Hello👋 My name is Maggie and I am looking for occasional nanny gigs/jobs to fill my spare time! I have a BA from Sonoma State University majoring in Anthropology with a minor in Spanish and an MA in Biological Anthropology from Texas State University. I currently teach biological anthropology courses at the Santa Rosa Junior College. I have been babysitting quite literally my whole life! Starting since I was a child with my younger sister, throughout my teenage years, and more professionally on Urbansitter throughout my 20’s and 30’s. I enjoy playing creatively indoors and out, as well as doing crafts, and am great at mealtimes (I love to cook and am quite capable in the kitchen). I look forward to meeting you and your families!

Maggie was a joy to have for my 2 and 4 year old boys! Very professional and kept my kids engaged

I have 5+ years babysitting kids of ages 1 through 13 and 3 years of experience working as a behavior therapist for kids diagnosed with ASD of all ages. Experienced pet sitter and house sitter as well :)

Talita has been regularly babysitting both my two year-old and five year-old over the last year. Talita is a wonderful caregiver to both kids. She is reliable, patient and always engages in fun activities with them, indoors and outdoors. With her background working with kids, she is also fantastic at managing any challenging behaviors. I highly recommend Talita as a caregiver!

Devis Santa Rosa
$20 per hour for 1 child

I have extensive experience as a nanny, working with children of different ages and needs. For a year, I cared for a nonverbal autistic girl, which strengthened my skills in nonverbal communication, patience, and creating structured routines. For this same family, I prepared gluten-free and lactose-free meals, developing experience in cooking with dietary restrictions. I have also worked with a 9-year-old boy, supporting him in his daily activities, and I currently care for two girls aged 3 and 6. With them, I organize playdates, prepare their three meals, manage their bath routine, and maintain a safe and loving environment. My experience as a teacher of children and teenagers between the ages of 9 and 16 has given me pedagogical and emotional support tools. In addition, I have skills in cleaning and organizing the home. I consider myself responsible, dynamic, and committed to children's well-being.

"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

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
