Angelica $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Angelica, and I’m a caring, responsible, and patient babysitter with experience working with children of different ages. I truly enjoy creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids feel comfortable and parents feel confident. I also have 5+ years of professional experience as a preschool teacher at a Montessori preschool in Corte Madera, where I worked closely with young children and supported their learning, development, and daily routines, and i also CPR certified. I provide babysitting, occasional care, and after-school care. I’m happy to help with light meal prep, bedtime routines, and keeping a consistent schedule. I have experience caring for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age children. I adapt my care to each child’s developmental needs, personality, and routine. I love doing arts and crafts, reading stories, playing educational games, going for walks, and encouraging creative play.

Beeta $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Beeta, I’ve been working as an outdoor teacher on and off for the last few years and am looking to transition out in order to go back for a masters program :) I have extensive background working with kids; specifically was working with 3-5 year olds as a teacher, but have worked with and been a caretaker for children under 12 for over a decade. I am comfortable working with all ages babies included. I am a certified clinical herbalist, naturalist, and artist (painting, play guitar), and experienced backcountry hiker. I am very active and can even teach a thing or two about plants and art :) I love animals and have no issue caretaking for a dog or cats too and helping the family out! I have a clean driving record and can fit two children in my car, or drive yours if that’s an option! Looking for ~25th/week and am also open to random days here and there. Let’s chat! Look forward to meeting you!

Constanza $35 per hour for 1 child

My name is Connie, and I’m currently looking for a full-time nanny position! I have over 10 years of experience working with children of all ages—from newborns to school-age—and absolutely love what I do. 💛 Back in my home country, I worked as a teacher and was also a professional swimmer, which has given me a strong background in education, patience, and safety around water. I’m a native Spanish speaker, a confident swimmer, and a safe, experienced driver with a clean record. I’m reliable, loving, and always aim to create a fun, nurturing, and safe environment for the little ones in my care. I’m also happy to help with light housekeeping, meal prep, and driving to/from activities. I’d love to connect with a kind family who’s looking for someone trustworthy and energetic to become part of their routine (and their kids’ lives!). Feel free to message me if you’d like to chat or learn more—happy to share references too! Thanks so much! ✨

Laura Sofia $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello, dear future families, My name is Sofia, I’m 22 years old, and I bring over three years of hands-on experience caring for babies and children of various ages. My approach to childcare is built on love, joy, patience, and unwavering support, values that guide me in creating a nurturing and positive environment for every child I care for. What I love most about this work is being part of a child’s journey as they grow, learn, and begin to understand and express their emotions. Every day is different, some filled with joy, others with challenges, and I’m here to support them through it all with calmness, empathy, and good communication. I’m also an excellent cook, a confident driver, and a strong swimmer. I’m very active and creative, and I love organizing engaging activities, from story time sessions to fun adventures at the park. My goal is to make each day enriching, safe, and filled with joy. I look forward to the opportunity to support your family and help your child thrive! Warmly, Sofía

"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)."
