Magali 2 reviews
Petaluma
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Magali. I have many years of experience as a nanny. I'm looking for one or two families to care for. It could be part-time. I live in Petaluma. If you're interested, I can send you my portfolio. Thank you.

Magali cared for our daughter from age 6 months all the way until 3.5 (Aug 2022-Aug 2025). During those 3 years she was such a blessing to our family and instrumental in providing a loving and stable environment for her and us. She also cared for our older daughter occasionally after school, during the summer and other school breaks. Magali was dependable, reliable and someone we could always count on. She is warm, calm, loving and good hearted. She cared for our daughter as if she was one of her own, with so much love. Magali took her to ballet, gymnastics, the library, music classes, multi cultural events and many parks over the 3 years. We would recommend her to any family looking for care and I’d be happy to speak directly to those who are interested.

Tanya Petaluma
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I'm Tanya and I am a fun-loving, caring, knowledgeable and experienced caregiver that has been working with children since I babysat as a teenager. I started teaching at the elementary level right out of college. I taught until my second child was born. I raised three children with my husband in Sonoma County. When my children were of school age I started nannying for families with infants. My specialty is sleep training and helping babies and toddlers with schedules that work for their families. I went back to work in public schools as an instructional assistant in special education in 2020 which is where I am currently.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
