Booked by 3 families in San Leandro, CA

Hi! My name is Alma , I have extensive experience caring for children ranging from newborns to seventeen years. My first babysitting jobs was at the age of fifteen, then I’ve raised five kids of my own. When all my children were old enough, I took care of a family who had a three month old child when I first started working for them, they had two other children while I was taking care of their eldest child. I took care of their newborn children until the oldest sibling was seventeen. I started as a nanny ,however, the job turned into a family assistant/ nanny as I ran the house hold and helped with families personal matters.

Alma was very patient and attentive in caring for our six month old.

CURRENTLY OUT OF TOWN Hello! My name is Katya and I have been taking care of kids for over 10 years. I am comfortable caring for babies and children 6 months and older. I have completed 3 Early Childhood Education courses at Merritt College: 1.) Childhood Development 2.) The Child, the Family and the Community 3.) Infant and Toddler Care With children I enjoy neighborhood park excursions, reading, drawing 🎨ballet dancing 🩰and playing in gardens with sticks bugs and leaves 🌿🐞🪵🍃. I am dedicated to empowering children to identify and express their emotions and to be curious about the world around them. I would describe myself as calm, introverted and low-key. However, I am very comfortable setting boundaries with children when needed and using firm but positive reminders about house rules and playing/sharing gently with siblings ☺️ I have a Masters degree from San Francisco State University in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. I am a Bay Area native and prefer getting bookings in San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley or Albany :) While I do live in Oakland, I am a pro at getting quickly by public transit to SF 🚂🚍👍 and always give myself plenty of time.

Vania helped out while our regular nanny was out. She was on time, flexible (changing hours, meeting at the park instead of house), and great with the kids.

✨ Moms of Oakland / SF — Your Dream Nanny Might Be Right Here ✨ If you’re looking for a highly experienced, calm, and engaging nanny who truly becomes part of the family, I may be the person you’ve been hoping to find. I’m currently seeking a part-time or full-time position, ideally in Oakland, but open to San Francisco for the right family. A little about me: • 10 years of professional nanny experience with incredible Bay Area families • CPR & First Aid certified • Extensive experience with newborns, infants, toddlers, and preteens • Confident with sleep training, developmental milestones, structured routines, and gentle guidance • Experienced with tutoring, homework support, and school-age structure • Known for creating calm, organized, happy environments for kids to thrive What families tend to love about working with me: • I’m very reliable and communicative (parents never have to wonder how their kids’ day went) • I focus on developmental play, outdoor activities, reading, creativity, and emotional growth • I help keep kid spaces organized and support the flow of the household • I’ve maintained long-term relationships with many past families, and still regularly help them with date nights and extra care Childcare is something I genuinely love — I take pride in creating a safe, nurturing environment while helping kids grow into confident little humans. I’m happy to provide excellent references from past families who can speak to my experience and character. If you think we might be a good fit, feel free to comment or message me — I’d love to connect and learn about your family. 🤍

"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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

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)."
