Booked by 30 families in San Leandro, CA

Hello, dear families! My name is Bruna, and I’m 30 years old. I have a bachelor’s degree in social communication. I consider myself very open-minded, dedicated, easygoing, and proactive. I have more than 5 years of experience working with kids aged 1 to 12 years old, including special needs kids, particularly those on the spectrum of autism. I’m super patient and passionate about working with kids. I love playing and always strive to find new activities for the children, such as singing, dancing, reading, going to the library, and engaging to help with their development. I'm also a mom, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust to watch your little one. I enjoy working together with the parents to provide the best care for the kids and ensure they are growing up healthy and happy. During my free time, I love cooking, visiting museums, and going to the beach. I am fully vaccinated and take COVID-19 precautions seriously, so I would appreciate the same from the family. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to send me a message. I will be more than happy to talk and answer all your questions. Thank you so much for considering me. Bruna

Loving and Calm Childcare Provider | Experienced Nanny & Mom Hi, my name is Nceba. I was born and raised in South Africa and have worked as a professional childcare provider in the Bay Area since 2019. I’m also a proud wife and mom to a sweet toddler, which has given me an even deeper understanding of child development and the day-to-day needs of babies and young children. I trained at the Au Pair Training School in New York through Cultural Care, where I learned how to support children through different developmental stages. With nearly a decade of childcare experience, I especially enjoy caring for infants and toddlers ages 6–24 months. As a mother, I also bring first-hand experience with newborn care and toddler milestones. Experience Highlights: * Former live-in au pair for two children, ages 5 and 7 * More than six years of professional nanny experience with Bay Area families * Older sister to five siblings, giving me years of natural, hands-on childcare experience * Mom to a toddler, with real-life experience from the newborn stage through toddlerhood What I Offer: I enjoy creating a safe, loving, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable and cared for. Depending on their age, our days may include reading, singing, sensory play, baby or toddler massage, outdoor walks, creative activities, and early learning through play. For long-term positions, I’m also happy to help with child-related chores such as preparing children’s meals, organizing their belongings, doing their laundry, and keeping their play and eating areas tidy. About Me: Families describe me as calm, patient, dependable, and nurturing. Outside of childcare, I enjoy art and visiting museums. I speak English fluently, as well as Zulu, Xhosa, and Afrikaans. I currently freelance remotely and also work occasionally with a wonderful family who allows me to bring my toddler. This arrangement has worked beautifully for everyone and has created a great partnership between our families. Although I’m not actively seeking just any position, I’m always eager to help when I meet a wonderful family and we feel like a genuinely great match. My long-term goal is to become a postpartum doula so I can provide compassionate, knowledgeable support to both mothers and babies during the early stages of life.

“Nonceba is awesome! My kids loved her and the baby. I think they have a new favorite sitter now. Thanks for the help, and the kids can't wait until you come back again!”

Booked by 95 families in San Leandro, CA

Hi! My name is Wendy. I’m a 24-year-old Oakland native (turning 25 this year) with over 5 years of childcare experience and a deep passion for supporting children and families. I am also a proud mom to a six-month-old baby, which has strengthened my patience, attentiveness, and understanding of how important trust and communication are when caring for someone’s child. I recently completed two years as an AmeriCorps Student Support Specialist at an OUSD elementary school, where I provided behavior support, social-emotional support, and math interventions for students ages 4–12. I worked closely with teachers, administrators, and school psychologists to help students feel supported and successful. Following that role, I worked at Lodestar High School supporting students with diverse and more intensive behavioral and academic needs. That experience strengthened my skills in behavior management, de-escalation strategies, structured routines, and individualized support. I bring many years of babysitting experience through UrbanSitter, caring for children ages 1–16, along with hands-on newborn experience through my extended family and now as a mother. I am fluent in English and Spanish and come from a large extended family, which has shaped my nurturing and adaptable personality. I am committed to creating a safe, structured, and loving environment where children can thrive. I prioritize clear communication with families about routines, meals, and expectations because I understand that every family has unique parenting styles and needs. In addition to childcare, I also have experience and offer house sitting and pet sitting services for cats and dogs. I also have a background in housekeeping, so maintaining a clean and organized home is always part of my care. In my free time, I enjoy hiking and rock climbing and staying active outdoors. I look forward to supporting your family and providing dependable, thoughtful care for your children and home.

Hello! I’m seeking date-night, weekend and part-time sitting. Flexible schedule during school breaks and holidays! I coach preschool/ recreational gymnastics and support our camp program in Emeryville. I’m one of 7 kids and have 6 nieces & nephews! I completed my Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology with a K-12 School Counselor credential from USF. I’ve been an educator for over 20 yrs working as a teacher, school counselor, coach, tutor and nanny. My childcare experience started at age 12 as sitter in my neighborhood and watching my younger siblings. I provided part-time and full-time nannying, evening sitting, emergency/ back-up care and on-going sitting in the Bay Area, (Boston, MA), (Austin, TX), and my home state of Michigan.

"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."

photo of quoted parent Eric

"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)."
