Mansooreh $30 per hour for 1 child

I am a caring, patient, and reliable caregiver with hands-on experience supporting children of all ages, from infants to older children. My goal is to create a safe, nurturing, and joyful environment where children can grow and thrive. I also have a background as a fitness coach for children and adults, which allows me to design fun, age-appropriate physical activities that support physical development, coordination, and confidence, while always prioritizing safety. I enjoy planning creative play, storytelling, arts and crafts, and early learning activities to stimulate curiosity and imagination. I have experience in cooking and preparing healthy meals and am knowledgeable about healthy nutrition to ensure children receive a balanced diet. Additionally, I assist with homework and daily routines such as nap time, bedtime, and school readiness. Beyond child care, I am comfortable with light household chores, pet care, and supporting elderly family members, helping families maintain a calm and organized home. Families appreciate my positive energy, patience, and ability to create a safe and supportive environment for their children.

Hello! I'm Valentina 😊. I’m a current Au Pair living in Cupertino with a strong background in childcare and education. I studied at a pedagogical school back home, where I did my teaching practices with elementary school kids. I have extensive experience caring for children of all ages—from sweet 4-month-old babies to 12-year-olds. I love keeping kids safe, happy, and engaged. That´s why I love to make experiments and different activities with them! I absolutely love dogs and have plenty of experience with dog sitting too! I'm also available for house cleaning to help keep your home clean and tidy. I am responsible, trustworthy, and hardworking. I have great local and international references ready to share with you. I’d love to help your family out! Feel free to send me a message. Best, Valentina 😊

Our little ones loved playing with Valentina. She has a calm and gentle way of being and is bilingual in Spanish and English. She is very capable and responsible. I look forward to booking her again!

Booked by 1 family in Santa Clara, CA

Rate is negotiable depending on the situation and hours. B.S. Graduate of Penn State University at University Park I’m a responsible, detail-oriented business owner and mother to adult children who understands the importance of trust, consistency, and care. For the past thirteen years, I’ve managed my own home and property, overseeing landscaping, pool service, household maintenance, and coordinating licensed service providers. I’m highly organized, calm under pressure, and proactive about communication. I love children and animals and am attentive to routines, feeding schedules, walks, medication needs, and companionship. I’m also happy to take children out for walks and to neighborhood playgrounds or the library when appropriate, helping them stay active, curious, and engaged throughout the day. I understand how important it is for families to feel secure while they’re away—your home will be kept clean, orderly, and respected. Friends describe me as dependable, nurturing, and solution-oriented. Whether caring for children (furry and non), checking mail, watering plants, or managing household tasks, I approach every role with integrity, warmth, and professionalism.

"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)."
