Sarah $45 per hour for 1 child

Hi Families! I’m Nanny Sarah, 18 years experience. I have seen and done it all! I’m a professional contract Nanny. I have worked with multiples, twins and premature infants. Families describe me as not only a nanny but an educator as well. I’m looking for a full time position with a family that has a newborn that can commit to a few years until the child attends school. My kiddos are private school ready at 3 years old. They learn age appropriate physical and mental milestones. I take them on age appropriate outings such as parks, library, beach, zoo, music class, etc. I do sleep/nap training, self feeding training as well as potty training. I also teach them age appropriate speech and language development. Daily light housekeeping such as cleaning the kitchen, children play areas and bedroom, laundry, etc. I make learning and playtime lots of fun! We get messy, do art projects, sing and dance. I’m on the floor playing and interacting with the children, no TV. My kiddos are smart, confident, inclusive, and more importantly polite. They don’t go through toddler tantrums because they are able to communicate what they need and want. I am willing to travel on family trips. More about me: My spouse and I love to travel and go on outdoor adventures. I live in Alameda and enjoy all that the Bay Area has to offer such as farmers markets, hiking and events. I love to cook! I’m vegan. We have two dogs, no children. I have a BA from the University of Minnesota . LGBTQ

Hello! My Name is Storm, a theatre artist and educator based in the Bay Area; I provide childcare and home management services. Working with children brings me so much joy, and I've been caring for little ones for over 6 years. I'm experienced with various developmental stages- from babies through elementary-aged children.

Noluthando $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Noluthando Zulu(Nolu),and I am a warm, responsible, and caring childcare provider currently working as a nanny,and a retired Au pair. I genuinely love working with children and enjoy creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where they can feel comfortable, happy, and cared for. I have hands-on experience caring for infants, babies, and toddlers, including children from newborn age through the toddler years. Through my experience as an au pair, I have become comfortable with the everyday responsibilities of caring for little ones, including feeding, diapering, bathing, nap routines, playtime, preparing simple meals, and keeping children's spaces tidy and organized. I understand that every child is different, especially babies, and I believe in being patient and attentive to their individual needs. I am comfortable following a family's established routines and communicating with parents throughout the day so they can feel confident knowing their little one is in good hands. I am also happy to help with light household tasks related to the children, such as cleaning up after meals, washing bottles, organizing toys, doing children's laundry, and keeping the child's areas neat. As someone who has worked closely with families, I understand how important it is to find someone who is not only good with children but also reliable, trustworthy, communicative, and respectful of the family's home and parenting style. My goal is always to make parents feel supported while providing their children with loving and attentive care. I am currently available for occasional, part-time, and full-time childcare opportunities and would love the opportunity to meet your family, learn about your childcare needs, and see if we could be a good fit.

"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)."
