Booked by 5 families in Santa Clara, CA

Hi! My name is Karen, I’m 29 years old, and I have experience caring for children of all ages—from infants to older kids. I’m responsible, loving, patient, and dedicated. I truly enjoy spending time with kids—playing, helping with homework, and making sure they always feel safe and happy. I have experience working with children in different family settings, supporting daily routines, playtime, meals, and schoolwork. I’ve also cared for multiple children at the same time, adapting to each family’s needs. I love animals and I’m also available to help care for pets if your family needs it. I’m happy to assist with light housekeeping, organizing, and simple meal preparation as well. My first language is Spanish, and I’m currently learning English and improving every day. I have a driver’s license, flexible availability, and I easily adjust to different schedules and parenting styles. I’m excited about the opportunity to work with your family. Thank you for considering my profile!

Savannah $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Savannah, and I’m 24 years old with over 6 years of childcare experience. I truly love working with children and helping them learn, grow, and feel safe in their environment. I have experience caring for kids of all ages, from newborns to teenagers, including helping raise and care for my 6–7 nieces and nephews. I’m currently in school pursuing nursing, which has strengthened my knowledge of child development, safety, and health. I’m patient, responsible, and very attentive to each child’s individual needs. I enjoy engaging kids in creative activities like arts and crafts, reading, outdoor play, and educational games that support their development. I also love staying active—I enjoy swimming and was a swim instructor, as well as a swimmer in high school. I love spending time outdoors, taking kids on walks, and going to the park. In addition, I’m happy to help around the house with cooking, cleaning, and even baking, which I love to do with kids when appropriate. Families would describe me as dependable, nurturing, and positive. My goal is always to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment where children feel comfortable and parents feel confident leaving their little ones in my care.

Milagros 3 reviews
$35 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Milagros. I'm a bilingual Spanish-English nanny with 4 years of childcare experience, including 2 years as an Au Pair in the U. S. and 2 years of childcare experience in Peru. During my first year in the U. S., I provided full-time care for a baby from 4 months old. In my second year, I worked alongside my sister caring for multiple children, including newborn twins, a 7-month-old baby, three toddlers, and a preschooler. I currently work part-time with two wonderful families. I care for a sweet 7month old baby and a lovely 3 years old girl with another family. I'm very grateful for the opportunity to work with both families, and they have kindly provided reviews for my profile. I'm loving, patient, responsible, organized, and respectful. I enjoy reading, singing, dancing, arts and crafts, playing, exploring outdoors, and teaching Spanish. I'm currently looking for new opportunities where I can continue providing loving, reliable, and engaging care for children.

“Milagros is wonderful with our baby. She is caring, patient, responsible, communicative, and dependable. She always makes sure our little one is safe, comfortable, happy, and well cared for. She is very attentive to our baby’s daily routine and helps with feeding, playtime, diaper changes, naps, and other activities throughout the day. She prepares healthy and delicious purees for our baby and is thoughtful about making meals that our little one enjoys. Milagros also keeps everything clean and organized. She sanitizes the toys regularly and in a timely manner, keeps the play area clean and tidy, and makes sure our baby has a clean and safe environment to play and explore in. What we especially appreciate about Milagros is her warm and loving personality. She connects very well with our baby and keeps our little one engaged with play, songs, and other age-appropriate activities. We truly appreciate having Milagros care for our baby and highly recommend her to any family looking for a caring, reliable, attentive, and responsible nanny.”

"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)."
