Knowing I can support families by providing reliable childcare is what I love most about my work. I have three years of experience caring for children of all ages, from toddlers to teenagers.

I am very comfortable enforcing household rules. I have experience working with hree children with special needs (two on the autism spectrum and one have ADHD), which has strengthened my patience, adaptability, and communication skills.

Booked by 1 family in San Carlos, 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!”

Almarah $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Almarah and I just graduated from Muhlenberg College with a B.A. in Media and Communications and Theatre. I am offering child care, dog care, and household tasks. I've been working with children since 8th grade, when I began tutoring Sunday School at my synagogue for elementary schoolers. I tutored all throughout high school, where I developed a passion for caring for children, as well as gaining experience in curriculum development and planning activities for children. I've spent a few summers as a camp counselor for children ranging from kindergarten through middle school and am very comfortable with any children in this age range, though I'm willing to care for younger kids as well! I spent last summer driving 12-24 middle schoolers around the bay, so I'm happy to bring your kids to any activities or classes they've got planned! I can cook, clean, do laundry, and run errands. I have the most experience in dog care but am open to working with other pets if I seem like the right fit your family!

Alma $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi I have worked with children in the preschool setting and day care centers for 7-9 years with ECE units and CCTC permits in Redwood City. Also I have a BA in Education and Education units from Notre Dame in Belmont. Currently, I am a Guest Teacher for the Redwood City School D. and I am going on my 6th year with the district. I enjoy working with school age children as they can express what they are learning and ask so many questions around their learning. I love and learn from other Teachers and Trainings that the school offers as it keeps me growing in the Ed. Field. I am caring and dedicated to what is my passion and working around children. I am bilingual in Spanish as well with references. Looking forward in meeting new families in the Redwood City area.

"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)."
