Booked by 3 families in San Leandro, CA

Hi! I’m Nelly — a 23-year-old CSU East Bay alum currently working toward getting into a Physical Therapy program. I’m super active and run both track and cross country, so I love bringing fun, positive energy into everything I do! Right now, I work at Chabot College as an Adaptive Physical Activity Instructor, where I support and work closely with individuals of all abilities. I also work in the nursery at my church caring for children ages 1–4, and I absolutely love working with babies and helping them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m really passionate about working with kids and hope to pursue a career in collegiate coaching someday. I already have 4+ years of experience coaching youth and enjoy creating a fun, supportive, and safe environment where kids can be active, build confidence, and just have a good time. Whether it’s playing outside, doing crafts, helping with routines, or keeping little ones entertained, I always try to make sure kids feel happy and cared for while parents feel at ease too!

“Our kiddo is not used to new people. Nelly did an amazing job taking her time with him and letting him warm up to her. By the time we got home, he kept asking for her to come back and play. Will definitely be hiring her again. Regular communication helped us feel comfortable going out for a bit.”

Booked by 3 families in San Leandro, CA

I'm 29yo and I live in Oakland. I have been working with kids for over 6 years and I have experiences with all ages (from newborns to teenagers). I have a nice background with kids, since I'm a Registered Nurse in Brazil and specialist in pediatrics and worked for 3 years in children's hospitals. I'm fully Covid vaccinated plus booster, flu shot and TDAP. I have great references who will be happy to talk with you, I'd love to share more infos, send me a message if you are interested in talking. I appreciate your time.

“Ana Luisa has a very sweet and calm presence and my kid had a great time hanging out with her and looked forward to it the night before, which is surprising since she has some separation anxiety still. Ana Luisa took our kiddo out to the park every day and kiddo came home happy and excited and very ready for her nap! I really appreciated that Ana Luisa has her own car so she's able to go on adventures. She was always on time and easy to communicate with. I highly reccommend Ana Luisa for any of your childcare needs.”

Wren 2 reviews
$35 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Wren I've been caregiving for pets, kiddos, people with social needs, and seniors my whole life! I started petsitting when I was 8 years old, and nannying when I was 11. I worked with seniors with dementia while in school to get my degree in social work, and worked as a full time social worker for years until I realized I prefer a varied schedule and hands on caregiving. I am very artistic and creative and love doing art with kids or special needs adults. I also love organizing and interior design to help make a space work for a persons individual needs. Thank you for considering me!

“Wren has done a great job sitting for my two cats. I have one indoor and one outdoor and I always feel at ease leaving them in Wren's care. The cats have grown to love Wren, as well! I definitely recommend Wren as a reliable, thoughtful sitter.”

Booked by 2 families in San Leandro, CA

Hi, my name is Jordan! I’m 31 years old, and I have always had a love for working with children and helping others. I worked as a teacher at EDCC, an after-school program in Dublin, for three years. During my time there, I worked with children of different ages, taught science activities, helped with homework, and enjoyed watching them learn and grow. I am currently in nursing school working toward becoming a nurse, and I also have five years of experience working as a Medical Assistant. My experience in both childcare and healthcare has taught me how important it is to be patient, caring, responsible, and attentive to the needs of others. I truly enjoy working with children, creating a safe and positive environment for them, and being someone families can trust and depend on.

"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)."
