Rosmery $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a respectful and reliable worker able to give friendly assistance to parents with their children. I strongly dislike messes and am a very organized, neat person. I enjoy cleaning, cooking, folding clothing, and doing laundry. Anything that requires being organized, tidy, and neat is something I enjoy doing. In order to work in a clean kitchen when I'm cooking, I use any given opportunity to wash the dishes and wipe down the counters when there is something on the stove. In addition, I am quite crafty. I enjoy making things with my hands, whether it be with kids or adults-anyone of any age really. I enjoy having fun with children; reading, singing and dancing. I enjoy being silly and making kids laugh.  I love children, I'm very affectionate, and I'm dedicated to my work with them. I'm Salvadoran, and in my country, I used to babysit in schools, homes, and churches. I've been in the United States for two years, so I speak little English, but I'm studying to improve it. I love animals and I love caring for them so if you have any in your home I’d have no problem having them around. As I mentioned, Spanish is my native language, I speak it fluently. I know basic English enough to understand and participate in conversations as long as there are no big words used that I don't know. Working with children will help me practice, learn, and better my English.

Isiah $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Isiah — a firefighter/EMT in San Francisco and someone who genuinely loves working with kids. I’m active, social, and full of positive energy, and I bring that same attitude to childcare. I’ve spent years helping families with everything from after-school care to weekend babysitting, including experience with kids on the spectrum. I’m big on creating a safe, supportive, and fun environment — whether that’s playing outside, building Legos, going to the park, doing crafts, or making up silly games that keep everyone smiling. As a firefighter, I’m also very active, love going on little adventures, and enjoy keeping kids engaged with movement, imagination, and conversation. I’d love the chance to support your family, bring good energy into your home, and make your child’s day brighter!

Booked by 2 families in San Lorenzo, CA

Hello! I’m Celia Gutierrez – your warm and reliable bilingual nanny! I’m based in San Leandro and have been caring for children since 2019. I’m fluent in both Spanish and English, and I specialize in working with newborns, infants, and toddlers. Caring for children isn’t just a job for me—it’s a true passion. I love creating joyful, nurturing environments where little ones feel safe, supported, and happy. Every child is unique, and I take pride in learning their routines, interests, and needs. I help maintain consistent schedules, keep play and rest areas tidy, organize toys, and plan fun, engaging activities—from arts and crafts to outdoor play and nature walks. My goal is always to bring a sense of calm, structure, and positive energy to every day. A few things parents appreciate about me: • CPR & First Aid Certified • Basic Sign Language • Clean driving record & reliable personal vehicle • Excellent references from past families • Bilingual in Spanish & English for added communication and learning If you’re looking for a trustworthy, nurturing caregiver who will treat your child like family, I’d love to connect and see how I can support your household.

Celia is a very sweet, calm and patient babysitter. She got along immediately with my 4 yr old daughter and kept her entertained playing games and with arts/crafts. Celia is also very flexible and easy to communicate with. I will definitely have her back again!

Olevia $27 per hour for 1 child

Hi prospective families! My name is Olevia, and I’ve been a nanny for nearly five years. I have experience with children ranging from infancy to high school, though most of my background is with infants and toddlers. I graduated from the University of Arizona with my Bachelor of Science in Public Health and have recently been accepted into graduate school, where I will be pursuing my Master of Public Health in Health Policy. I am currently a nanny for a sweet 21-month-old boy, whom I’ve been with since he was 10 months old. This is the third family I’ve had the pleasure of working with through UrbanSitter. I’m now looking to pick up additional babysitting hours as I prepare to begin graduate school and continue supporting myself through my education. I’m originally from Oakland and grew up throughout the Bay Area. I began working in childcare during college, nannying and tutoring through local agencies. During summers, I worked as a camp counselor at my former elementary and middle school, averaging 35 hours a week. In addition to my professional experience, I’ve also helped my sister care for her now 4-month-old daughter since birth while her husband is deployed in the Air Force. I grew up playing competitive sports, primarily basketball, and I value staying active. I enjoy getting kids outside, going on walks, and planning age-appropriate activities that keep them engaged. I also love cooking and am happy to help with meal prep for children and families. I pride myself on being reliable, patient, and attentive, and I aim to create a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for every child I care for. I look forward to connecting with 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)."
