Hello 😊! My name is Daniela, I am a 2nd year college student, focusing my studies on Child Development, Psychology, & Sociology. I am extremely passionate about the route I am taking, in terms of my education & the work I do within the elementary school I work in & the wonderful families I provide babysitting/nanny services to 🥰! I have over seven years of experience, both professional and personal, working with children, ranging from infants to teenagers. I’ve worked in school settings, nannied for multiple families, provided casual babysitting for date nights, and have also helped as a mother’s helper. My responsibilities have included supervising activities, helping with homework, preparing meals, engaging in crafts, supporting routines, and driving children to and from school or activities. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help with light cleaning, meal prep, organizing, and running errands. I am CPR/First Aide certified, have a valid driver’s license, and have my own reliable vehicle; all of which allow me to be prepared in case of any emergencies or any general errands at hand. I truly enjoy working with children and supporting families in any way I can. I’d love to speak more about how I can best help you and your family!

Booked by 4 families in San Carlos, CA

Hello, my name is Marisa. I currently run my own petsitting & dog walking business while nannying part time. I have over 15 years of experience babysitting and nannying, and I enjoy working with children of all ages! I have both personal and professional experience working with children who are neurodivergent, including children on the ASD spectrum and with ADHD. I am patient, caring, and compassionate, and I work well with parents/caregivers to meet the specific needs of their family! I am also skilled in managing school pick-up and drop-off routines for multiple children. In my free time I enjoy hanging out with my friends and cat, going to concerts, going to the movie theater to watch oldies, and playing claw machines at Round1. Please message me to double check availability, as my calendar may not always be up to date. Cancellation Policy: If bookings are cancelled by the parent/caregiver within 24 hours of the start time of the booking, I charge a fee of 50% of the total booking to help offset the loss of wages on short notice.

“Marisa was punctual, responsive and very sweet towards my son! We will be asking for her help again!”

"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)."
