Fernanda $33 per hour for 1 child

Hi moms & families! 🤍 My name is Fernanda, and I’m currently looking for a full-time - part time nanny position (around 40 hours/week) in Sonoma County, Marin, Novato, or nearby areas. I live in Petaluma. I’ve been working in childcare for 8+ years, with lots of experience caring for infants and toddlers. I’m CPR & First Aid certified, bilingual in English and Spanish, and have been driving for 10+ years. References are also available! 😊 But most importantly, I truly love what I do. I’m a patient, nurturing, and reliable nanny who loves creating a safe, loving, and fun environment where little ones can learn and grow. 🤍 I’m also a mom to my sweet 19-month-old daughter, and I’m hoping to find a family who would be comfortable with me bringing her along while I work. I’ve seen how wonderful it can be for children to grow up together—playing, learning, sharing, and having a little buddy by their side. 🧸💕 If you or someone you know is looking for a loving, experienced nanny, I’d love to connect! Please feel free to send me a message or tag a family who might be a good fit. 🤍 📍 Petaluma | Sonoma County | Marin | Novato 🕐 Full-time | ~40 hours/week 👶 Infant & toddler experience ❤️ CPR/First Aid certified 🗣️ English & Spanish 📋 References available

Tanya $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.

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."

"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)."
