Jill $35 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in San Carlos, CA

My most recent and current experience is working as a nanny/private tutor for a 4-yr-old for the past year. I’ve given him afternoon lessons in the 3Rs, art and piano, as well as managed playtime, exercise and meals. I previously nannied for a little girl since her 8th month. I love children of all ages and feel equally well equipped to manage any age and/or multiple children. I enjoy cooking healthy meals and exercising with my son. I’m an avid reader and delight in reading storybooks to kids and engaging them in meaningful playtime activities or tutoring as necessary. I come from a large, close-knit family with 4 siblings all 2 years apart in age. I’ve been raising children through family obligations, babysitting gigs, and my own child (now 16 yrs) my entire life. I also have significant training and experience in healthcare and senior care. I’m a Certified Nursing Assistant and Home Health Aid. I’ve worked in hospital and home settings. I have an MBA and previously worked in the biotech/pharma and technology transfer industries for 20+ years. I’m looking to make a transition in pursuit of a better work-life balance at this stage of life. I’m looking for a stable family where I can become part an integral part of the fabric of daily life ensuring everyone’s day runs smoothly, happily and healthfully. My undergraduate degree in psychology (with honors) illustrates my lifelong interest in human behavior and child development. I continue to maintain an energetic personality and commitment to lifelong learning.

Booked by 1 family in San Carlos, CA

Hello! My name is Brisa. I’m a caring, patient, and dependable childcare provider with years of hands-on experience working with children of different ages. I specialize in working with children with special needs, particularly children with autism. I have experience supporting children ages 3 to 5, helping them develop communication, social, and daily living skills while using positive behavior strategies. I also have personal experience caring for my younger brother, which sparked my passion for working with children. I’ve been babysitting since I was 12 years old, caring for my brother and other children over the years. In addition, I’ll soon be starting a part-time position as an afterschool teacher, where I’ll continue creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for children to learn and grow. I enjoy keeping children engaged through arts and crafts, reading, outdoor play, educational activities, games, and creative learning experiences.

Hi families! I’m Auly, a responsible and caring nanny with 4 years of childcare experience. I currently work at a daycare, where I’ve been supporting children’s development through structured activities, play, and daily routines. I am CPR certified and trained in Child Abuse and Neglect Mandated Reporting. I also have a valid driver’s license with a clean record and can assist with transportation if needed. Spanish is my first language, and I’m currently taking English classes, which allows me to support bilingual families.

I love engaging children through music, dance, cooking, and fun learning activities while creating a safe and positive environment.

"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)."
