✨ 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. 🤍

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 15 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

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.

Hello parents, My name is Evelyn , I am a happy married woman and proud mom of two boys 20 and 24 years old looking and I’m looking for a long term full time nanny job. I have been working as a nanny for more than 25 years with kids as young as 2 months and up. I’ll be available to start with a new family/families in June 2026. I am bilingual Spanish-English, responsible, honest, loving, trustworthy, patient, CPR and first aid certified, also registered with Trustline. I’m up to date with all my vaccinations, including Covid. I have my own car, auto insurance, clean driving record, and excellent references from my previous jobs. I like to take kids to parks, zoo, walks, library and to any other place where they can have fun, explore and learn new things that will help them to grow. As a nanny, I always make sure kids under my care are safe, healthy and happy. Please let me know if you would like to know more about me and my experience. Thanks for your time and I look forward to hearing from you. Best, Evelyn

There is no caregiver like Karina. She looked after my children and was like a part of our family for six years. She is helpful, reliable, so easy to be around and wonderfully kind, loving but appropriately firm with children. My kids still love her and talk about her often. Friends of mine would see her with our kids at music class or the park and remark how great she was with them. You will not find a better fit for your childcare needs!

Greetings families! My name is Samantha but you all can call me Sam. I have been a career nanny for 10+ years. And have experience working with newborns, infant, toddlers, and older children all around. Plus, a background with children diagnosed with autism, ADHD, and bipolar disorder. I am transitioning to being a postpartum doula and newborn care specialist. Currently in the process of becoming certified with DONA International by the end of 2023. Am mom to a pitbull mix doggo and a domestic short hair kitty. :)

Sam was wonderful! She was prompt, professional, an excellent communicator, and she was terrific with my young toddler. I had never had a sitter before so I was incredibly nervous but I felt immediately comfortable leaving my kid with Sam. She updated us via text to let us know how it was going. Sam listened closely to any instructions I left, and followed them closely and respectfully, and let me know each thing was clear and understood. She was terrific playing with my toddler and I'd be thrilled to book her in the future.

"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)."
