Natale $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Natále, a musician, writer, and creative community builder with a lifelong connection to caring for children. All the women in my family (my grandmother, stepmother, and aunts) have run daycares for as long as I can remember, so I’ve been surrounded by kids (and helping with them) since I was one myself. Over the years, I’ve worked as a camp counselor, voice coach for youth, and mentor for young creatives. I love helping children express themselves through music, art, and storytelling while also creating a calm and safe environment where they feel seen and supported. Beyond childcare, I host community gatherings centered on connection and creativity, so bringing people together comes naturally to me. Families describe me as intuitive, reliable, and deeply caring. I believe in nurturing imagination and self-expression just as much as structure. I’m comfortable caring for kids of all ages, assisting with homework, organizing creative play, and supporting household needs or pets. Most importantly, I treat each family I work with as an extension of my own, bringing warmth, patience, and positive energy into their space.

Luisa $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Luisa. I'm 26 years old and originally from Nicaragua. I'm bilingual in English and Spanish. I graduated from high school and studied Marketing at university in my home country. I have over 3 years of experience caring for children of different ages, including newborns, infants, toddlers and school-aged kids. I'm patient, loving, responsible, and dependable. I enjoy helping children learn through play, encouraging kindness, building routines and creating a safe, nurturing environment where they can grow and thrive. I'm currently looking for a part-time nanny position with a kind and respectful family. I can start immediately. I have a California Driver's License, my own reliable car, CPR and First Aid Certification, a completed Background Check and TrustLine Registration. In addition to childcare, I'm happy to help with light housekeeping related to the children, meal preparation, laundry and pet care. I love animals and enjoy cooking, reading and spending time outdoors. I believe every child deserves patience, love, and individual attention. I value open communication with parents and always strive to provide dependable, safe and compassionate care while supporting each child's emotional, social and developmental growth.

"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)."
