Hi, my name is Jahaira. I am currently a preschool teacher in Palo Alto. I have been teaching there for over 9 years. I love working with children.

Booked by 9 families in Mountain View, CA

Hey, my name is Elia and I’m offering child care services. My current job consists of being a waiter but I want to look for something else, I used to work for a company from the san mateo county caring for adults for about 2 years. The company’s name is IHSS. Since I used to care for kids when I was younger ( taking them to school, babysitting) and raised some of my own this seems like a great opportunity for me. I’m bilingual as I speak both Spanish and English and I would be more than happy to teach your children Spanish when caring for them. I’m a mother of two. Two boys, one 17 and the other one is 7 and I would say i have a pretty good experience with kids. Caring for children is not only something I’m good at but I also enjoy it! I can clean, and run errands when needed. I’m also okay with taking care of pets.

We feel incredibly lucky to have had Elia as part of our family for the past 8 months. From the very beginning, she has been kind, attentive, and deeply engaged with our baby — always playing with her in thoughtful, age-appropriate ways that support her development. With our permission, she has also been teaching our daughter Spanish, and it’s been so exciting to hear her respond to familiar words in both languages. Elia is extremely responsible and always punctual. She’s respectful of our routines and values, and she’s proactive in helping reinforce positive habits around eating, sleeping, and motor skills. When our daughter naps, she kindly offers to help with light housework — without ever needing to be asked — and we so appreciate her initiative and reliability. We’ve also noticed and admired that she’s never distracted or on her phone; her attention is always focused where it matters most. More than anything, Elia truly feels like a part of our family. Our baby absolutely lights up when she sees her. We trust her completely and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a nurturing, trustworthy, and experienced caregiver.

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!

Booked by 2 families in Mountain View, CA

Hi, I’m Andreina, a 36 years old caregiver based in Redwood City with a genuine passion for supporting families in their daily lives. I bring over three years of hands on experience working with children of different age groups, from toddlers to teens, always prioritizing structure, clear communication and a positive atmosphere. One of my favorite things is guiding children to develop their intuition, helping them go beyond what their eyes can see and trust what they feel inside. I love incorporating movement and dance into our time together, as a way to express emotions, shift energy and bring joy into everyday moments. Beyond childcare, I have solid experience in pet care, animal behavior and training. I have a natural ability to read energy and communicate with animals on a deeper level, which allows me to truly understand their needs and keep them calm and balanced. I’m detail-oriented, dependable and grounded in values like healthy living and mindfulness. I believe that truly caring for a family means showing up with integrity every single day. Whether you need help with your little ones, your pets or household tasks, I’m here to make your life a little easier. Let’s connect!

Andreina helped my son improve his communication at home, she's very thoughful and helpful lady... She's just another member of our family..!! ♥️🍃

Booked by 8 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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

"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)."
