$30 per hour for 1 child

My name is Jessica, and I bring a strong blend of experience, education, and genuine care to every family I work with. With a background as an Au Pair in the U.S., professional Nanny, and two years as a Teacher Assistant in Brazil, I have cared for children from infancy to school age, creating safe, structured, and joyful environments where kids can thrive. I am CPR and First Aid certified and hold an RPC (Responsible Program Candidate) certificate from my pre-Au Pair training, which focused on child development, safety, and positive discipline. Additionally, I hold a technical degree in Nutrition (Brazil), which allows me to support healthy eating habits and prepare balanced meals for children if necessary. I will always prioritize the choices and preferences of the parents first. My approach combines warmth, responsibility, and creativity. I love organizing engaging activities—arts and crafts, outdoor play, reading, and routines—always adapted to the child’s age and interests. What I can provide for your family: • Loving, attentive care for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children • Support with routines: feeding, naps, diaper changes, and developmental milestones • Fun activities and homework assistance • Reliability, punctuality, and clear communication Families often describe me as caring, trustworthy, and proactive. I take pride in being a calm, positive presence for children, helping them feel safe and happy. If you want, I’d be happy to share my complete CV. Looking forward to meeting your family and providing exceptional care!

Jessica worked at our school in Brazil, where I am the director and owner, caring for children from 3 months to 6 years old. She spent the mornings assisting with the care of the children in the nursery and the afternoons as a teacher assistant in a classroom with 4- to 5-year-olds. She was professional, dedicated, punctual, extremely reliable, affectionate with the children, and maintained a happy, healthy, and safe environment for them. I highly recommend her!

We were looking for a caretaker for taking care of our 10 month old daughter for a month, before she started day care. Fortunately for us and our daughter, we ended up meeting Anna through urbansitter. Anna is extremely loving, sincere, hardworking and responsible. She quickly ramped up to our daughter's schedule, in a matter of 1-2 days. She was always on time, flexible when we needed her for a couple of extra hours during the end of the day. Within a matter of 1 week, she gained our complete trust. Her responsibilities included watching over our daughter, keeping her engaged, feeding her milk and solids, putting her for her day naps, laundry. Aside from these she would also proactively help us with some minor chores. She also keeps her environment very clean and organized. We also have a 2 year old dog who is extremely playful and loving. Anna was super friendly with our dog too. Overall, I would highly recommend her for families out there. The only reason we couldn't continue with her was because our daughter started day care.

I am an experienced and dedicated childcare provider with of experience caring for newborns, babies, toddlers, and children of all ages. CPR certified in California through the American Safety and Health Institute. I am a responsible and trustworthy professional who prioritizes children's safety, well-being, and development. I have experience with children who have allergies. I hold a degree in Design, which helps me encourage children's creativity and support their cognitive development through engaging, age-appropriate activities. I have hands-on experience with potty training and sleep training and am fully capable of managing a wide range of childcare tasks, including diaper changes, meal preparation, laundry and clothing organization, and activity planning. I am known for being highly organized, proactive, caring, honest, and dependable

Deb has been a huge help to our family. We don't know how we would have survived the busy newborn phase without her. We met Deb when she was helping another child at the same co-op preschool and I saw how attentive she was with him and all the other children in the class. During this intense time with us, she potty trained our child and has shown great care with his food allergies. She's helped manage his anxiety and fostered coping mechanisms as he's adapted to so much change. We are completely comfortable with her taking our children out each day for very engaging and thoughtful activities (library story times, park, school, swim class, the allergy clinic, etc) while looking out for their safety and security. Our kids absolutely love her and look forward to playing together each day.

Booked by 5 families in Redwood City, CA

Hi! My name is Catia — I’m 25 years old and based in Palo Alto. I have several years of experience working with children from toddlers through elementary school, both in private homes and educational settings. I currently work as a Program Manager with Right At School at Ohlone Elementary, where I lead after-school programs that support kids’ social, emotional, and academic growth. Alongside that, I’ve provided nanny and babysitting care for multiple families over the years, caring for children as young as 4months up to 5 years old. I love creating fun, engaging, and safe environments for kids to learn and explore through play. I’m also CPR and First Aid certified, bilingual in Spanish, and experienced with supporting children with different learning and behavioral needs. Families describe me as responsible, kind, and dependable, and I truly enjoy building positive relationships with both kids and parents. I’d love to bring that same energy and care to your family! -Catia :)

My daughter loved playing with Catia! She was very fun and engaged with art projects and playing dolls :) We would love to have her back another time!

"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

"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)."
