Booked by 7 families in Redwood City, CA

Hello parents! My name is Sally, and I’m a mom of three. I used to be active on this platform a few years ago, and I’m excited to be back! I’m CPR certified and have been babysitting for over 10 years — everything from newborns to teenagers, including experience in a childcare center. Over the years, I’ve helped with school drop-offs and pick-ups, meal prep, park outings, and running errands. I have my own car, a valid driver’s license, and I’m a very safe and reliable driver. If you have any questions or would like to chat, feel free to send me a message. I’d love to get to know your family! Best, Sally

Elayne $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Elayne, and I’m passionate about creating a safe, caring, and positive environment for children. As a nanny, I bring patience, responsibility, and genuine affection into everything I do. Families can count on me not just to supervise with care, but also to actively engage children in activities that spark learning, creativity, and growth. I’m reliable, organized, and respectful of each family’s routines and values. With strong communication skills, I make sure parents feel informed and supported while adapting to the unique needs of each child. My natural warmth and empathy help me build trust and strong bonds, making kids feel safe and comfortable. Above all, I believe in kindness, consistency, and safety. My goal as a caregiver is to give families peace of mind while ensuring their children are happy, supported, and nurtured every day.

Booked by 1 family in Redwood City, CA

With over seven years of childcare experience in the United States, I am dedicated to providing a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for children. In addition to my experience as a nanny, I worked as a teacher in Brazil, where I taught Portuguese as a second language in a multicultural school for children of diplomats. I also have a background as a Brazilian lawyer, which strengthened my organization, responsibility, and problem-solving skills. I am passionate about supporting children’s development, creating structured routines, and fostering a positive and caring environment. I would love the opportunity to contribute to your 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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"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)."
