Patrice $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Patrice and I’m passionate about fostering children’s growth and development. With extensive experience in early childhood education, I’m proud to run a daycare in Vallejo that operates Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and my knowledge of brain development and early education allows me to create engaging, age-appropriate activities that support each child’s individual developmental journey—whether they’re 3 months or 8 years old. In the near future I will begin pursuing a degree in cognitive science to further expand my expertise. I am organized, positive, and have a team player approach with all my families. I prioritize open communication with parents, as I believe collaboration is key to providing the best care and environment for every child. I look forward to making a positive impact on your child’s day and supporting their growth every step of the way!

$30 per hour for 1 child

With three years of dedicated childcare experience and a genuine passion for creating nurturing, active, and imaginative environments for children, I am confident I can provide excellent care and enrichment for your family. For the past three years, I have cared for two children from infancy through early school age, supporting them through critical developmental milestones. During this time, I have honed skills in daily childcare routines, safety protocols, creative play, and age-appropriate activities. I am organized and detail-oriented in managing schedules, meal preparation, and household responsibilities, while maintaining the highest standards of professionalism and trustworthiness. My natural creativity shines through in how I engage children, whether through outdoor adventures, reading sessions, nature walks, or imaginative play that stimulates learning and joy. I bring an active, energetic approach to childcare that aligns with my genuine love for outdoor activities and physical engagement. I believe children thrive when encouraged to explore, play, and discover the world around them, and I am committed to fostering curiosity and confidence in every child I care for. My honest, reliable nature and strong work ethic have built deep trust with my current family, and I am eager to bring these same qualities to your household. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my experience, creativity, and dedication to childcare excellence can meet your family's needs. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to speaking with you soon.

“Susan has been nannying for our family for the past three years, caring for our nine year old daughter and three year old son. She is truly the most patient, compassionate, and loving nanny I have ever met. Susan is incredibly flexible, reliable, and dedicated, she puts her whole heart into caring for our children. Over the past three years, she has become so much more than our nanny, she has truly become part of our family. My son is starting preschool full-time in September, and I know it will be a huge adjustment for both of my kids when Susie is no longer here. We will miss her more than we can put into words. Susan has given our children a genuine love for cooking, art, music, and nature. They have loved all of the adventures she takes them on, from trips to the beach, library, parks, the pool, to all the little everyday activities she makes special. She is always engaged, creative, and intentional about making their days fun, meaningful, and enriching. Our kids absolutely adore her, and we feel so lucky to have had her in their lives. I would give Susan more stars if I could! Any family would be incredibly fortunate to have her care for their children.”

Booked by 2 families in Port Costa, CA

Hello families, I'm Luz Maria, though most know me as Lucy. I'm the youngest of five siblings, who enjoys spontaneous adventures, hiking, and spending time with loved ones. I value being open-minded, kind, curious, and empathetic. I strongly believe in self-care, recognizing that we can best care for others when we also take care of ourselves. I have over a decade of experience supporting infants and toddlers. My top priority is their safety. Beyond that, I strive to create an environment where children feel encouraged to explore and learn. I take time to truly listen and understand each child's needs, emphasizing being present and intentional in every interaction. I believe children should be able to fully express themselves by talking through emotions, while still setting boundaries. My goal as a nanny is to help children explore their world safely and confidently while supporting each family's values, routines, and parenting style. Please let me know your needs and how I can be a valuable addition to your family’s support system.

“Luz is a fantastic and loving nanny for my little boy for almost 17 months. I met Luz at the park and saw how incredible she was interacting with kids espicialy infants and toddlers, the reason why I hired her as my night sitter couple times a month. She is responsible, caring, honest, communicative and on-time throughout her employment with me. For anyone who is looking for a nanny, I would strongly recommend Luz she is an amazing nanny who will sincerely care for your children like they are 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)."
