Jackeline $30 per hour for 1 child

Nurturing a child's curiosity and watching them reach new milestones is my greatest passion. With six years of experience 4 years in a daycare, caring for children ages 5-month-old to 3 years old I prioritize creating a patient, creative, and safe environment. I am very comfortable enforcing household rules to ensure consistency for your little one. Whether we are playing outdoor sports or solving puzzles, I love keeping children active and engaged. I hold CPR training and First Aid certifications. I value clear communication and provide regular updates via text, phone calls, or verbal reports at pickup to keep you informed. Because I have a reliable car and love animals, I am happy to assist with school runs or pet-friendly households. I am truly honored to be a positive influence in your child's life and look forward to building a meaningful connection with your family.

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!”

Booked by 2 families in Novato, CA

Hello! My name is Griselda. Many call me Gris or Grizzy for short. I am offering afternoon and weekend childcare as well as care during school breaks(for example: winter, mid-winter, spring and summer break). I have been working with children from a young age and as I grew older, I turned my genuine love for children into a professional occupation. For the last three years, I have been working at a preschool, teaching children from the ages 2-5. Despite working with these ages, I am open to working with children of any age. I am CPR certified and have taken multiple Early Childhood Education courses at COM where I learned how to keep children safe, and how to develop a nurturing environment where they can thrive.

“On time! Great with kids! ”

"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)."
