Joanna 1 review
$27 per hour for 1 child

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.”

Booked by 4 families in Redwood City, CA

Hello, My name is Anjali, I am 26 years old. I have been a nanny for the last 6 years for many amazing families. I was recently an Au Pair for a wonderful family in palo alto, but they have now moved away. I looking to pick up some part time work and be a helping hand to the right family :). I love spending time with kids and have always loved children. I’ve babysat since the age 15. It has led me to become extremely comfortable with children of all ages. I have a safe reliable vehicle. Outside of babysitting and nannying, I am currently perusing a career in law and recently graduated college with my BS in justice studies. I’m very responsive and find it easiest to communicate with parents over text. Feel free to reach out :)

Kimberly $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Kimberly! I'm an 18 year old college student currently studying to become a nurse! A little about me: I love painting, being in nature, listening to music, and taking walks in the park. I’ve been babysitting for years it all began when I was 12, caring for my younger cousins and taking them to soccer practice. Through that, I met other families who needed help, which gave me the opportunity to work with many wonderful kids! I also have experience with older children, especially during high school when I worked as a teacher’s assistant. Babysitting is something I genuinely enjoy because I love watching kids grow and develop into their own little selves. It’s a joy to be part of that journey, and I hope to continue making a positive impact in the lives of the families I work with! I currently work at Starbucks, but I'm looking for a full-time babysitting position that allows me to prioritize school once it starts on January 12. Right now, my availability is wide open after 12 PM (I work 3:30 AM – 12 PM), but I’m willing to leave my current job if I find the right full-time opportunity. Starting in January, my availability will change to part-time to accommodate my school schedule. If you're interested or would like to know more, feel free to reach out! Thank you, and have a wonderful day!

"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)."
