Hi my name is Karla! I offer childcare, light household services, pet care and open to more! I love being a babysitter and enjoy everything that comes with it. From newborn, toddlers, I’ve been watching kids for more than 6 years and it’s something I really enjoy and am passionate about. I’m currently in college and hope to open my own daycare once I finish school. Driving to and from school or any other activities (sports,school events etc.,) arts and crafts, helping with homework are all some of my responsibilities. I also speak Spanish! I also can assist with household tasks like cooking, cleaning and running errands. I can also provide references upon request :)

✨ Moms of Oakland / SF — Your Dream Nanny Might Be Right Here ✨ If you’re looking for a highly experienced, calm, and engaging nanny who truly becomes part of the family, I may be the person you’ve been hoping to find. I’m currently seeking a part-time or full-time position, ideally in Oakland, but open to San Francisco for the right family. A little about me: • 10 years of professional nanny experience with incredible Bay Area families • CPR & First Aid certified • Extensive experience with newborns, infants, toddlers, and preteens • Confident with sleep training, developmental milestones, structured routines, and gentle guidance • Experienced with tutoring, homework support, and school-age structure • Known for creating calm, organized, happy environments for kids to thrive What families tend to love about working with me: • I’m very reliable and communicative (parents never have to wonder how their kids’ day went) • I focus on developmental play, outdoor activities, reading, creativity, and emotional growth • I help keep kid spaces organized and support the flow of the household • I’ve maintained long-term relationships with many past families, and still regularly help them with date nights and extra care Childcare is something I genuinely love — I take pride in creating a safe, nurturing environment while helping kids grow into confident little humans. I’m happy to provide excellent references from past families who can speak to my experience and character. If you think we might be a good fit, feel free to comment or message me — I’d love to connect and learn about your family. 🤍

Booked by 3 families in San Lorenzo, CA

Hi! I’m Nelly — a 23-year-old CSU East Bay alum currently working toward getting into a Physical Therapy program. I’m super active and run both track and cross country, so I love bringing fun, positive energy into everything I do! Right now, I work at Chabot College as an Adaptive Physical Activity Instructor, where I support and work closely with individuals of all abilities. I also work in the nursery at my church caring for children ages 1–4, and I absolutely love working with babies and helping them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m really passionate about working with kids and hope to pursue a career in collegiate coaching someday. I already have 4+ years of experience coaching youth and enjoy creating a fun, supportive, and safe environment where kids can be active, build confidence, and just have a good time. Whether it’s playing outside, doing crafts, helping with routines, or keeping little ones entertained, I always try to make sure kids feel happy and cared for while parents feel at ease too!

“Our kiddo is not used to new people. Nelly did an amazing job taking her time with him and letting him warm up to her. By the time we got home, he kept asking for her to come back and play. Will definitely be hiring her again. Regular communication helped us feel comfortable going out for a bit.”

"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)."
