Athaliah $27 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Athaliah, a mother to a baby girl born May 28, 2026. I’m currently looking for work to support myself and my daughter and provide a stable future. Since I’m my daughter’s only caregiver, I wanted to ask if you would be comfortable with me bringing her with me while I work. It would mean a lot to me and would allow me to earn an income while caring for her. I’m a caring, patient, and dependable caregiver with experience taking care of babies, toddlers, and young children through helping family, friends and work over the years. I genuinely enjoy creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for children where they can feel comfortable, supported, and cared for. I also previously worked as a behavior technician supporting children with autism and Down syndrome, which helped me develop strong communication skills, patience, understanding, and the ability to adapt to each child’s unique needs and personality. I’m open to helping with childcare, tutoring/teaching, light housekeeping, house sitting, organizing, meal prep, and cooking as needed. I’m responsible, attentive, gentle, and always try to make families feel at ease knowing their children are in good hands. I value kindness, cleanliness, safety, and creating positive connections with both parents and children.

Eunice $36 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Eunice, and I’m a professional nanny and household manager with a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education and a minor in Special Education. I bring a thoughtful, developmentally informed approach to childcare, with experience caring for children from infancy through school age. I am passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel supported, understood, and confident to grow. I believe every child is unique, and I take the time to observe their interests and needs in order to guide learning through play, routine, and consistency. I value structure while remaining flexible and responsive to each child’s individual temperament. In my experience, children thrive when they feel secure and respected. I focus on building strong connections, supporting emotional regulation, and encouraging independence in age-appropriate ways. Whether it’s planning enriching activities, facilitating social outings, or supporting daily routines, I approach each day with intention and care. Along with childcare, I am experienced in household support, including child-related laundry, meal prep, organizing, and maintaining a clean and calm environment. I work collaboratively with parents and value open, respectful communication, always aiming to support the overall well-being of the family. Families would describe me as calm, reliable, attentive, and proactive. I take pride in being someone you can trust to care for your children with both professionalism and genuine warmth. I am currently seeking a long-term position in the East Bay and would love the opportunity to support a family in a meaningful and lasting way

🌟 Looking for New Families! 🌟 Hi! My name is Brooke. I'm originally from the Bay Area, spent the last five years in Denver, and recently moved back home. I've always loved nannying and babysitting. I have a background in theatre and love being creative, putting on shows, playing games, and using my imagination with the children I care for. I truly enjoy spending time with kids and often joke that I'm a kid at heart myself. 😊 I have an older sister, and when my cousin was born when I was 8 years old, I discovered how much I loved being around children. Watching her grow and spending time with her sparked a passion that eventually led me to nannying, which has been one of the most rewarding parts of my life. I consider myself highly responsible, dependable, and respectful of others' time. I pride myself on being a strong multitasker, a fast learner, and someone who can solve problems while still creating a fun, engaging environment for children. I communicate clearly, follow instructions well, and always strive to make life easier for the families I work with. One important boundary I have is that I do not provide care for sick children. Unfortunately, I tend to get sick easily, and when that happens it affects my ability to fulfill commitments to other families and responsibilities. If a child is actively sick when I arrive and I was not informed beforehand, I may need to leave. I greatly appreciate open communication regarding illness so that we can respect each other's time and expectations. I value reliability, honesty, and mutual respect, and I look forward to connecting with families who do as well. Feel free to reach out—I would love to chat and see if we're a good fit!

“Professional and thoughtful!”

I DO NOT ACCEPT BACKUP CARE JOBS FROM WELLTHY UNLESS FULL PAYMENTS ARE MADE END OF JOB & VIA ZELLE, All hours past 8hrs per day I charge an overtime rate. Hi parents, My name is Laisa. I’m a 35-year-old career nanny from Brazil with 20+ years of childcare experience, including more than 10 years specializing in infants and toddlers—an age group I truly love and where my passion for childcare lies. My caregiving style is loving, respectful, gentle, and responsive. I believe every child is unique, so I take the time to understand their individual needs, personality, and routines while following and respecting each family’s parenting style, values, and boundaries. I’m also flexible and adaptable, understanding that schedules and needs can change from day to day. I love supporting children’s development through meaningful interaction and age-appropriate activities, including talking, reading, singing, sensory play, and opportunities to build their language, motor skills, confidence, curiosity, and independence. I enjoy getting outside with children whenever possible, as well as creating engaging activities at home. I’m energetic, attentive, reliable, and committed to creating a safe, nurturing, and positive environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to explore and learn. Clear and open communication is very important to me. I want parents to feel informed and connected throughout the day, so I’m happy to share photos, videos, and a daily update covering their child’s activities, meals, naps, mood, and milestones. Most importantly, I see childcare as more than simply supervising a child. I strive to become a trusted partner to the family and to build a strong, respectful, and long-term relationship while providing the highest level of care. I take my commitments seriously and do not cancel unless there is an emergency. I also require agreed-upon hours to be guaranteed, NO BANKING OF HOURS! To respect my previous families’ privacy, I provide letters of recommendation upon request. Reference phone numbers are shared only after an in-person meeting or trial day, once we both feel it’s a good fit and would like to move forward. If my experience and style of caregiving align with your family’s values, I’d love to connect! Extras to consider: • $40/hr net minimum — W-2 or cash • Guaranteed hours • PTO & paid sick days • Federal holidays • Monthly stipend • Overtime at 1.5× after 8 hours/day, per California law Best, Laisa

“We had a very successful trial day with Laisa that led us to hire her as our part-time nanny. Laisa brought a gentle, patient, and inquisitive energy to caring for our 3-month old. She took all of our directions to heart and even sought out ways to help with additional baby-related chores. Our baby was very comfortable with Laisa and Laisa showered him in the near-constant interaction and attention he craves. Laisa has already worked so hard to accommodate our schedule and preferences. We can't wait to watch her relationship with our baby develop long-term. Highly recommend Laisa for part-time nannying, one-off babysitting days, or any other child-related 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)."
