Valerie $35 per hour for 1 child

I am currently studying child and adolescent development and I have over 3 years of experience working with children professionally. My favorite thing about working with kids is the mutual learning that occurs! I love to find ways to connect through activities based on a child’s interest, whether it be baking, arts and crafts, enjoying nature or physical activity, i love to be involved! I think kids deserve to be heard, and to make decisions for themselves with guided options to choose from. I think freedom of expression and identity is incredibly essential to a young child or adolescence development and I am a number one fan of children taking the lead, and showing us how to show up better to suit their needs and talents as well! Important things to note: -I am allergic to pets, both cats and dogs so cannot work inside of homes with animals -I do not have a car but I have a drivers license and a sparkling clean driving record, and still drive often! -I am CPR and first aid certified -I am a full time student studying sociology and child and adolescent development and completing a social work and human services certification

Lillian $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Lillian, and I’m a caring, energetic, and reliable sitter with experience working with kids, pets, and families of all kinds. Growing up, I coached a soccer team for kids ages 5-9, which taught me patience, creativity, and how to keep kids engaged and having fun. I’ve also babysat children of various ages, so I understand how to adapt to different personalities and needs. In addition, I’ve cared for both dogs and cats, so I’m more than happy to help out with your furry family members. I pride myself on being responsible, organized, and warm, creating a safe and nurturing environment for kids to thrive in. Whether it’s playing games, helping with homework, or preparing meals, I always aim to bring a positive attitude and a sense of fun to every task. I’d love to help make your day easier by providing excellent care for your little ones! Feel free to reach out with any questions—I’m excited to work with your family!

Booked by 2 families in San Leandro, CA

My name is Palesa and I’m a 24-year-old nanny with over six years of hands-on childcare experience.

Hi there! I’m a warm, patient, and reliable caregiver who genuinely loves working with children and animals.

"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)."
