Booked by 6 families in Santa Clara, CA

I am a caring, responsible, and energetic childcare provider who genuinely loves working with children. I have experience caring for children of all ages, from 1-month-old infants to older kids, including twins and multiple children at the same time. One of the things I enjoy most is playing with children and becoming a kid alongside them. I love exploring their world, using imagination, discovering new things together, and creating fun, meaningful experiences. Whether it’s through games, music, arts and crafts, reading, outdoor activities, or creative play, I truly enjoy helping children learn, grow, and have fun while feeling safe and supported. I strive to create a nurturing, engaging, and positive environment where children can develop confidence, curiosity, and happiness. I am patient, organized, dependable, and committed to supporting each child’s well-being and development. I hold a degree in Social Communication and Journalism, with a specialization in Digital Communication and Interactive Media. I also have excellent references that reflect my dedication, professionalism, and strong work ethic. Currently, I am studying English and can also introduce children to Spanish in a fun and natural way. I enjoy cooking and maintaining clean, organized spaces to help create a comfortable and positive environment for both children and families. My goal is to ensure your children are happy, safe, and well cared for while giving you complete peace of mind, knowing they are spending their time with someone who genuinely enjoys sharing, learning, exploring, and having fun with them every day.

“Great! Maria was super sweet, very helpful with the kids- jumped in and took over. She watched an infant and a toddler. Our toddler enjoyed playing with her and she was able to get him to sleep on time! We recommend her 100%!”

Xitllali $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Xitllali but you can call me Lali. I’m currently a student at De Anza College majoring in History. I am offering childcare services for children of all ages. I have experience babysitting a 1-year-old I cared for a few summers ago for a family friend, as well as regularly helping take care of my 2-year-old cousin, Enzo. My experience includes supervising toddlers, but I’m also comfortable with older children and different age ranges. My responsibilities have included playtime, meals, naps, and making sure kids are safe, engaged and cared for. I enjoy being a babysitter and spending time with children of all ages. I like being hands-on, whether that means playing, helping with routines, or just keeping things calm and fun. I’m patient, responsible, and easy to work with. I have a driver’s license with a clean driving record, which allows me to help with transportation if needed. I have basic knowledge of Spanish and can help with simple communication or homework if needed.

Hello, my name is Anaisa , and I am very interested in working as a nanny. I am a caring, responsible, and patient person who enjoys spending time with children and helping them grow in a safe and positive environment. I have a strong sense of responsibility and understand how important it is to create a space where children feel comfortable, supported, and happy. I enjoy engaging kids in fun and educational activities like reading, playing games, helping with homework, and encouraging creativity. I also take safety very seriously and always make sure children are supervised and well cared for. I am reliable, organized, and able to follow routines set by parents, while also being flexible when needed. I can assist with light household tasks related to the children, such as preparing simple meals, cleaning up after activities, and keeping their space tidy. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy building connections with children and being someone they can trust and feel comfortable around. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide the best care possible for your child. Thank you for your time and consideration.

“Anaisa was a wonderful babysitter for my 3 kids. We all loved her and we all still stay in contact, the kids ask to call her all the time so we FaceTime with her on a regular basis. If she didn’t move to the Bah area I would still have her with my family.”

"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)."
