Kahari $15 per hour for 1 child

I am a dedicated and compassionate college student pursuing a degree in Public Health, with hands-on experience caring for individuals across all stages of life, including children, adults, seniors, pets, and households. My background in the health field has given me both the technical skills and emotional awareness needed to provide safe, reliable, and empathetic care. I understand that caregiving is not just about completing tasks, but about building trust, showing patience, and creating a supportive environment where others feel valued and respected. My caregiving journey began shortly after graduating high school, when I worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) in a nursing home. In this role, I provided direct care to seniors, assisting with daily living activities, mobility, personal hygiene, and emotional support. This experience taught me responsibility, professionalism, and the importance of dignity and compassion in caregiving. Working closely with seniors helped me develop strong communication skills and an understanding of the physical, emotional, and social challenges that can come with aging. In addition to senior care, I have extensive experience working with children. I currently teach and supervise summer camps for children ages 3 to 16, where I am responsible for creating a safe, engaging, and inclusive environment. Through this work, I have developed strong skills in leadership, patience, creativity, and conflict resolution. I enjoy supporting children’s growth, encouraging learning through play, and helping them feel confident and cared for. My ability to adapt to different age groups allows me to meet each child’s unique needs while maintaining structure and fun. I am also a genuine animal lover and feel very comfortable caring for pets. I understand that pets are family members, and I approach pet care with the same responsibility, patience, and affection that I bring to human caregiving. I enjoy spending time with furry friends, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I love reptiles as well I have a crested geico! Personality-wise, I am a caring, positive, and approachable individual who enjoys helping others. I love to laugh, connect with people, and bring warmth into the spaces I work in. I understand that life comes with challenges, and my experiences have taught me empathy, resilience, and gratitude. I am thankful for where I am today and motivated to give back through meaningful work that supports others.

Gabriela 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hey Guys!! My name is Gabi, I’m a 19 year old looking for a full time job as a nanny! I have had experience with kids from ages 6 months- 5 since I was 15. My mom is a daycare owner and I was her assistant for about 3 years . I love working with kids and am excited to hopefully find a family I can work for! I can cook, clean, help with homework if needed, and if you guys have pets, I love animals and would love to help as well. I have also graduated high school! I have cpr documents/papers if needed. Thank you :)!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We couldn’t recommend Gabi more! She has been babysitting both of our daughters for the past three years, and we trust her completely. Our girls are now 2 and 4, and she has built such a special bond with them. She always keeps them entertained with fun activities while providing the most loving, patient, and safe care. The biggest testament to how amazing she is? Our daughters are constantly asking, “When is Gabi coming over to play?” They absolutely adore her, and as parents, there’s nothing better than knowing your children are so happy and excited to spend time with their babysitter. If you’re looking for someone who is dependable, caring, engaging, and truly loves the kids she watches, Gabi is the absolute best. We are so grateful to have found her!

This creativity allows me to keep children engaged with new ideas, games, and projects that spark imagination. I also bring strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and a calm personality that helps me adapt easily to different family needs.

Booked by 3 families in Orinda, CA

Hello My name is Denny, native Spanish , I am from Colombia, mom of two boys and I am looking for nice family in need of some help with their child/children, as mature mother I knowhow much love they need. For years I have been helping families taking care of their Kids and learning Spanish as second language. I enjoy of their company while I keep them safe and happy. I live in Concord, but have no problem going to neighboring cities if the job requires me to do so. I am available full time and even certain weekends. Whether the help you need are recurring days or just random days I would love to help. Please feel free to contact me if you are interested if you are interested, I'd be happy to answer any more questions you may have. thanks so much Denny

Stop right here and hire Denny if looking for reliability, true nanny professionalism, and genuine care for the children she cares for. We are a family with two toddler girls and we were struggling to find a reliable nanny. We hired Denny and never looked back- she was with us for two years and we had several trial babysitter nanny experiences before finding her on urbansitter. She is experienced and has been the only reliable and trustworthy childcare candidate we have found in our area. As a mother herself and long time nanny, she sees things that I didn’t and ALWAYS accommodated our family with our wild schedule. She was truly a God sent and we will miss her dearly. She is definitely family and my girls love the Spanish they learned with her. Denny has reliable transportation and did not have any other factors preventing her from committing 100% to our needs.

"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)."
