*** Pease note that currently my availability is limited to only weekend babysitting care.*** Hello, my name is Clara, I have worked with children for the past 12 years. My childcare experience varies in ages from infant, toddler, preschool, and after-school age in a center-based setting. I also have experience with after-school pick-ups and caring for the child in evening hours until parents return home from work, weekend babysitting, and the occasional date nights for parents. Although I do not have kids of my own, I have gained valuable knowledge and experience. Through my education, hands-on experiences, and most of all the children in my care. I have learned from them what helps them grow and learn. During my time working with young children, I enjoyed building healthy interactions and relationships. A few activates I like to engage in during my time with the children are arts & crafts, storytime, talking nature walks, and sensory activities just to name a few. I speak both English and Spanish. I was born and raised in Californian by two loving parents and I am the youngest of four. Currently, I'm working at a center for infants and young toddlers. In the future, my goal is to become an elementary teacher where I can continue to forester the learning of children. The field of early childhood education is my passion. Caring for young children would be is so much more to me than just a job; it would mean a lifetime of experience for my future endeavors. I would love to make a difference in your little one's life. Thank you. :)

I have about two years of experience caring for families outside and within urban sitter with CPR certification and a clean driving record. I have experience working at a day center and as a teachers assistant with special needs children. I’ve developed strong childcare expertise with managing routines, engaging with children through educational and playful activities. Alongside my work in childcare, I am pursuing a college degree in psych, focusing on child development. However, i am currently taking a gap year. I am also a highly responsible, consistent, nurturing, and supportive individual who takes pride in being apart of children’s lives!

“Nat was absolutely amazing, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment she arrived, she was warm, professional, and incredibly attentive. She took the time to understand all of our instructions and followed them carefully, which immediately gave us peace of mind. She was also wonderful with our dog, Brody. Nat was so patient, gentle, and caring with him that he quickly became comfortable in her presence. Most importantly, she was fantastic with our son. Toddlers can definitely have their moments, and our son had a few emotional outbursts while we were away. Nat handled each one with incredible patience, kindness, and compassion. She never seemed flustered and approached every situation with a calm, nurturing attitude that made us feel completely confident he was in great hands. It’s not easy finding someone who is both dependable and genuinely caring, but Nat exceeded all of our expectations. We truly appreciated her attentiveness, communication, and the level of care she provided to our entire family. We will absolutely be using Nat again in the future and are looking forward to having her back. We highly recommend her to any family looking for someone who is trustworthy, patient, compassionate, and exceptional with children and pets.”

Loving and Calm Childcare Provider | Experienced Nanny & Mom Hi, my name is Nceba. I was born and raised in South Africa and have worked as a professional childcare provider in the Bay Area since 2019. I’m also a proud wife and mom to a sweet toddler, which has given me an even deeper understanding of child development and the day-to-day needs of babies and young children. I trained at the Au Pair Training School in New York through Cultural Care, where I learned how to support children through different developmental stages. With nearly a decade of childcare experience, I especially enjoy caring for infants and toddlers ages 6–24 months. As a mother, I also bring first-hand experience with newborn care and toddler milestones. Experience Highlights: * Former live-in au pair for two children, ages 5 and 7 * More than six years of professional nanny experience with Bay Area families * Older sister to five siblings, giving me years of natural, hands-on childcare experience * Mom to a toddler, with real-life experience from the newborn stage through toddlerhood What I Offer: I enjoy creating a safe, loving, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable and cared for. Depending on their age, our days may include reading, singing, sensory play, baby or toddler massage, outdoor walks, creative activities, and early learning through play. For long-term positions, I’m also happy to help with child-related chores such as preparing children’s meals, organizing their belongings, doing their laundry, and keeping their play and eating areas tidy. About Me: Families describe me as calm, patient, dependable, and nurturing. Outside of childcare, I enjoy art and visiting museums. I speak English fluently, as well as Zulu, Xhosa, and Afrikaans. I currently freelance remotely and also work occasionally with a wonderful family who allows me to bring my toddler. This arrangement has worked beautifully for everyone and has created a great partnership between our families. Although I’m not actively seeking just any position, I’m always eager to help when I meet a wonderful family and we feel like a genuinely great match. My long-term goal is to become a postpartum doula so I can provide compassionate, knowledgeable support to both mothers and babies during the early stages of life.

“Nonceba is awesome! My kids loved her and the baby. I think they have a new favorite sitter now. Thanks for the help, and the kids can't wait until you come back again!”

Hello, my name is Tatianna, I am a college graduate from Ottawa University Arizona and just moved back to the bay! (Baby sat through UrbanSitter in Az as well) I am offering childcare, senior care, and household services. I love to help out families in need! I love babysitting, I have been babysitting for members in my family since I was 14. I watched kids from newborns through high school. Some responsibilities I’ve had to take on while babysitting have been making meals, bath time/play time along with age appropriate activities, driving kids to and from school, and also to any practices that they may have whether it’s sports, dancing, and or arts. Not only am I passionate about my babysitting, I love to help take care of the elder. I love to cook, I love to clean, and I love to run errands wherever I need to go. I am not allergic to any animals. I love dogs and cats.

Booked by 6 families in San Lorenzo, CA

Hi Parents, I’m Sofia! I’m offering childcare, pet sitting, light household chores, etc. I am bilingual in English and Tagalog but also speak some Spanish. One thing about me is that I’ve always loved playing and being around kids since I was a teen. I’ve learned a lot about being patient with them, and I think that’s one of the most important things as a nanny. My experience in babysitting has included working with ages newborn-10 years! I am currently working with 17 month old twins and love it! I met them when they were 2 months old so I have lots of experience with babies! I’ve been babysitting for almost 6 years now. I’ve worked both full time and part time with a few families all ranging from 1-4 kids at a time. I am also willing to work occasional date nights, or if you just simply need someone to cover for a day. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school and after school sports/activities, light home schooling, crafts, keeping kids active (walks, hikes, adventures.) changing diapers, feeding lunch and snacks, meal prepping and just making sure they are good throughout the day. I have worked with families outside of UrbanSitter but have also met some amazing families from this community. I understand that working with kids requires a lot of patience and I believe I have abundance of it. The parents I have worked with would say I work well under pressure and really good at staying calm when things get chaotic. I truly love being around kids! At family gatherings, you’ll always find me playing with the kids and keeping them entertained. I am also more than willing to help tackle any household chores, grocery shopping, and errands you may not have had time for. I will always find something to do (when kids are napping, or not around). I’d love to make things easier for your family and help in anyway I can! I’m easy going, and very understanding. I will absolutely treat and love your kids like they are my own because I know it’s tough to trust a stranger - I will be nothing but a great help and addition to your family. :) Another bonus is I don’t mind being around dogs and cats, I love fur babies as well, and would be willing so pet sit for you. I can provide you other references if needed outside of the ones that are on my profile. Please free to reach out if you think it will be a good fit and I would love to schedule a time to chat with you :)

"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)."
