Booked by 10 families in Orinda, CA

Hello, my name is Júlia. It's a pleasure to meet you! I have a background as a former Au Pair and I'm excited to begin my journey as a college student. My experience has involved providing full-time care to newborns and toddlers, both as an Au Pair and back in my home country of Brazil, where I worked in a daycare and looked after my cousins. I am often described as responsible, patient, sweet, and calm. Interacting with children brings me immense joy, whether it's playing, engaging in arts and crafts, going for walks, or simply making sure they have a great time. In addition to my passion for child care, I have always loved animals. In Brazil, I pursued my studies in veterinary medicine because I find great fulfillment in taking care of animals. If you have any pets, I would be more than happy to extend my care to them as well! I’m so looking forward to meet you! Julia

Julia cleaned our apartment thoroughly. Highly recommend and would book her again if we need cleaning services!

Booked by 60 families in Orinda, CA

Hi, my name is Amber I graduated from Cal State East Bay. I majored in nursing. Now I am a Home health Nurse. I am 26 years old. I offer senior care and child services. I have been a caregiver for seniors for the past 5 years. I do companionship, bathing, feeding, appointments, grocery runs. I have been a nanny on and off for the past 6 years. I hope to work with kids in the near future in the medical field, so it’s been a great experience working with kids and just seeing how to react around them and how kids are and how patient we have to be when we are around them and they could teach you so many things and I love working with kids. I am a very outdoors person. I love hiking and I also love to read. I also speak 5 languages.

Ambar was amazing with my baby girl. She arrived earlier than scheduled time, was very professional and respectful. Baby was very calm and happy with Ambar. Throughout the time Ambar was singing to her, reading to her and playing with her. I would hire Ambar again in a heartbeat!

I love working with kids, and pets! Helping kids with their development, teaching them new things, or just having a good time and a lot of laughter. I’m trustworthy, thoughtful, warm, friendly and attentive. I’m a good listener and I’m patient, I try to understand how the kids are feeling, dealing with big emotions I have master degree from Poland - Master of Arts, currently studying in BCC Digital Imaging and going to apply for internship after end of Spring semester June 2025 - I’d like to babysit till then I’m fully vaccinated for covid 19 and have all regular vaccines. I have a lot of childcare experience (more than 7 years full time, plus part time). I’ve read some child development articles or books as needed, I love Montessori philosophy. Some examples of experience: Babies: I used to read, go outside for walks, teaching to walk and speak first words, singing songs, dancing to the music, playing with toys, feeding and bathing, bedtime routine. Toddlers: I was full time babysitter for two sets of sibling 2 and 5 y.o., twins 3.5 y.o., currently the baby I took care of is a toddler as well 😀 (2 years old) 2[removed] I was au pair in USA for two years. I have had amazing time taking care of kids age 2-10 years old, also babies as babysitter back in Poland. I have experience of taking care of 3 kids at the time. I’m reliable and make sure everyone is safe. I have 5,5 years of full time experience with babies and toddlers, and couple more years before that I was babysitting part time as well or supervising art classes in Poland as an Art High School student. I was responsible for getting the kids ready to school, feeding, driving to activities, playing educational games, arts and crafts, giving them a bath, cooking for them, doing their laundry and housework related to them. I had a great bond with all kids. I have master degree in arts and I’m happy to do art activities with children. I’m also active and love hiking, I often play with kids outside, in the park.

Booked by 4 families in Orinda, CA

My name is Monique, and I am a dedicated childcare professional with over 7 years of experience as a caregiver and five additional years as an English teacher in Brazil. I have been living in Oakland since January 2019, when I first arrived in the United States. I began my career in childcare as an au pair in early 2019 with a wonderful family who inspired my passion for child development and family support. Since then, I have worked with multiple families as a babysitter and have spent the past three years as a full-time nanny with one family, building a strong and lasting relationship. I am engaging, patient, and highly reliable. I am also a confident driver, fluent in both English and Portuguese, and bring strong communication and organizational skills to my work. Most importantly, I am committed to creating a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where children can grow, learn, and thrive. I look forward to supporting a new family and contributing to their children’s growth and development.

Monique was wonderful - super thoughtful and engaging with my son; really COVID-19 conscious as well. We can't wait to have Monique come over again!

"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)."
