Booked by 2 families in San Jose, CA

Hello families!! A little about me before I get to know you and your little(s)! 💛 I am 27 and offering childcare, pet and household assisting services! I've been a sitter/nanny/family assistant for neighborhood/nearby families, family friends, and relatives for the past 7-8 years! Love it so much! Currently a Household Manager to a HNW family in SJ (signed NDA). Actively babysit a 3 year old (since 4 months) in MV, a sitter for 3 siblings ages 3,6 +8 in LG. Previously a nanny/FA to infant twins in Menlo! I taught swim lessons for ages 2-13 and volunteered with Special Olympics as a lifeguard (6 years) previously! My responsibilities have included diaper changes, meal prep/cooked, feedings, child safety, nurturing big emotions, errands, grocery shopping, schoolwork, laundry, bed/bath time routines, home organization and everything in between! 🧻🍳🍼📝 🧺🫧🦮💤 My loved ones would describe me as warm, loving, nurturing, patient, organized, attentive and funny! I cannot wait to meet you and your little(s)!! I currently hold a part time job as a Household Manager for a HNW family, and go to school part time with varying hours, so a flexible family availability is ideal! I am interested in transitioning to a full time family assistant position (with benefits) if the opportunity presents itself! I have fastrak so commuting isn't an issue if I applied to your specific care opportunity! (SF families I have residences near Coit Tower + Noe Valley, so the travel is easy!) if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask!

Booked by 10 families in San Jose, CA

- CPR/First Aid Certified - Love infants-older children & pets - Last minute or planned jobs! - French/other academic tutoring & sports - Happy to help with cleaning, cooking, feeding, driving, playing (inside or out), bathing I absolutely love teaching and taking care of children. I have been babysitting, caretaking, and tutoring for 15+ years and have a super flexible schedule, making it easy for parents to avoid rigid timing expectations. I have my own car and an abundance of energy to pour into your kiddos! I speak French conversationally and enjoy any academic or other learning/sports/activities you would like them to work on. Engaging in a way that they’re seen, heard, and valued is something I delight in and prioritize. I value any opportunity to serve children or parents and have worked in directing children's programs, as a nanny, and as a babysitter all throughout the years. I have experience with newborns, toddlers, and kids of all ages as I regularly take care of children.

“Maggie has been helping us out fora year and a half. She has become a wonderful friend to us and our children. We highly recommend her.”

Olivia $32 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Olivia, and I’m currently looking to fill my morning availability from 6:00 AM to 8:00 AM, with a little flexibility until 8:30 AM if needed. I’m also available for evening shifts from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM. If your family needs help with early mornings, evenings, or simply a reliable caregiver before or after work, I’d love to help! I’m passionate about creating a calm, safe, and positive start to each child’s day. I believe every child is unique and deserves care that fits their individual personality and needs. Whether it’s helping with morning routines, preparing breakfast, reading books, or keeping little ones engaged before school or daycare, I strive to make mornings as smooth and stress-free as possible for both children and parents. I value open communication, reliability, and building trusting relationships with families. My goal is to provide dependable care while creating a warm, supportive environment where your child feels comfortable, confident, and ready for the day ahead.

"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)."
