Hii my name is Mckayla! I am offering child care and any household services needed. I absolutely love being a nanny as I’ve been a one for the last 5 years + helping raise my nieces and nephews for the last 6 years! I have experience with kids from newborn to 10 year olds and kids with disabilities. I’ve always taken care of multiple kids at once whether that is two kids or four at a time. I love being outdoors, doing arts and crafts, and going on adventures. I’m comfortable with all animals. I have my own car with a valid licenses!

Booked by 5 families in Novato, CA

Hi my name is Victoria and I’m a recent graduate from San Diego State. I grew up going with my mom watching over the kids she took care of and have since have babysat (including dog sitting & house sitting) on my own over the years. After I graduated high school, I watched over one of my teachers kids and have been a counselor and director at an after school program in Terra Linda (2[removed]) where we would come up with crafts and play lots of games! I also still maintain a relationship and caregiving to a family I’ve met through the after school program and have seen their kids grow up over the last four years. I’m bilingual (Spanish) and CPR certified and I worked primarily with toddlers and children.

Victoria was fantastic! Great energy and the kids really liked her.

Booked by 2 families in Novato, CA

Hello there! I'm a recent graduate from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, where I majored in Food Science. I've returned to my hometown of Marin and will be here for the foreseeable future. Kids and animals hold a special place in my heart, and I've been babysitting since I was 12 years old. With years of experience, I've learned how to create a safe and nurturing environment for children of all ages. I love the outdoors, whether it's a trip to the park, a nature walk, or a fun outdoor game, I'll make sure your children are entertained! One of the advantages of my current situation is my highly flexible schedule. I'm here to accommodate your needs and ensure a stress-free experience for you and your family. I am looking forward to whatever opportunities arise! Feel free to reach out at any time!

On time, very sweet and calm. Great with our 15 month old daughter. She doesn't always warm up to sitters and was immediately happy with Mia. Will definitely hire her again!

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
