Raquel 5 reviews
Alameda
$35 per hour for 1 child

I have been working with children for 10 years, from newborns to teenagers. I have supported many families as a Newborn Care Specialist, and I currently work in an after-school daycare program with children ages 0 to 4 years, which allows me to have daytime availability for full-time nanny positions. I love dogs and am very punctual, reliable, and communicative.

Raquel took care of my daughter Alice for a little over a month, and I only have positive things to say! She is extremely responsible, caring, and has excellent communication with parents. At first, my daughter cried a lot because she struggles with being away from me, but Raquel was very patient and managed to gain both her trust and mine. She was always attentive and often did even more than what we had agreed upon when it came to Alice’s care. It was truly a wonderful experience having her with us, and I’m only sad that our schedules no longer align. I highly recommend her!

Hello! I have ample experience working with kids in various settings ranging from outdoor education, working in schools, babysitting, camp counseling, and tutoring. I believe in child growth and development through play and fostering social and emotional learning. I have several years of experience with all ages ranging from 6 months old to 17 years old. I am also CPR certified and have my Wilderness First Responder Certification. I have a clean driving record and reliable transportation. I believe that previous families that I have provided care for would describe my personality as empathetic, kind, and patient. In my spare time, I love all outdoor activities and am passionate about cooking and crafting! Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions, I look forward to connecting!

$28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm a recent UC Santa Cruz graduate with a degree in Psychology. I’ve always loved working with kids, and during college, I gained hands-on experience at a daycare where I learned how important patience, safety, and fun are when caring for children. That experience, along with my studies in child development, inspired me to start this babysitting service. I’m reliable, responsible, and genuinely enjoy helping kids learn, play, and grow. Whether you need a sitter for after school, weekends, or the occasional night out, I’m here to help. I’m also planning to go into healthcare, so caring for others is a big part of who I am. My goal is to create a safe, happy environment for your child—and peace of mind for you.

Kaia has always been great with kids. She has babysat for cousins, and through her school, kids ranging from 2-14 while she was in high school. In college, she worked in the childcare at her local gym as she worked towards her psych and human development degree. She is reliable, on time, uses common sense and critical thinking, and builds rapports with kids easily.

Booked by 1 family in San Francisco, CA

Hi there 👋🏻 Mi name is Angui, I’m 31 years old and I’m Colombian. I have 5 years of experience here in the USA. I am currently looking for families to work with on an occasional, part-time, or "date night" . I love babies and children (as well as pets!). I am an active person; I enjoy spending time outdoors and letting children explore and create wonderful memories. I consider myself responsible, affectionate, punctual, and kind. I was an au pair for a year and a half, taking care of a baby and a toddler. I worked as a nanny for three years with a family in Montclair, and currently I help in my church’s nursery once a month. I have fingerprint clearance and a driver’s license with a clean record. ☺️

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
