Booked by 10 families in Soquel, CA

Hi! My name is Natalie and I’m half Spanish half Swedish, currently living overhere for a while! I’ve worked in Spain taking care of kids with some English, Spanish and Swedish-speakers families, I’ve also been a teacher in my mom’s language academy, a camp monitor and I’ve been helping kids with their homework and exams. 3 years ago I came to San Francisco for a year as an AuPair to take care of 4 kids under 4yo and was an occasional nanny for other families. Last year I did a volunteering in Kenia, Africa in both the Special Needs Program in an orphanage and Education Program in a school. Now I’m working here as a nanny! I have +8 years of experience with children of all ages. I am CPR and First Aid certified and I’m fully vaccinated. Currently studying Early Childhood Education and Pedagogy! I love playing with kids, do arts and crafts, puzzles, outdoors activities, sports… but what is more important, I really enjoy being around kids! Let me know if you need anymore information about me, I’d be happy to answer you!

Dakota Santa Cruz
$24 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Dakota. I’m 18 years old and recently moved to Santa Cruz in December. Working with kids is something I genuinely love and have been doing for most of my life. Prior to moving to Santa Cruz, I was a huge part of raising and caring for my niece (7), nephew (8), and little sister who turns 3 this year. Being around kids has always come naturally to me, and I truly enjoy creating a fun, safe, loving, and supportive environment where they feel comfortable being themselves. I also previously cared for a family with a 1-year-old and a 3 year old, which gave me even more hands-on experience with different ages, routines, and personalities. I’m very active and love getting kids outside for walks, park trips, beach days, and little adventures, but I also love slower indoor activities like painting, coloring, puzzles, play dough, reading stories, and creative play. I’m totally comfortable with low or zero screen time, but I’m also flexible with whatever works best for your family! A little about me, I have my license, a clean driving record, and a reliable SUV. I graduated high school in June 2025 and eventually plan to attend cosmetology school, but for now I’m focused on working and finding a family that feels like a great fit. I’d love to hear more about your routines and what’s most important to you in a nanny/caregiver. I’m extremely patient, warm, affectionate, dependable, and always willing to ask questions to make sure I’m supporting your family the best way possible. I’m not CPR certified yet, but I’m absolutely willing to get certified. I’m also flexible with scheduling as long as there’s communication in advance. I’d love to connect more and hear about your family! Please feel free to ask me any questions at all. I look forward to hearing from you!

Hello! I’m a fun-loving nanny who believes the best days are spent being active and curious. From backyard adventures and local park trips to building LEGO masterpieces and arts and crafts, I love staying hands-on. I’m highly dependable, CPR-certified, and comfortable with pets. My goal is to make sure your kids are happy, healthy, and tired by the time you get home! I have 3+ years of experience with children aged 1-12.

Alexandra Soquel
$28 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Alexandra! I recently graduated with a B. S. in Cell and Molecular Biology and am currently looking for babysitting or childcare opportunities as I prepare to welcome my own baby this November. I plan to return to my field afterward, but for now, I'd love to support families through childcare or tutoring. I have years of independent childcare experience and recently worked at the Early Childhood Education Center at San Francisco State. I've taken courses in early childhood development and enjoy working with kids of all ages. I find childcare to be incredibly fulfilling. Being part of a child's growth and learning is both rewarding and fascinating. I love supporting families and watching children explore, grow, and overcome challenges. It's meaningful work that I truly value. I enjoy engaging in activities that make learning fun and meaningful for children. With younger age groups, I love incorporating playful learning through songs, stories, and hands-on activities. I also enjoy baking simple recipes together, exploring nature at local parks, and doing creative arts and crafts that allow children to express themselves and build fine motor skills. One thing you should know about me is that I'm very respectful of the different values, routines, and parenting styles that each family has. I always do my best to follow your preferences and support your household in a way that feels consistent, thoughtful, and aligned with your needs.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
