Booked by 77 families in Petaluma, CA

Hi my name is Juana, I've been working with kids for 20+ years. I enjoy seeing children development physically and emotionally. I love to take kids to walks or to the park. I like cooking and I don't mind light cleaning. I have an ECE associate from SRJC, and I’m working on getting my ECE certificate. I would provide local references after we meet up in person and decide we are a good fit. Cancellation policy: because babysitting it's my main source of income I require 50% of the booking if you need to cancel a booking with 24 hours. 100% of the booking if you cancel with 12 hours notice. I require a minimum of 4 hour per booking. Also I require to get paid the time I get booked even if you come home earlier. Because I have full time nanny job and I’m protecting my regular nanny kids, I do not take care of children if they are sick with a fever over 102, or any contagious virus. Thank you for understanding. Also my rates will change if kids are from different families. -Thanks for reading.

We hired Juana to look after our 7mo old son. She was a natural from the moment she walked in our home, providing us with great comfort along with a safe and happy environment for our son. After we provided a quick overview of his routine, Juana helped right away. It’s clear she loves caring for children, and making sure the time she spends with them is quality time. Whether it be reading books, walks outside, playtime or speaking in Spanish, Juana had our son’s best interest at heart. We will be using Juana again and highly recommend her to other parents.

Booked by 6 families in Petaluma, CA

I’m a devoted mother of two adult children, including a daughter with special needs who was born prematurely. Doctors didn’t expect her to survive, but with my constant, loving care like that of a nurse she grew strong. That experience taught me deep patience, medical awareness, and how to nurture with compassion. I’ve also cared for children and elderly family members, as in my culture we show great respect and love for our elders. Most recently, I cared for a baby here in the U.S., giving me hands-on experience with infants in a new environment. I’m very patient, attentive, and trustworthy. Caring for others isn’t just my job it’s my passion.

Mina is a warm and lovely caretaker. Our 3 year old son took to her immediately. We were working from home while she watched him, and it sounded like they had lots of fun! She took him for walks around the yard and played in the house when he wanted to go back in. Especially when he was a bit sad and missed mom and dad, she comforted him and got him happy again within 20 minutes. We will hopefully be hiring Mina in the future when we are staying in the area!

Booked by 1 family in Petaluma, CA

I’m a doula, Montessori, Waldorf- inspired educator & somatic movement therapist specializing in alignment. My natural experience includes mothering of three school age children including twins. I’ve supported parents in positive parenting and child led learning. My Waldorf inspired experience comes from being avid volunteer at my children’s school as the librarian and supporting the art programs. I hold a MA in Adapted Physical Education and Minor in child development. In addition to helping families with newborns I have been a house/ estate manager overseeing construction, interior design, feng shui, organization and baby proofing households.

Punctual, resourceful, and helpful and engaged my children very well. I was very pleased with Kimberly's assistance and would not hesitate to have her 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."

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)."

Eric D., dad of two
