Shayna $35 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I am an experienced nanny with an associate's degree in Early Childhood Education. I am currently pursuing my bachelor's degree at San Francisco State University, where I am studying Child and Adolescent Development with a concentration in Community, Health and Social Services. I spent my freshman year of college working at a Child Study Center, where I was trained by teachers with decades of experience. I have experience caring for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers in both professional and home settings. I also have experience working with elementary and middle school aged children as a nanny. During Covid, I worked as a live-in nanny for an infant/toddler in Austin, TX. After returning to the East Bay, I continued caring for children from infancy through middle school. I am trained in anti-bias education, age appropriate curriculum planning, and supporting children's social emotional development. I am looking for a nannying job while I am pursuing my bachelors degree.

Mele $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Mele, and I'm a 19-year-old college student. I worked as a teacher's assistant at Step Ahead Learning Center in Walnut Creek for 2 years, and I've also been nannying for the past 3 years. I have experience caring for children of all ages, from 6 months to 10 years old. I truly enjoy nannying and tutoring—not only because it helps me pay for college, but also because I love working with kids. Tutoring has been especially rewarding because teaching concepts I'm learning in school helps reinforce my own understanding while supporting a child's learning and confidence. I come from a big family and have always loved spending time with my nieces and nephews, whether we're playing outside, doing crafts, reading, or going on fun outings. I strive to create a safe, caring, and engaging environment where children can learn, have fun, and feel supported. For references, please feel free to contact Lota Veimau, whom I worked with at Step Ahead Learning Center, at [removed] or [removed]. Thank you for your consideration! If you have any questions or would like to get in touch, you can reach me at (510) 571-0511 or [email protected].

Kathy $24 per hour for 1 child

l am currently a college student with a strong background in caregiving, stemming from my domestic upbringing and experiences. As the oldest of four, I helped my parents take care of my three younger siblings, which taught me responsibility, patience, and how to handle different age groups and personalities. I also have experience caring for my grandmother, where I help her with daily tasks, keep her company, and ensure she feels safe and supported. Through these experiences, I've learned how important it is to be dependable, kind, and attentive. I'm very friendly, organized, and proficient at multitasking. I value myself as someone others can rely on and trust. I have limited experience with pets, including cats and dogs, but I'm very willing to learn and follow instructions. Overall, my background has helped me develop strong caregiving skills, and I genuinely enjoy helping others. This lets me bring a positive attitude, strong work ethic, and a caring approach to everything I do.

Booked by 1 family in San Leandro, CA

Nurturing young minds is my passion, and I've dedicated the last 13 years to providing enriching care for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. I hold a college degree in education, multiple child development courses, up to date first aid and CPR certification, and have experience as a birth and postpartum doula. My duties vary depending on the child needs, age, family needs, but most importantly is to focus on the child’s well being and to create a safe, fun, and stimulating environment where they can thrive. I am comfortable caring for up to three children. I love engaging kids with outdoor activities, libraries, play grounds, museums, zoo. In most of my positions I have been required to drive, which I am happy to provide as well, and have excellent references. My goal is to support your family, and I look forward to building a caring relationship with your children!

"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)."
