Hello families, My name is Reese and I hope I can become a potential addition to your family! I speak English and Cantonese. I graduated from high school in 2024. During my school years, I have participated in multiple sports and indulged in AP, honor, and IB classes, succeeding in all of them. I am an individual who takes pride & responsibility in their work, and caring for children is a passion where I put my pride and best efforts into. Starting out my babysitting path I have worked with over 15+ families for the past year. Meeting new families and developing friendships with parents and the children in my care. I am a person of creativity, wit, and integrity; I am self-confident and passionate in my goals/profession— I hope to share my traits with your family! I have held different semi-long term nanny/babysitting jobs for multiple families! I am also cpr, AED, and first aid certified. I am an animal lover and have 8 cats and a dog myself so I work well with animals in the vicinity too! Keeping your children safe is my top priority, as well as keeping them happy and entertained. Respecting the time and requirements of my families is also a priority for me as well. During my care, you will receive updates and lots photos of your child when they are under my care for safety and comfort! I hope to work with you and your family.

“Reese has watched my two girls several times, and we have been so happy with her! My daughters are 8 and 1½, and caring for both of them at their different ages takes a lot of patience, responsibility, and flexibility. Reese is incredibly sweet, responsible, and attentive with both of them. She truly goes above and beyond to make sure the girls are happy, safe, and well cared for. I always feel completely comfortable leaving them with her, and my girls love having her here. She is dependable, thoughtful, and has such a kind, nurturing personality. We feel very lucky to have found her and would absolutely recommend her to any family looking for a wonderful sitter!”

Hi! I'm Sarah, a registered nurse with extensive experience in childcare, babysitting, and nannying. I am currently accepting new families with newborns through 6 months of age. I currently work as a Med/Surg nurse and have experience in oncology, pediatrics, and some in NICU/neonatal care. Before becoming a nurse, I was an EMT and have been CPR certified since I was 12. During my time as an EMT, I worked with Girl Scouts at Skylark Ranch, where I received training and multiple childcare certifications as the health supervisor and assistant camp director. I also have experience taking care of children and adults as Ski Patrol and as a ski/snowboard instructor at several Truckee area resorts. I am AASI level 1 certified and have worked as a ski/snowboard-nanny. I am currently looking for a family with a newborn or young infant, ages 0-6 months. Potentially older as they continue to grow. I have experience with twins and multiples. I love animals, am drug-free, a non-smoker, have a reliable 4x4 vehicle, clean driving record, and background check. I am willing to adapt and learn the specific way your family does things. I would like to be consistent with your baby's routine, feeding schedule, sleep training, etc. I am also open to travel and have experience as a family vacation nanny. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Thank you!

Hi familias! I’m Daniela 🦋🫧👧🏻🍼🦖I graduated from UC Davis with a degree in Human Development and a minor in Public Health. I’ve cared for kids of all ages, from little babies to older kiddos. I’m CPR certified, dependable, patient, and genuinely love being around kids. I’m happy to help with anything from date nights and occasional babysitting to more consistent care. I can help with playtime, meals, homework and bedtime routines. Most importantly I want your kids to feel comfortable, cared for and have fun, while you’re away :)

“Our 4yo loved Daniela!! She is punctual, she dives right in as soon as she arrived and had many tricks up her sleeves to keep kids entertained. We came home to many drawings. My child cried after Daniela left because she missed the sitter so much! Will definitely request again next time we are up in napa”

"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)."
