Sara $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Sara, and I am a college student pursuing a career in healthcare. I am currently enrolled in a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) program and am passionate about helping others through compassionate, dependable care. My long-term goal is to continue my education in the healthcare field, and I enjoy gaining experience working with people of all ages. I have over two years of experience working in a pediatric clinic, where I have developed strong communication, organizational, and caregiving skills while working with children and their families. In addition to my professional experience, I have spent many years helping care for my younger family members, which has taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of creating a safe and supportive environment. Outside of school and work, I enjoy spending time with family, staying active, and finding ways to help others. I am reliable, caring, and attentive, and I strive to make those around me feel comfortable and supported. Whether it’s helping with homework, preparing meals, engaging in fun activities, assisting with daily routines, or simply being a positive role model, I am committed to providing quality care and building trusting relationships with the families I work with. I look forward to the opportunity to support your family and provide a safe, caring, and dependable environment for your loved ones.

Booked by 1 family in Saratoga, CA

I have been babysitting, nannying, and pet sitting since 2008. I have a Bachelor's in Sociology and have taken multiple first aid courses. Some of my experience: In college, I was a nanny for 3 kids under 5 for 3 years (I am still in touch with the family and enjoy seeing the kids growing up). I have also watched a total of 6 kids under 12 through high school as their regular babysitter. I grew up a competitive gymnast and played soccer through college(happy to coach in either sport). I enjoy cooking, taking walks/ hikes, playing games and helping the kiddos with their homework. On the animal caretaking side- I am regularly housesitting/pet sitting for multi-pet households. I am familiar with dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits and tortoises. Happy to learn the routine for other pets too!

Michaela rocked it! She took care of our trio like a total pro while we enjoyed dinner. From cooking up a storm to playing games, she had them laughing and smiling all evening. Our kids are already asking when she can come over again! Michaela's laid-back vibe and easy flexibility made our night out a breeze. We're already planning our next adventure, knowing our little ones will be in the best hands. If you want a caregiver who's not just great with kids but also super cool, Michaela's your go-to! Highly recommend her for some stress-free parent time.

"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)."
