$35 per hour for 1 child

Caring for children has been part of my life since I was young, and it's grown into both a passion and a profession. I bring both an academic foundation — a Bachelor's degree in Human Services from Utah State University, with coursework in Communicative Disorders and Psychology — and 7+ years of hands-on experience to everything I do, giving me a real understanding of how children develop, communicate, and grow at every stage, from infancy through age 13. My time as a Behavioral Technician, supporting children with autism, taught me patience, consistency, and how to truly meet a child where they are. Day to day, I provide attentive, nurturing care: infant routines, meal and snack prep, homework help, school pick-ups and drop-offs, age-appropriate activities, and light housekeeping. I'm CPR/First-Aid/AED certified, have a valid driver's license and reliable vehicle, and I'm looking for a long-term, full-time position through payroll where I can bring both my heart and my training to a family who wants a consistent, trusted caregiver. 🥰 Resume & References available upon request

“Lily has helped as me as a mother’s helper for the last two years for my 3 children ages 3-8. She is warm and caring with our whole family and genuinely loves kids. She goes above and beyond to help me keep the house in order, whether that’s cleaning or helping the kids eat their dinner. Her communication is always open and receptive with our needs and her own. We are beyond blessed to have found someone so genuine and professional!”

Booked by 1 family in Montara, CA

Hi there! I’m CPR certified and an LVN. I’ve cared for children ages 1-7 and am comfortable with diapers, toileting, and daily routines. I love helping families, keeping things organized, and creating a positive, caring environment. I drive my own car and am happy to help around the house with laundry (which I actually enjoy!), dishes, cleaning, and organizing. I’m also comfortable preparing simple breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and snacks. References are available!

“Cindy has been working with us for several months. She is a great communicator, calm, and knowledgeable. Cindy has managed to win over our baby, who has serious separation anxiety. She is awesome with our very outgoing preschooler. She is great at taking initiative and helping around the house. We are so lucky to have had her in our lives and would recommend her without hesitation. If she wasn’t moving, we would have loved to have kept working with her. Thank you, Cindy! ”

Malia $28 per hour for 1 child

Hello everybody! My name is Malia and I graduated with a degree in Family and Consumer Sciences in 2018. I worked at an infant/toddler daycare for a year and a half prior to the daycare closing due to the COVID 19 pandemic. I was then a nanny for 5 1/2 years for the same family who eventually ended up having 3 children during that time period so I have experience watching multiple children from both of those jobs. I took some time off work because I had my own child who is currently 9 months old and I’ve been searching for work, ideally with a family who wouldn’t mind me bringing my daughter seeing as I’m her only source of care at this moment. Along with working with children, I also have experience working with older individuals as well as those who use mobility aids due to my time caring for my father after his stroke where he transitioned from using a wheelchair to now being able to use a walker.

"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)."
