Booked by 9 families in Sunnyvale, CA

Hello! My name is Mariah, I have over 17 years of experience working with children and families, including 12 wonderful years teaching kindergarten. My passion for early childhood education and helping children grow has been at the heart of everything I do. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with children of all ages,from infants to teenagers,which has given me a deep understanding of each stage of development and how to support children’s unique needs. In addition to my teaching experience, I’ve also been a nanny for several families, caring for children of various ages, including newborns and toddlers. I’ve cared for up to nine children at a time and pride myself on creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children can thrive. I am CPR and First Aid certified, fingerprinted, and have a clear background check. I hold degrees in Social and Behavioral Science and Elementary Education, along with a Culinary Certificate, and I specialize in supporting children with behavioral and developmental needs. I would describe myself as honest, dependable, and dedicated,I truly love what I do and treat every child I care for as if they were my own. I’m looking forward to connecting with you and your family to see how my experience, energy, and love for children can best support your needs.

Mariah was great with our three boys. She’s patient and kind. We even received periodic updates.

Hello, I’m a career nanny with over 15 years of professional experience working in private homes, caring for children from newborn through 12 years old and supporting the unique needs of each stage. I am infant and child CPR/First Aid certified, TrustLine registered, a Newborn Care Specialist and thoroughly vetted by multiple nanny agencies. I am currently available for full-time positions. Over the past 15+ years, I’ve been fortunate to build strong, lasting relationships with both children and parents, and I’d love the opportunity to help your family as well. Best, Carrie

Carrie was a life saver. Needed last minute help to take care of our 4 year old. She responded quickly, and made sure to come a few minutes early. It was apparent she has a lot of experience caring for children. She connected with our son right away and they played nonstop. She limited screen time and was very responsible. Overall, he had a great time with her and we felt safe and secure leaving him with Carrie. Would definitely hire again.

Booked by 2 families in Sunnyvale, CA

I’m Lalida, and I’m excited to offer child care, senior care, and household help. I’ve been babysitting since I was 24, and I’ve cared for children of all ages, from newborns to toddlers and even twins. I speak English, Thai, and Cambodian, so I can connect with different families. I enjoy doing fun activities with kids like crafts, tutoring, and dance lessons, as well as playing games that help them learn. I can also help with cooking, cleaning, and senior care. I’m comfortable working with pets, too! If you need a reliable and caring sitter, I’d love to help your family.

We have known Lalida for awhile and she’s been great with our two kids. She is attentive and asks all the right questions, willing to help and very kind and nurturing. She is fun and is playful so our kids like having her around

"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)."
