Noud $40 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Noud and I've always had a passion in working with children since a young age. I started working with children in highschool & throughout college. I aquired an AS in Behavioral Science & took many Child Development units to obtain certain certificates of completion in Child Development. I am also currently in the process of getting my official Teachers permit as well. In the past, Ive been a substitute teacher, Ive worked at afterschool programs, Ive also been an infant/toddler & preschool teacher & I nannied for local families as well. These experiences gave me a chance to interact with children in different settings. Having the opportunity to be a part of a child's growth and development amazed me so much that I couldn't choose a specific age group to work with. I enjoy working with children of all the different ages groups. I've work with children as young as 3 months to middle schoolers. Being around children for most of my life has helped me gained so much knowledge, appreciation, understanding, respect, love, trust, and patience. I currently nanny for a few different families (working with infants & toddlers at the moment) My schedule has some flexibility at the moment & hopefully it is helpful. Looking forward to connecting!

Booked by 1 family in South San Francisco, CA

Hi, my name is Maria. I have experience taking care of children of all ages, and I am also a mother, so I understand how important it is to have someone caring, responsible, and trustworthy watching your children. I would be happy to help care for your kids during date nights, daytime hours, or any time you need a babysitter.

Maria filled in for our nanny on short notice and was great. She was warm and loving to our daughter (1.5), and we would definitely hire her again.

$40 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in South San Francisco, CA

Hi there! I’m CPR certified and an LVN. I’ve cared for children ages 1-7 and am comfortable with diapers, toileting, and daily routines. I love helping families, keeping things organized, and creating a positive, caring environment. I drive my own car and am happy to help around the house with laundry (which I actually enjoy!), dishes, cleaning, and organizing. I’m also comfortable preparing simple breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and snacks. References are available!

Cindy has been working with us for several months. She is a great communicator, calm, and knowledgeable. Cindy has managed to win over our baby, who has serious separation anxiety. She is awesome with our very outgoing preschooler. She is great at taking initiative and helping around the house. We are so lucky to have had her in our lives and would recommend her without hesitation. If she wasn’t moving, we would have loved to have kept working with her. Thank you, Cindy!

"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)."
