Hi, I’m Ping! I have over 8 years of childcare experience caring for children from 7 months to 11 years old, including one year as a Montessori teacher. I love creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn through play. I enjoy planning arts and crafts, reading, singing, outdoor adventures, practical life activities, and age-appropriate learning experiences that build confidence and independence. I also prepare healthy meals, support consistent routines, and can teach basic Mandarin through songs and everyday conversation.

Booked by 43 families in Mountain View, CA

With 19 years of experience in education, I bring a wealth of knowledge, leadership, and genuine passion to every family I work with. Throughout my career, I have taught 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grades and have served in school leadership roles. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of child development, learning, behavior, and how to create environments where children feel safe, supported, and successful. In addition to my professional career in education, I have provided babysitting and nanny services for more than 25 years. I have extensive experience caring for children from newborns through teenagers and am comfortable adapting to the unique needs of every age and stage. Excellent references are available upon request. Although my professional career has been in education and school leadership, I have continued providing childcare throughout the years because I truly enjoy working with children and supporting families. As I search for my next long-term leadership opportunity, I am excited to dedicate more of my time to caring for children—something that has always been one of the most rewarding parts of my life. Over the years, many of the children I've cared for have described me as "firm, fair, and fun"—and I truly believe all three can exist together. Parents have affectionately referred to me as the local "Super Nanny" and even "The Baby Whisperer," compliments that I cherish because they reflect the trust families place in me. My philosophy is simple: children thrive when they are loved, respected, and held to high expectations. I encourage kindness, good manners, personal responsibility, and respect for both others and their environment. I believe children should spend time outdoors, use their imagination, solve problems, and learn to work cooperatively with others—including their siblings. I create a warm, structured environment where children feel safe, capable, and confident while having plenty of fun along the way. Whether your family is looking for an occasional date-night sitter, a dependable nanny, homework support, or someone who can confidently care for multiple children, my goal is always the same: to provide exceptional care while giving parents complete peace of mind. I strive to become a trusted extension of your family and someone your children are excited to see each time I walk through the door.

“Heidi is amazing with the kids! Our kids keep asking for her to come back. 6 stars!”

Booked by 20 families in Mountain View, CA

Hello 😊! My name is Daniela, I am a 2nd year college student, focusing my studies on Child Development, Psychology, & Sociology. I am extremely passionate about the route I am taking, in terms of my education & the work I do within the elementary school I work in & the wonderful families I provide babysitting/nanny services to 🥰! I have over seven years of experience, both professional and personal, working with children, ranging from infants to teenagers. I’ve worked in school settings, nannied for multiple families, provided casual babysitting for date nights, and have also helped as a mother’s helper. My responsibilities have included supervising activities, helping with homework, preparing meals, engaging in crafts, supporting routines, and driving children to and from school or activities. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help with light cleaning, meal prep, organizing, and running errands. I am CPR/First Aide certified, have a valid driver’s license, and have my own reliable vehicle; all of which allow me to be prepared in case of any emergencies or any general errands at hand. I truly enjoy working with children and supporting families in any way I can. I’d love to speak more about how I can best help you and your family!

“Daniela is great! She hit it off with our 3 year old son immediately - they had a fantastic time playing together! She also helped care for my 4 month old baby while our son was napping. She brings lots of knowledge and a really great spirit to her caregiving. We’ll definitely have her back!”

Booked by 9 families in Mountain View, CA

Hello families! My name is Vanessa, and I currently live in Cupertino, California. I have experience caring for children of different ages, from newborns and infants to toddlers, school-age children, and teenagers. My approach is warm, patient, and respectful. I enjoy creating a safe, loving, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to learn. I have experience with daily routines such as feeding, diaper changes, naps, playtime, reading, outdoor activities, bedtime, and age appropriate learning activities. I also like to support children’s independence, curiosity, emotional development, and confidence through gentle guidance and Montessori inspired activities. I speak both Spanish and English, which allows me to communicate with families from different backgrounds and also support children in a bilingual environment. I am fully vaccinated, a non-smoker, and I have a clean driving record. I am also happy to help with light household tasks related to the children, simple meal preparation, transportation, and keeping their spaces organized. In addition to childcare, I have experience supporting elderly family members, including helping with meals, transportation to appointments, companionship, and daily routines. This experience has helped me become even more responsible, patient, attentive, and compassionate in the way I care for others. I also volunteer at my local church in Palo Alto, where I help with childcare during events and services. In my free time, I enjoy exercising, yoga, listen podcasts, Pilates, and continuing to learn about child development and personal growth. I truly enjoy working with children and building relationships based on trust, respect, kindness, and communication. I would love the opportunity to support your family and contribute to your child’s well-being, development, and happiness.

“Vanessa cared for my daughter Aaliyah (2½) this summer while she was off from preschool. She sat for us first on July 2 and 3, 2026 from 8:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., and then again on August 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. She was wonderful every single day. Vanessa didn't just supervise. She played with my daughter and filled her days. She took Aaliyah swimming at the big pool and splashed around with her in the backyard baby pool, took her to the park more than once, played dress-up, danced with her to music, and colored with sidewalk chalk on the patio. I work from home and when I got off work, Aaliyah was happy, worn out in the best way, and asking when Miss Vanessa was coming back. What stood out most was her patience. Toddlers are unpredictable, and Vanessa never lost her warmth. She is endlessly sweet, calm, and attentive. My daughter adores her. She was also a wonderful presence with my extended family. My elderly parents were often around during her shifts and joined in on outings with her and Aaliyah, and they love her too. Vanessa is respectful, easy to communicate with, and completely reliable. She showed up on time, was flexible when plans shifted, and always kept me in the loop about how the day went. Vanessa is thoughtful, dependable, and genuinely kind, and she treated my daughter like family. Any family would be lucky to have her. I will keep asking her to babysit on preschool vacation days, and I'd recommend her to anyone.”

"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)."
