Katia Teresa 2 reviews
$35 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 5 families in San Carlos, CA

My name is Katia Dedicated and caring teacher with over 18 years of experience working with children from newborns to 15 years old. Skilled and passionate about supporting children’s growth through educational and creative activities. Experienced nanny with strong communication and organizational skills. Certified in CPR and First Aid, ensuring a safe and nurturing environment for every child.

“Katia has been an incredible addition to our family, and I recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, capable, and dependable nanny. She has been exceptionally flexible with our family’s schedule, which has made a huge difference because of our variable work hours. She currently helps with our son before and after school, and she is seeking additional hours. Katia brings a wonderful energy into our home, and our son took to her almost immediately. As a preschool teacher, Katia has a strong understanding of early childhood development and knows exactly what to look for at each stage. This experience truly shows in her work. Our 2.5-year-old son has developed so many positive habits under her care, including washing his hands regularly, getting dressed, and building a sense of independence. We feel very fortunate to have her. I feel selfish not wanting to share her with another family, but I highly recommend her for her professionalism, flexibility, and wonderful personality.”

Karoline $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Karol. I’m originally from Brazil and I’m a caring, responsible, and attentive nanny with experience caring for babies, toddlers, and school-age children. I have a degree in Human Relations from Brazil and a background in Psychology studies. Next year, I will be continuing my Psychology studies at Foothill College. Because of my school schedule, I’m looking for a live-in or full-time position with a family that values clear communication and consistency. My classes are usually in the morning (around 9 a.m. to 12 or 1 p.m.), which allows me to be mostly available in the afternoons, evenings, and some weekends. I enjoy creating a safe, organized, and nurturing environment. I love engaging children in activities such as reading, arts and crafts, creative play, outdoor activities, and structured daily routines. I’m CPR trained and always focused on children’s safety and well-being. I’m reliable, patient, and communicative, and I truly enjoy supporting families by providing calm and loving care.

"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)."
