Bringing joy and nurturing care to children has been my passion for the past nine years. My experience spans all ages, from newborns to pre-teens, and I am comfortable caring for up to three children at a time. I'm patient, creative, and approachable, and I believe in making a positive impact on each child's life. I enjoy playing outdoor games, educational activities, and even some technology-based games! I'm also comfortable enforcing household rules. Communication is key, so l provide regular updates via text or phone, and I'm happy to follow your preferred method. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, have my own car, and am comfortable with pets. As a bonus, I speak Spanish and Sign Language (ASL). Knowing I can support your family and provide a safe, fun, and reliable childcare option brings me immense satisfaction.

Yesica was a wonderful sitter for our two kids. She was perfectly on time and immediately started playing fun games outside. She even did a cute hairstyle on our toddler (which is very difficult to do!!) we can’t wait to have her back over soon.

I am local to Marin/SF and a Mom to my daughter who is now in college. In addition to being a parent, I have been babysitting off and on for many years. I have pretty high standards as far as child care goes. I think it is important to engage (not sit on your phone), and make sure the children feel well looked after. I like to check in via text now and again during the job so the parents feel connected and reassured. I'm happy to be in a home with dogs as I have two sweet dogs of my own. ***PLEASE NOTE: I expect to be paid for the full time that you book, regardless if you return home early- appreciate your understanding on this. Thanks!

Cassandra is incredible - our kids felt comfortable with her immediately and love hanging out with her. She’s trustworthy, reliable, and always warm and patient with the kids. Highly recommend Cassandra!

Hi there!! My name is Ray, and I’m an experienced nanny based in the Bay Area. I’m currently looking for full-time, part-time, or occasional babysitting opportunities. I’ve worked with infants, toddlers, and school-aged children, and I genuinely love being around kids. Before moving to the U.S., I was an English teacher for children in Brazil, which taught me how to connect with kids through patience, creativity, and fun learning experiences. I’m CPR/First Aid certified, a confident and safe driver with a clean driving record, and I speak both English and Portuguese. Whether it’s playing outside, reading books, doing arts and crafts, going to the park, helping with homework, or simply keeping a good routine, I always try to create a fun, safe, and caring environment where children feel comfortable and happy. I’m also happy to help with meal prep, school pick-ups and drop-offs, children’s laundry, light housekeeping related to the kids, and anything else that helps make your family’s day run more smoothly. The families I’ve worked with would describe me as reliable, responsible, patient, and easy to communicate with. I have great references available, and I’d love the chance to get to know your family and see if we’d be a good fit!

Jessica was fantastic! Our 2.5 year old warmed to her immediately, and didn't even notice when we left, he was so engrossed with Jessica. She updated us via text after he went to bed, and the house was meaningfully cleaner than we left it when we got home. She is really great.

"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)."
