Malia $28 per hour for 1 child

Hello everybody! My name is Malia and I graduated with a degree in Family and Consumer Sciences in 2018. I worked at an infant/toddler daycare for a year and a half prior to the daycare closing due to the COVID 19 pandemic. I was then a nanny for 5 1/2 years for the same family who eventually ended up having 3 children during that time period so I have experience watching multiple children from both of those jobs. I took some time off work because I had my own child who is currently 7 months old and I’ve been searching for work, ideally with a family who wouldn’t mind me bringing my daughter seeing as I’m her only source of care at this moment. Along with working with children, I also have experience working with older individuals as well as those who use mobility aids due to my time caring for my father after his stroke where he transitioned from using a wheelchair to now being able to use a walker.

Gabriela $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Gabriela! I have over 7 years of experience working as a nanny, and I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education. I’ve worked with children between the ages of 2 and 13, and I truly love what I do. I enjoy engaging kids in fun and educational activities such as painting, arts and crafts, dancing, and spending time outdoors at the playground. My goal is always to create a safe, joyful, and stimulating environment where children can learn and grow. I’m available during the week and on weekends. Feel free to contact me if you’re looking for someone caring, creative, and reliable to take care of your little ones!

Joanna $35 per hour for 1 child

I am a dedicated and compassionate individual with a strong background in healthcare and child development. I recently completed my nursing degree, where I gained extensive knowledge in patient care, safety, and clinical skills. My experience as a medical technician in a senior care facility allowed me to develop hands-on skills in assisting with daily living activities, monitoring health conditions, and providing empathetic support to elderly patients. Currently, I work as a behavioral therapist in a school setting, where I support children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), ADHD, and Down syndrome. In this role, I help implement individualized behavior plans, promote social and communication skills, and create a safe, structured, and encouraging environment for each child. I am known for being patient, attentive, and reliable, with a genuine passion for helping others. My diverse experience across both pediatric and geriatric care allows me to adapt easily and provide high-quality, compassionate support to individuals of all ages.

Lani $45 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Lani and I have been a dedicated caregiver for 10 years now. I graduated with a sociology degree from San Francisco State University. I'm comfortable with children of all ages – from 4 month-old infants to supporting teenage development. Beyond childcare, I help with household assistance such as tidying up, dishes, laundry, errands, grocery shopping, mail packages, dry cleaners, meal prep/light cooking, and dog walking or pet care. I love taking care of children and always prioritize their safety and protection. One thing about me is that I am honest, trustworthy, and reliable (: CPR/first aid certified *Lots of References upon request

"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."

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)."
