Zulema $30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in New Almaden, CA

Hello- My name is Zulema, I am 43 yrs old, married for 22 years and a mother of two (ages 20 and 16). I’m an experienced early childhood educator and parent coach with over 20 years of experience supporting children and families in preschool, early intervention, school-based, and family-service settings. I hold a Master’s degree in Child and Adolescent Developmental Psychology and am passionate about creating nurturing, engaging, and developmentally appropriate experiences for children. My approach to caregiving is warm, patient, and play-based. I enjoy helping children learn through everyday activities, imaginative play, books, art, music, outdoor time, and age-appropriate routines. I understand the importance of supporting children’s social-emotional development, communication, independence, and confidence while also making sure they feel safe, understood, and cared for. I have experience working with children from early childhood through school-age years, including children with developmental delays. In my previous roles, I have collaborated with families, educators, counselors, social workers, and behavioral support professionals. I am comfortable using positive guidance, clear routines, visual supports and calming strategies tailored to each child’s individual needs. As a sitter, I value open communication with parents and will always respect your family’s routines, preferences, and parenting style. I can provide updates about your child’s activities, mood, meals, sleep, play, and any important moments during my time with them. I am also bilingual in English and Spanish and would be happy to support Spanish language exposure if that is meaningful for your family. I am looking for occasional nanny and babysitting opportunities where I can provide dependable, attentive, and compassionate care. Whether you need support for a date night, weekend plans, appointments, special events, or an occasional extra set of hands, I would love to help create a positive and comfortable experience for your child and peace of mind for you.

Sydney $40 per hour for 1 child

✨ Hi Families! My name is Sydney, and I’m a career nanny and family assistant with over 5 years of experience caring for children from infancy through school age. I’m currently represented through a staffing agency as I search for my next long-term family fit, but I’m also here on UrbanSitter because I genuinely love connecting with families and helping wherever I can in the meantime. I would describe myself as calm, warm, organized, and very hands-on. I love creating a home environment where kids feel safe, understood, and comfortable being themselves. Whether that’s helping with routines, planning fun activities, getting outside, helping with homework, or simply being an extra steady support for busy parents, I truly enjoy being someone families can rely on. Along with childcare, I’m happy to help with family assistant style tasks like meal prep, laundry, organization, errands, and keeping things running smoothly day-to-day. I’ve worked in long-term, travel, and rotational roles, so I’m very adaptable and comfortable in busy households. Outside of work, I love mountain biking, swimming, long-distance running, and rock climbing, and I naturally bring a very active and positive energy into my work with kids. 🤍 Right now I’m mainly looking for my next long-term fit, but I’m also open to temporary help, date nights, weekends, and short-term support for families who need an extra hand.

"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

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)."
