Brenda 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

I love my job apasiónate for children’s 20 years of experience age 0-10 years, I register to thrust line , COR and FIRST AID certification, clean driving records, .etc

“Brenda has been our beloved nanny for the last 18 months, helping raise our daughter from 6 months until she turned two. There are many choices out there for caregivers, but after interviewing and meeting several, Brenda stood out to our family most notably for her warmth and loving personality. It was immediately clear to us that she would deeply love and care for our daughter. I also never had any doubt that my daughter was safe, learning and having fun. She helped my daughter through all of the milestones. Brenda is punctual and reliable and naturally good with young children. Our daughter is starting preschool and we are sad to end this chapter but intend to maintain our relationship for babysitting engagements in the future and would just say any family is lucky to have her.”

Kwanita $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi, My name is Kwanita! I have a healthcare background as a pharmacy technician and offer child care, senior care, pet care, and household help. My work experience has made me very responsible, attentive, and calm in environments where safety and trust are important. Kids tend to connect with me quickly because I’m warm, playful, and engaging. People often say I give “Miss Rachel” vibes because I bring a positive, encouraging energy that helps children feel comfortable while still maintaining structure and routines. I especially enjoy helping kids with homework, reading, crafts, and outdoor play. As someone who grew up neurodivergent, I have a lot of compassion for children who learn or process things differently and I’m very adaptable to different learning styles. I enjoy helping kids build organization techniques and simple routines that help them succeed in school. I also worked as a YMCA swim instructor during my junior year of high school, where I taught children water safety and swimming skills. That experience helped me develop patience, leadership, and the ability to keep kids engaged while prioritizing safety. I’m happy to help families with light household tasks such as meal prep, errands, laundry, and organizing. Through my healthcare experience, I’m also comfortable providing companionship and support for seniors. I enjoy helping families create calm routines and supportive environments where children and loved ones can thrive. I’m always happy to do a quick call beforehand so parents and children can feel comfortable before booking.

Shayna $35 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I am an experienced nanny with an associate's degree in Early Childhood Education. I am currently pursuing my bachelor's degree at San Francisco State University, where I am studying Child and Adolescent Development with a concentration in Community, Health and Social Services. I spent my freshman year of college working at a Child Study Center, where I was trained by teachers with decades of experience. I have experience caring for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers in both professional and home settings. I also have experience working with elementary and middle school aged children as a nanny. During Covid, I worked as a live-in nanny for an infant/toddler in Austin, TX. After returning to the East Bay, I continued caring for children from infancy through middle school. I am trained in anti-bias education, age appropriate curriculum planning, and supporting children's social emotional development. I am looking for a nannying job while I am pursuing my bachelors degree.

Reese Santina $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I am a 2025 graduate from UC Irvine, hoping to find a family I can babysit/nanny for on consistent basis during my gap year before law school. I am 23- years old and have 8 years of babysitting and nannying experience for younger children aged 6 months-13 years old, with experience nannying up to 3 children under my care at a time. I was a certified lifeguard at Sequoia Country Club for two years and worked at the child care center there during that time where I was responsible for the needs and safety of up to 15 children at a time. I also have over 500 hours of community service as a reading tutor for elementary school kids through the programs Reading Buddies and Reading Partners. I have also worked with children with disabilities as a respite care professional while in college. I love kids and would be happy to do school/ summer camp pickup and drop off, do fun crafts and games, and take them to the park. I have a 2020 model Tiguan Volkswagen with three rows of seats that will make it easy for me to go to and from your house. I also have my CPR and First Aid qualifications.

"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)."
