Booked by 4 families in San Lorenzo, CA

Hello! I’m Carla but I prefer to be called by Carli. I considered myself as a reliable, caring, friendly and positive person who tries to make the best out of every situation. I’ve been taking care of newborns, infants, toddlers since I was 18 years old and I have experience on taking care of twins as well. In my free time I like to cook and bake, listening to music, go out with friends and family, reading, going hiking, etc. I really enjoy doing this activities with the kids too. The most important reason why I enjoy taking care of kids is that I love seeing how they develop and learn new things every day. Have a great day and thank you for taking time to get to know me a little bit better. I’m looking forward to hear from you. •I’m happy to work with families with pets. • I’m fully vaccinated. • Can provide references. • CPR certified Please contact me for more info.

“Carli was fantastic. She was energetic, responsible, and always positive. Our two busy boys - toddler and baby - both fell in love with her right away. She created adventures for them and ensured they’re active and happy while staying safe. Both boys have food allergies, and Carli’s thoroughness made us feel safe. She made mealtimes fun and both boys ate well. Carli also patiently read book after book with our oldest until he finally wanted to nap. In short, Carli was everything you could ask for in a nanny and we hope that she’ll come work with our family again soon.”

Hi! My name is Alma , I have extensive experience caring for children ranging from newborns to seventeen years. My first babysitting jobs was at the age of fifteen, then I’ve raised five kids of my own. When all my children were old enough, I took care of a family who had a three month old child when I first started working for them, they had two other children while I was taking care of their eldest child. I took care of their newborn children until the oldest sibling was seventeen. I started as a nanny ,however, the job turned into a family assistant/ nanny as I ran the house hold and helped with families personal matters.

“Alma was very patient and attentive in caring for our six month old.”

Booked by 9 families in San Lorenzo, CA

Hi! I’m a mom of four with many years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to teens. I’ve worked in both private and public schools and have spent the last 16 years as a full‑time nanny. Even with all that experience, I still approach every child with curiosity, patience, and a sense of fun. Families describe me as calm, steady, and very dependable. I love creating days that feel peaceful, engaging, and full of little adventures — reading together, exploring parks, doing simple crafts, listening to music, or just noticing the small things kids love to point out. I love answering their questions about the world around them. I believe in consistency and open communication, and I am happiest when I can blend into a family’s rhythm rather than change it. Outside of childcare, I train and compete with my dogs and enjoy being around all kinds of animals. I'm happy to help with pet care. I’d love to support a family who values kindness, reliability, and a warm, steady presence in their home. --Leslie CPR/FA certified, TrustLineRegistered, Reliable Fully Insured Vehicle Numerous Exemplary References

Booked by 12 families in San Lorenzo, CA

Hey, My name is Pride, and I'd love to be considered for your nanny position. I've been a childcare provider for 14 years and am a certified Birth & Postpartum Doula, Childbirth Educator, CPR/First Aid trained, and I also hold a diploma as an English teacher. I've spent much of my career caring for infants and young children, and I genuinely love supporting their growth and development. I provide a warm, patient, and nurturing environment where children feel safe, loved, and heard. I enjoy reading, singing, painting, and creative activities that encourage learning through play. My experience has taught me to be dependable, thoughtful, compassionate, and calm. I'd love the opportunity to learn more about your family and hope to hear from you. Thank you for your time! As a doula, I support families before and after birth, strengthening my patience, communication, and understanding of each child's unique needs. I would be honored to care for your little one and support your family.

“Pontsho (also called Pride) has been a godsend! My kids are 10yo and 12yo boys and we all felt really connected to Pride when we first met. Out of all the sitters we interviewed, my kids requested her above anyone else. And she's been just wonderful! She plays all-day-long games of Monopoly, takes the kids on long walks to playgrounds, reads stories, plays games, hangs out doing crafts and chatting, makes them lunch ... My kids are visiting their dad so i'm not around, but they call me every day and they're just really content and happy. It was hard to find someone from a distance and only meet her over FaceTime! But Pride's references were amazing and I can see why. Knowing that I can feel safe and comfortable from a distance is priceless.”

"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)."
