Hello, My name is Leslie and I am new to Urban Sitters but from the East Bay, Moraga and now living in Terra Linda. I have many years of experience with infants, toddlers, children and the elderly.

Professional Childcare Provider- House Manager I have more than 25 years of professional childcare/house management experience providing care to families including multiple children ranging from newborn to teenagers. I am passionate about helping navigate the early years of life safely and with love. I encourage and motivate through personalized activities including any and all sports, art projects, exploring nature, playtime and socializing. My favorite thing to do is to read to kids- I’ve spent my own money buying books for the kids I’ve looked after. Naturally your child is always my priority, but I am happy to assist in any way that will help make your life easier. From preparing simple meals consistent with your child's nutritional needs, to maintaining the house while the children are napping or at school and that includes: laundry, light cleaning and cooking. The only thing I won’t do is clean bathrooms and breakdown boxes for recycling. I’m also flexible about overtime and date night hours. Most days with the families I worked for consisted of a lot of multitasking which I’m excellent at. I’m also extremely clean and organized. I am intelligent, Healthy, Energetic, Outgoing, Reliable, Punctual and a Non- smoker.

Petaluma
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Magali. I have many years of experience as a nanny. I'm looking for one or two families to care for. It could be part-time. I live in Petaluma. If you're interested, I can send you my portfolio. Thank you.

Magali cared for our daughter from age 6 months all the way until 3.5 (Aug 2022-Aug 2025). During those 3 years she was such a blessing to our family and instrumental in providing a loving and stable environment for her and us. She also cared for our older daughter occasionally after school, during the summer and other school breaks. Magali was dependable, reliable and someone we could always count on. She is warm, calm, loving and good hearted. She cared for our daughter as if she was one of her own, with so much love. Magali took her to ballet, gymnastics, the library, music classes, multi cultural events and many parks over the 3 years. We would recommend her to any family looking for care and I’d be happy to speak directly to those who are interested.

Hello, my name is Analy Ramos. I am an experienced and dedicated childcare provider with several years of hands-on experience caring for children from the newborn stage through toddlerhood, beginning at the age of 15. I genuinely enjoy supporting children’s growth and development in a safe, nurturing environment. I love spending time outdoors, going on walks, and engaging children in enriching activities. I also enjoy teaching foundational skills such as reading and writing, and I would be happy to introduce basic Spanish if desired. In addition to childcare, I can assist with light housekeeping to help maintain a clean and organized home. I am also comfortable caring for pets. I am a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and currently pursuing a nursing degree, with the goal of working in pediatrics. Caring for children is not only my passion but also aligns closely with my professional aspirations. Above all, I strive to provide families with peace of mind by ensuring their children are safe, supported, and well cared for

Analy arrived on time for our interview. She was engaging with our daughter and very sweet!

"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
