Booked by 10 families in San Carlos, CA

My name is Shaelie, and I am a graduate of Cal State Monterey Bay, where I earned my degree in Social and Behavioral Sciences. I have about 12 years of babysitting and nannying experience working with children of all ages, including infants and early elementary–aged kids. Over the past few years, my professional work has also involved supporting children and families through community outreach and family services, which has allowed me to continue working closely with kids and strengthening my skills in communication, patience, and child development. I just moved to the Bay from Monterey, I would love to return to nannying, sitting, and working more directly with families again. I take a gentle, thoughtful approach to childcare and enjoy creating engaging, age appropriate activities that support children’s development while making each day fun and meaningful. I value open communication with parents and strive to create a calm, supportive environment for children to grow and feel confident. I am fully vaccinated, have my own reliable car, a clean driving record, and I’m comfortable driving children as needed. I also love pets and am happy to work in homes with animals.

“Shae was absolutely amazing with our shy 18mo and kept her cool despite our girl being fussy. She’s super easy going and willing to help out with other tasks around the house proactively. Absolutely would love to hire her again. Highly recommend!!”

Booked by 2 families in San Carlos, CA

I’m Lalida, and I’m excited to offer child care, senior care, and household help. I’ve been babysitting since I was 24, and I’ve cared for children of all ages, from newborns to toddlers and even twins. I speak English, Thai, and Cambodian, so I can connect with different families. I enjoy doing fun activities with kids like crafts, tutoring, and dance lessons, as well as playing games that help them learn. I can also help with cooking, cleaning, and senior care. I’m comfortable working with pets, too! If you need a reliable and caring sitter, I’d love to help your family.

“We have known Lalida for awhile and she’s been great with our two kids. She is attentive and asks all the right questions, willing to help and very kind and nurturing. She is fun and is playful so our kids like having her around ”

Joovana 1 review
$35 per hour for 1 child

Hi Bay Area families,🌉 I’m Joovana, I’m a mom, a mother’s helper, and someone who genuinely loves taking care of kids and helping families.🤍 I’ve been caring for children for over 20 years and have had the opportunity to help more than 100 families through Care and Nextdoor, I have caring for everyone from newborns to teenagers. I was a Sunday school teacher for 8 years as well. I’m the kind of person who likes to jump in and help wherever I’m needed. Need someone to pick up the kids, run to the grocery store, help with potty training, change diapers, clean bottles, do laundry, fold and put clothes away, tidy up, or even make dinner? I’m happy to help. Being a parent is already hard, while juggling with work, life and family, let me help you! And if your kids just want someone to hang out and play with them, I’m there for that too! I love reading, playing, getting outside, doing activities, and just being present with kids. I’m not on my phone while I’m caring for them, and I’m happy to follow your family’s preferences when it comes to screen time and routines. I’m also a mom to 5 great kids, my oldest is 21 and youngest is 3, so I understand how much an extra set of reliable hands can mean! I have a clean driving record, I love organizing and helping manage a home, and most importantly, I really love kids. Oh, and I’m CPR certified! Whether you need a mother’s helper, house manager, part-time help, date-night care, or simply someone to come in and make your day a little easier, that’s exactly what I’m here for. You’ll find someone reliable, friendly, caring, and ready to help wherever you need me. ❤️ I live in San Mateo, and willing to drive up to 15 miles to help you.🤍

“Joovana has worked with our family for more than a year, caring for our son from when he was about 9 months old until he recently started school. She has been a wonderful caregiver and is genuinely loving, patient, and caring with children. Our son is usually very cautious around people he meets for the first time and normally takes a while to warm up. We were very impressed that Joovana was able to make him feel comfortable enough to nap with her on the very first day they met. From the beginning, she built a very special and trusting relationship with him. Joovana has been great to work with, and we always felt that our son was in caring and capable hands. Even now that he is in school and doesn’t see her regularly, he still sometimes says Joovana’s name at home, which says a lot about how much he likes and remembers her. We are very grateful for the care and love Joovana has given our son over the past year and would happily recommend her to other families looking for a kind and dependable caregiver.”

"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)."
