Booked by 1 family in Redwood City, 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!”

Maria Laura $30 per hour for 1 child

Knowing I can support families by providing reliable childcare is what I love most about my work. I have three years of experience caring for children of all ages, from toddlers to teenagers. I am comfortable with up to two children. I am patient, kind, calm, and responsible. I am also a fast learner, punctual, clean, and organized. I follow parents' preferred communication methods. I am very comfortable enforcing household rules. I have experience working with hree children with special needs (two on the autism spectrum and one have ADHD), which has strengthened my patience, adaptability, and communication skills. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, puzzles, and educational games with children. I am happy to help with cooking, meal preparation, carpooling, and light housekeeping. I am excited to bring my energy and skills to your family!

Caring for children has been part of my life since I was young, and it's grown into both a passion and a profession. I bring both an academic foundation — a Bachelor's degree in Human Services from Utah State University, with coursework in Communicative Disorders and Psychology — and 7+ years of hands-on experience to everything I do, giving me a real understanding of how children develop, communicate, and grow at every stage, from infancy through age 13. My time as a Behavioral Technician, supporting children with autism, taught me patience, consistency, and how to truly meet a child where they are. Day to day, I provide attentive, nurturing care: infant routines, meal and snack prep, homework help, school pick-ups and drop-offs, age-appropriate activities, and light housekeeping. I'm CPR/First-Aid/AED certified, have a valid driver's license and reliable vehicle, and I'm looking for a long-term, full-time position through payroll where I can bring both my heart and my training to a family who wants a consistent, trusted caregiver. 🥰 Resume & References available upon request

“Lily has helped as me as a mother’s helper for the last two years for my 3 children ages 3-8. She is warm and caring with our whole family and genuinely loves kids. She goes above and beyond to help me keep the house in order, whether that’s cleaning or helping the kids eat their dinner. Her communication is always open and receptive with our needs and her own. We are beyond blessed to have found someone so genuine and professional!”

Alma $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi I have worked with children in the preschool setting and day care centers for 7-9 years with ECE units and CCTC permits in Redwood City. Also I have a BA in Education and Education units from Notre Dame in Belmont. Currently, I am a Guest Teacher for the Redwood City School D. and I am going on my 6th year with the district. I enjoy working with school age children as they can express what they are learning and ask so many questions around their learning. I love and learn from other Teachers and Trainings that the school offers as it keeps me growing in the Ed. Field. I am caring and dedicated to what is my passion and working around children. I am bilingual in Spanish as well with references. Looking forward in meeting new families in the Redwood City area.

Hello! I am a warm, attentive and enthusiastic person who loves taking care of children and people of all ages. I have 10 years of experience working with children, first as a Montessori preschool teacher assistant, then as a day care worker for infants and toddlers and also as a substitute teacher. As a substitute teacher I had a preference for special education and I enjoy working with special needs children of all ages. I have training in Montessori Early Childhood Education and I have really seen the benefits of the Montessori Method, especially in the early years. I love being outside and exploring in nature. I have a love for learning and I love to help children to discover the joy of learning and nurture their creativity. Thank you for considering me as a caregiver!

“Joanna has been babysitting my son since he was two; he’s now four. I love the energy she brings—she’s incredibly musical and creative. She often brings her guitar and sings with a beautiful voice that my son adores. It lifts not only his spirits but mine as well. She’s a blessing to any household that hires her.”

"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)."
