project to studying child psychology. I also am happy to do any errands or other household tasks, and have lots of experience with pets so I am more than happy to work for families with pets. I am also able to cook, clean, drive to any activities, etc.

Booked by 1 family in Mill Valley, CA

Hi! My name is Eleri and I am a rising junior at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD. I am a Division 1 lacrosse player there, studying psychology with a triple minor in Accounting, Entrepreneurship & Management, and Marketing & Communications. I grew up in San Francisco all my life, and recently moved to Corte Madera my senior year of high school at St. Ignatius College Preparatory. I will be living in the Bay Area for the duration of my summer break (June-September). Throughout high school, I was an avid babysitter, working upwards of twice per week for different families. I continue to babysit in Baltimore when I am available. I am also a private lacrosse coach, working with young children to mentor and teach them the fundamental skills of lacrosse. I love caregiving because I enjoy channeling my inner child! I love to play outdoors, cook new recipes (especially in my college dorm!), and turn off the screens to enjoy the life around me. A fun fact about me is that I love all animals-- you can find me "adopting" a dog for the day in Baltimore to take them on long walks in the park or Starbucks for an occasional pup-cup.

Flavia $40 per hour for 1 child

I have up to five years of experience as a nanny, caring for children from newborns to early childhood. Families describe me as nurturing, patient, and incredibly reliable. I naturally create a calm, safe, and loving environment where children feel understood and cared for. I pay close attention to the little details—routines, feeding cues, and emotional needs—and I always show up with kindness and respect for each family’s unique style. In addition to my nanny experience, I bring specialized knowledge as a Newborn Care Specialist. I am a certified postpartum doula and have worked in this role for about two years, supporting babies from their very first day of life. I love helping new parents adjust to their newborn’s needs, guiding them through feeding, soothing, routines, and the emotional transition of welcoming a new baby. My goal is always to support families with compassion, confidence, and gentle, attentive care during this precious stage. I would be more than happy to help you and your family and be part of your kiddos’ growth, care, and daily routine.

"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)."
