Hi! I'm Thaís, 25 years old, with over 12 years of experience caring for children of all ages. I'm a former Au Pair in the U. S., where I gained hands-on experience in a multicultural family and learned to adapt to different routines and parenting styles. I'm a loving, patient, and reliable nanny who truly enjoys supporting children in their growth and daily adventures. I speak both Portuguese and English fluently, and I've been a safe and responsible driver for 7 years. I have my own car. I'm comfortable helping with meals, homework, light housekeeping, and driving to activities. I believe in creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids feel seen, heard, and cared for. I'm currently looking for a family where I can build a strong and positive relationship based on trust, respect, and teamwork. Cash only

Maria $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a proud mom to an 8-year-old girl, and through raising her I’ve gained plenty of hands-on experience with kids. I love doing arts and crafts, reading books together, visiting parks, setting up play dates, and creating fun home learning activities to get little ones ready for school. I’m also comfortable with light cooking for kids and tidying up after their activities. I enjoy keeping things fun, safe, and engaging while helping kids learn and grow.

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!

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!

"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)."
