Hi, my name is Zara, and I’m a loving and experienced childcare provider. I’ve worked for three years in a daycare with toddlers and young children, and I truly enjoy spending time with kids — helping them learn, grow, and have fun. As a mother of two, I understand how important it is to create a safe, nurturing, and positive environment. I love planning fun activities, teaching simple lessons, and encouraging creativity and curiosity in every child I care for. In addition to childcare, I can also help around the home — cooking, cleaning, and driving to appointments or activities. I’m also comfortable working with families who have dogs or other pets. I’m passionate about what I do and look forward to supporting a family who values warmth, patience, and reliability.

Zara was wonderful and we look forward to having her back to watch our toddler again soon! She was a proactive communicator and has a calm, kind demeanor that our little one immediately took to. He wanted to walk her around the garden and show her the house. She even sent us a few update texts to put our minds at ease about bedtime and went above and beyond to wash some bottles for us.

Hi, my name is Jahaira. I am currently a preschool teacher in Palo Alto. I have been teaching there for over 9 years. I love working with children. I also enjoy helping around the house and be an extra set of hands in your household. I have worked with multiple families in the past, long and short term as a household assistant. I am looking for some weekends or weekday nights hours to help with taking care of your babies or helping around the house. I am very flexible and reliable.

Jahaira was punctual and our kids loved her.

Hello parents! My name is Livia, I’m 32 years old, and I’m originally from Brazil. One of the things I love most about being a childcare provider is getting to know each child and building a genuine connection with them. Every child has their own personality, and I believe children thrive when they feel safe, respected, and truly seen. I love the Montessori philosophy and enjoy using many of its principles in my daily work. At the same time, I understand every family is unique, so I always respect each family’s parenting style and adapt my care to what works best for their child. I’ve been caring for children for several years in both Brazil and the U.S. I worked as an au pair from 2019 to 2021, and since then I’ve been working as a professional nanny, primarily with infants and toddlers while caring for children of all ages. I recently graduated from Berkeley City College with degrees in Liberal Arts and Gender Studies, and I continue taking courses in child development because I genuinely love learning. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, have completed Child Safety training through the American Red Cross Learning Center, and have a clean driving record with my own reliable car. One of the most meaningful experiences of my life was volunteering in Tanzania, where I cared for children in a daycare while supporting a girls’ education project. I speak Portuguese, English, and Spanish. I also spent three months living in Argentina, which helped me improve my Spanish while experiencing the culture. I love arts and crafts, reading, sensory play, outdoor adventures, and creating fun, developmentally appropriate activities. I’m available for date nights, weekends, overnights, travel, and I’m always happy to care for pets too. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family!

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
