Camila Richmond
$26 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Camila, and I offer child care and household support services. I love working with children and have experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids in a daycare setting. My responsibilities have included supervising meals and playtime, diaper changes, potty training support, preparing nap areas, helping with nap time routines, and keeping spaces clean and organized. I’m very comfortable supporting daily routines and creating a safe, structured, and caring environment for children. I enjoy doing arts and crafts, reading, outdoor play, and fun learning activities that help kids stay engaged and creative. I can also help with homework support, basic tutoring, and maintaining routines. In addition to childcare, I can assist with household tasks such as light cleaning, organizing, dishes, laundry, and meal prep support. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and comfortable helping families stay organized and on track throughout the day. I have a background in medical assisting and have completed externships at Lifelong Medical Care Clinic and B12 Love Lounge, which strengthened my skills in safety, communication, and caregiving. I currently also work as a lead coach at The Practice Space, where I support communication, confidence-building, and responsibility. I’m comfortable working with pets and happy to help wherever I’m needed to support the family.

Hello! My name is Issalina and I am a third year student at San Diego State University. I am from the Bay Area and have been babysitting for seven years, along with pet sitting. I enjoy being around kids and helping out in any way I can to ensure they are having a great time while I’m with them! My most recent job at home was working at a community pool where I worked at the front desk and was surrounded by kids and families. I am a very nurturing, confident, and friendly person to be around. I’d love to meet you!

Emily Novato
$35 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Emily, I’m 20 years old, and I offer childcare and household assistance. I enjoy working with children and have plenty of hands-on experience. I’ve helped care for my younger brother, who is now 8, since he was a baby. With that I’ve developed a lot of patience, creativity, and a strong understanding of children’s needs at different ages. I love engaging kids in activities like arts and crafts, reading, and helping with homework. I also have experience working with another family, where my responsibilities included driving children to and from after-school activities, assisting with school assignments, and helping maintain a structured, supportive environment. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to assist with household tasks such as cooking and cleaning. I’m very flexible, dependable, and comfortable working in homes with pets of all kinds. I would love the opportunity to support your family and create a safe, fun, and positive environment for your children.

$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in San Rafael, CA

Hi! I’m Gaby. I’m 23 years old. I am bilingual. I’d love to help out a family in need of a babysitter/nanny. I am currently working for a family but looking for some extra hours during the week. I have hands-on experience with children of all ages—from toddlers to pre-teens. I worked at the Bay Area Discovery Museum running summer camps in the year of 2019 & 2020. I’ve worked for 3 families. During my times with those families, I’ve provided care, fed children, put them to bed as well as prepared food. I always aim to create a safe, warm, and fun environment, and I’d love to chat more if you’re looking for someone dependable and kid-friendly!

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
