$70 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Santa Clara, CA

I have 12 years of experience taking care of dogs. I offer dog boarding and daycare at my house in Milpitas. Rate is $70/dog/day. I live next to two parks and have a large backyard. I have experience with senior dog care providing daily medication, assistive feeding, and bladder expression. I usually become best friends with your dog within an hour and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I provide your dog with an abundance of attention and tailor care to your dog's needs. I prefer to board dogs that are at least one year old. I usually board one dog at a time and can accept up to two if both are friendly.

Sevda $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Sevda. I'm a reliable and caring nanny with 3 years of childcare experience (toddlers included). I'm CPR/First Aid certified, a non-smoker, and I have a reliable car. I'm also a college student studying Psychology and Sociology and I'm working toward transferring to a university. I used to be a live-in au pair, so I'm very comfortable with routines, safety, and keeping kids engaged. I love doing simple activities like reading, crafts, music, and outdoor walks. I can also help with child meals, tidying up, and light housekeeping. Thank you!

Jesus $40 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Jesus and I am a caring, responsible, and dedicated woman with over six years of experience working with young children in a preschool setting, as well as four years of experience providing care for an elderly woman. I have extensive experience caring for children ages 18 months to 4 years old. My responsibilities have included diaper changes, potty training support, preparing and guiding age-appropriate activities, helping with daily routines, and creating a safe, loving, and positive environment where children can learn and grow. As a mother of two children, ages 17 and 19, I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident that their children are receiving patient, respectful, and attentive care. I truly enjoy spending time with children and supporting their development while encouraging their independence, creativity, and confidence. I am CPR certified, and I am committed to providing safe, reliable, and nurturing care for every child I work with. I would love the opportunity to become a trusted caregiver for your family and support your child’s growth and happiness.

"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)."
