Nicolle Andrea $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Nicolle, and I’m originally from Colombia. I’m fluent in English, Spanish, and French, and I have many years of childcare experience, from newborns to teenagers. I have worked in a daycare and cared for twins, triplets, and families in Switzerland and throughout the Bay Area. My office recently closed, and I am now a full-time mom to my 3-month-old daughter. I’m currently looking for a nanny share-style arrangement or a family comfortable with me bringing my daughter along. I especially love working on early childhood stimulation and creating age-appropriate activities that support children’s development. I also enjoy exploring new places with little ones, including parks, libraries, museums, and story times. I love keeping our days active, engaging, and fun while respecting each child’s routine and needs. I’m caring, responsible, organized, and very comfortable with infants and young children. I’d love to find a family where our little ones can grow, learn, and explore together. Feel free to reach out—I’d be happy to answer any questions!

Margarita $35 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in San Jose, CA

I am looking for a full time position as soon as I find a family. I am currently with my full time family but one parent is going to take over since they have the time off work, but they are keeping me until I find the right fit. I have worked with children for over 15 years. I have taught English in Japan and taught animation in Los Angeles. I have worked as a nanny for many years and have recent newborn and toddler experience. In my last job I was a nanny for two children on the spectrum, I helped also take care of their father who had Parkinson’s Disease. I love children and helping people. I am great as a sitter/nanny for any family, because of my experience working with lots of diverse families of many beautiful cultures. I am very respectful, kind, and I have a lot of knowledge in child development and nutrition. I love going on adventures or just staying home cooking and painting. I would love to send you my current resume and references including my current family as a reference as well. I hope to hear back if interested! 😊 Happy Nanny Hunting!

"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)."
