Booked by 3 families in Santa Clara, CA

Hi ! I'm Rina, and I provide childcare for children ages 1–13, as well as pet care services. Caring for children and animals has always been a natural part of my life. I come from a big family, so I've grown up surrounded by both ☺️ My childcare journey began at 10 years old when I learned how to care for my nephew, including changing diapers. By the age of 15, I was babysitting regularly, and I've been passionate about working with children ever since. Even at family gatherings, you'll usually find me spending time with the kids! Over the years, I've gained experience caring for children of different ages and personalities. I've also worked as a preschool teacher at the YMCA and completed child development coursework, which has strengthened my understanding of early childhood development. I enjoy creating engaging activities, supporting learning, and helping children build confidence, independence, and cognitive skills in a safe and nurturing environment. Whether you need a dependable nanny, babysitter, or someone to care for your furry family members, I'd love the opportunity to support your family. I look forward to meeting you and creating a positive, fun, and caring experience for your little ones!

Rina was great! She had so much energy that our son was smiling and giggling the whole time!

Hello! I’m Tatiana. I’ve graduated from Purdue University with my degree in Speech Pathology. I’m doing a part-time internship, leaving me with some spare time to help out families with kiddos (fur kids too)! I’m the eldest of 5, and my youngest sibling is 4 years old. We have so much fun– I love crafting, reading, drawing, and especially teaching them Spanish (I studied + tutored Spanish in university, would be happy to teach your kids too). I’ve watched babies as young as 4 months old, but love working with toddlers and older kids alike :) I’ve interned at an occupational therapy clinic, working with kids on the autism spectrum and/or sensory sensitivities. I also love pet sitting, I’ve worked with adults with intellectual disabilities, and most recently worked at a retirement home. Basically, I can work with any and everyone! I’d be happy to meet you and your family to see if we’d make a good fit! 😄

Tatiana has been a lifesaver for our family, caring for our three kids for years now. She is remarkably patient, totally engaged, and has this wonderful, calming energy that kids just gravitate toward. What really sets her apart is her background in language development! When our youngest was four and working through a speech delay, her experience made a massive, tangible difference in his progress. Beyond that, she is someone we have always found to be 100% reliable from everyday school driving to overnight care when my work schedule gets crazy. She’s dependable, smart, and wonderful with the kids. Any family would be lucky to have her!

Hi! My name is Eduarda but you can call me Duda. I’m 27yo, speak Portuguese and English and I am offering child care, pet care and household services. I’m currently living in Mountain View and looking for a new full time contract around the peninsula starting September 14th. I love kids and I’ve been babysitting since I was 14 years old. I’m experienced with all ages 0-15yo. But I’m currently taking care of a 20months girl during the week since she was 7monhts. My responsibilities with the families I’ve worked included driving to/from school and extra activities, crafts, meals, bottles, diapers, walks, playground, overnights, date nights. I love animals, I had 2 large dogs and 1 cat and I’m available to help with walks, feeding and even overnights so your pet doesn’t have to be alone during the night. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean and run errands. I’m comfortable with senior care and can cook, drive to appointments and/or do other tasks

Eduarda has cared for my two children on multiple occasions. She is a patient and skilled caretaker that understands the needs of both infants and toddlers. My kids love her. She asks thoughtful questions, has fantastic instincts, and is incredibly prompt and thorough.

"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."

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)."
