Alana $29 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Alana, a dependable and compassionate caregiver based in Rohnert Park. I have several years of professional experience in customer service, healthcare, and hospitality, where I’ve developed strong communication, organization, and problem-solving skills. I have worked in healthcare the last 2 years and have found my passion always based in caring for others. With that I grew up with my own god mother having a day care and helping care for the kids ranging from 2-17+. I have also baby sat for several neighbors over the years and can provide reference’s ranging for children 2-17+. I’m patient, attentive, and calm under pressure, and I genuinely enjoy creating a safe, positive environment for children. I’m happy to help with playtime, homework, meal preparation, bedtime routines, light housekeeping, and caring for pets if needed. I understand the importance of reliability and clear communication with parents, and I always strive to make families feel comfortable and confident while they’re away. Whether you need an occasional date-night sitter or regular childcare, I’d love the opportunity to support your family.

Hi there! My name is Beeta, I’ve been working as an outdoor teacher on and off for the last few years and am looking to transition out in order to go back for a masters program :) I have extensive background working with kids; specifically was working with 3-5 year olds as a teacher, but have worked with and been a caretaker for children under 12 for over a decade. I am comfortable working with all ages babies included. I am a certified clinical herbalist, naturalist, and artist (painting, play guitar), and experienced backcountry hiker. I am very active and can even teach a thing or two about plants and art :) I love animals and have no issue caretaking for a dog or cats too and helping the family out! I have a clean driving record and can fit two children in my car, or drive yours if that’s an option! Looking for ~25th/week and am also open to random days here and there. Let’s chat! Look forward to meeting you!

"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)."
