Booked by 1 family in Portola Valley, CA

Hi! My name is Antonia. I have 10 years of nanny experience and recently graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Nursing. I also have experience caring for elderly adults, which has helped me develop a compassionate, patient, and attentive approach to caregiving. I’ve volunteered in a preschool Spanish immersion classroom where I helped children with activities such as science, writing, and reading. I also volunteered for three years at at a Children’s Hospital assisting with newborn hearing screening program. I enjoy cooking, reading, and spending time outdoors. I’m very attentive, caring, and detail-oriented, which helps me provide thoughtful and safe care.

“Antonia was awesome with my 11 year old. She also handled my dog well who’s not used to strangers in the house. She’s like a big sister/cool aunt and my kid enjoyed hanging out with her a lot. Looking forward to more date nights with my wife knowing that Antonia is such a great fit for our family!”

Hello! My name is Keitty, and I’ve been working as a nanny since I was 15 years old — that’s 9 wonderful years of experience caring for children! I hold a degree in Physical Education and have strong knowledge in child development. I have experience working both live-in and live-out, and I’ve cared for little ones from 6 months to 7 years old. I also worked as a PE teacher with children and teens from 2 to 17 years old. I’m active, patient, and truly passionate about helping kids grow, learn, and have fun in a safe environment. In addition to childcare, I have great experience as a family assistant, supporting families with organization, routines, errands, and light household tasks. I also have amazing references to share from both nanny and family assistant positions. I’m a confident driver and always happy to help wherever needed. I’d love to connect and learn more about your family!

Korinne $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I am energetic, creative, mindful, and I enjoy helping others. With 17yrs of professional childcare experience, including running a large after school program at an elementary school via Hayward Public Library, I've been able to help bring siblings together, keep hundreds of Bay Area families reassured of their childcare choice, and teach kids several skills -- including chess, soccer, musical theater, dance, and Spanish. Professional roles: Camp Galileo Team Leader - 3yrs, Beechwood School PreK & Kinder aide - 1 y, Beechwood Substitute Teacher - 2 yrs, Hayward Public Library HSC Supervisor - 3 yrs, MS Spanish & Math tutor - 1 yr, Nanny -7 yrs, Kiddie Corp Childcare - 2 yrs ongoing, Mother's Helper - 1y During childcare I focus on safety, fun, opportunities to learn, outdoor play, and morality. I believe in swapping screen time for interactive activities, the importance of physical health, reflecting on our actions, and high energy fun. My favorite way to spend downtime with kids includes: going outdoors, imaginative play, and crafts -- unless your child likes karaoke!!! You will always get periodical updates if you choose, the kids will always have my full attention, and you can count on an energetic, experienced, detail-oriented, and committed childcare provider. I am open-minded, flexible, and I value communication.

"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)."
