Oakland
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 15 families in Novato, CA

My name is Rosey, and I have two years of experience working as an Au Pair, where I developed a strong passion for caring for children. My responsibilities included driving children to and from school and activities, preparing breakfast, lunch, and dinner, planning engaging daily activities, and assisting with bath time and bedtime routines. In addition to childcare, I have experience working as a household assistant. I am skilled in cooking, cleaning, and running household errands, and I take pride in keeping an organized and comfortable home environment. I am also comfortable providing care for seniors. I have firsthand experience caring for my grandparents, assisting them with daily activities and offering companionship and support.

Rosey is fantastic! Our little ones were completely captivated by her and even tried to follow her home. We look forward to having Rosey back again in the future (if we are lucky enough to find her available again).

My name is Claudia and I am 35 years old. I was born and raised in Colombia.While I was in Colombia free I took care of my little cousins in my free time. I would bathe them, feed them and played with them. Some weekends after school, I took care of my neighbors kids while they were at work. I would help on their homework, and also on school projects. We would do little arts and crafts activities once a week. I have experience with twins, triplets. I am currently taking care of 2 years old twins during the week, until middle on November. I'm looking for something full time over the week for starting the next month and weekends.I'm available .I can offer Spanish lessons to the children without any hassle.

"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."

"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
