Bianca Novato
$30 per hour for 1 child

Caring and responsible nanny with over 6 years of experience, including working in a nanny share, caring for multiple children at the same time, including older kids. I enjoy being outdoors and love taking children to different playgrounds, organizing playdates, and planning age-appropriate activities that keep them engaged and happy. I'm comfortable handling all child-related tasks, including children's laundry, washing bottles, and keeping their spaces clean and organized. I also have experience driving children to activities and outings, always prioritizing safety. I focus on creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment where children can learn, play, and feel comfortable. If you're interested, I would be happy to chat and discuss how I can support your family.

Booked by 1 family in Novato, CA

Hello! My name is Giovanna, and I currently work in childcare. I have experience with babies, toddlers, and children up to 10 years old. I’m patient, responsible, and truly enjoy engaging with kids through reading, playing, drawing, and other creative activities. At the moment, I take care of two children — one 2 years old and the other 4 years old — so I’m very comfortable with all daily childcare tasks. This includes preparing and serving meals, changing diapers, helping with potty training, bathing, getting them dressed, playing, reading books, planning creative activities, going outside, and following nap and bedtime routines. I always follow the parents’ instructions and respect each family’s routine. I would be happy to support your family and care for your children with attention and dedication. I’m new to this platform, so I don’t have reviews yet, but I’m looking for an opportunity to show my work and build trust. I can also provide references upon request. In addition, I’m available for babysitting for special events, date nights, or occasional needs. Thank you, and I hope to hear from you soon!

Giovanna was great with my kiddos! She was immediately able to win over my younger one and my kids enjoyed playing games and building forts with her. We’ll definitely have her back!

Hi my name is Tania and I am 24 years old. I am a recent college graduate, born and raised in Marin County. I love to sew, go to the beach, and hiking in my free time.

Ashley Novato
$26 per hour for 1 child

I come from a big family with kids of all ages, including a baby sister, so caring for little ones has always been a natural part of my life. I’m comfortable with everything from playing games and doing crafts to homework help, dinner, and bedtime routines. Being around so many different personalities has made me patient, flexible, and really tuned in to what each child needs. I recently graduated from nursing school, which has strengthened my sense of responsibility and safety awareness, but at my core I’m very nurturing and hands-on. I stay calm under pressure, and I take the trust families place in me very seriously. Kids tend to warm up to me quickly because I’m playful and engaging, but I also know how to maintain structure and routines so parents feel comfortable. I’m happy to help with light cleaning, meal prep, organizing, and caring for pets as well. I’m dependable, communicative, and I genuinely care about creating a safe, positive environment where kids feel supported and have fun.

Cristina Novato
$28 per hour for 1 child

My name is Cristina! I love working with kids as I have a family of my own, I have a 9y/o and a 5y/o, they are very energetic boys. I had been a nanny for other people before and I’ve help babysit other families as well. I enjoy spending time with kids as I myself want a bigger family and more siblings for my kiddos. I create an environment where kids can have fun while putting safety first. I am bilingual so I speak Spanish if you need! I am a very friendly and sociable person, I respect others including kids as they also deserve space and boundaries. I hope I can help you take cares of the ones you love and care about! 😊

"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
