Hezel 1 review
$35 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! I’m a dedicated nanny with 15 years of childcare experience and a genuine love for being around children of all ages. I bring a ton of positive energy and thrive at keeping kids engaged, whether that’s through play, learning activities, or creative exploration. I believe every child deserves patience, encouragement, and fun while they grow—and I excel at balancing both nurturing care and educational support. I’m passionate about creating a safe, happy, and enriching environment. Please note that English is my second language. I communicate very well via text/google translate but I mainly speak Spanish. If you’re looking for a nanny who is reliable, experienced, and loves what she does, I’d love to connect and support your family!

It is with great pleasure and my highest recommendation that I write this letter for Hezel. Hezel has been our family's full-time nanny for the past 1.5 years. She began caring for our son when he was nine months old, and her impact on our family has been truly incredible. Hezel’s skills as a caregiver are exceptional. She joined us during a nanny-share with our neighbors, where she expertly cared for both our son and their child simultaneously—skillfully managing the complex needs of two boys under the age of one. Beyond her primary responsibilities, Hezel consistently went above and beyond to help our household run smoothly, often taking the initiative to wash dishes and fold laundry. Her proactive nature and strong work ethic are second to none. As a unique bonus, her past experience as a hairdresser was a wonderful perk, as she has given our son all his haircuts! What truly sets Hezel apart is the genuine warmth and love she shows for the children in her care. She is a patient, engaging, and deeply loving caregiver. The bond she built with our son is a testament to her character; he adores her, often asks for her on her days off, and is always happiest when playing with her. We have always had complete peace of mind knowing he was not just safe and cared for, but also genuinely happy and thriving under her watch. Hezel is, in the truest sense of the word, a "super nanny." She is reliable, skilled, and brings wonderful energy to her work. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Sarah $45 per hour for 1 child

Hi Families! I’m Nanny Sarah, 18 years experience. I have seen and done it all! I’m a professional contract Nanny. I have worked with multiples, twins and premature infants. Families describe me as not only a nanny but an educator as well. I’m looking for a full time position with a family that has a newborn that can commit to a few years until the child attends school. My kiddos are private school ready at 3 years old. They learn age appropriate physical and mental milestones. I take them on age appropriate outings such as parks, library, beach, zoo, music class, etc. I do sleep/nap training, self feeding training as well as potty training. I also teach them age appropriate speech and language development. Daily light housekeeping such as cleaning the kitchen, children play areas and bedroom, laundry, etc. I make learning and playtime lots of fun! We get messy, do art projects, sing and dance. I’m on the floor playing and interacting with the children, no TV. My kiddos are smart, confident, inclusive, and more importantly polite. They don’t go through toddler tantrums because they are able to communicate what they need and want. I am willing to travel on family trips. More about me: My spouse and I love to travel and go on outdoor adventures. I live in Alameda and enjoy all that the Bay Area has to offer such as farmers markets, hiking and events. I love to cook! I’m vegan. We have two dogs, no children. I have a BA from the University of Minnesota . LGBTQ

"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)."
