Belinda $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello Santa Clara Families Caring for seniors isn't easy. Often, they are more fragile than they realize themselves. I worked as a Personal Care Assistant for eights years in assisted living and private homes. I do transfers, daily hygiene, housekeeping, and cooking. I'm not afraid of work and would rather get it done and then sit and chat. I'm a good listener. I'm sort of a fuddy-duddy home type and I like to make things look nice. I would like a situation where my caregiving means something good for someone. Please let me know how I may help.

Leydi 3 reviews
$35 per hour for 1 child

I am a 29-year-old bilingual (English & Spanish) with over nine years of experience in childcare and psychology—four years in the U.S. and more than five years abroad. I hold a degree in Psychology from Colombia, where I worked in the ICU department providing emotional support and specialized care, especially with infants and their families. Caring for children has always been one of my greatest passions. I have worked as both a nanny and an au pair, gaining extensive hands-on experience with infants and toddlers. Families often describe me as loving, patient, and reliable, with a natural ability to create a safe, nurturing, and joyful environment for kids. • 💕 Dedicated caregiver for infants & toddlers • 💕 Strong background in psychology & child development • 💕 Licensed driver • 💕 Bilingual: English & Spanish

We have been fortunate to have Leydi as our evening nanny since February 2024- who took care of our two kids(who is now 10 and 2.5yrs)and she has truly become part of our family. She is now looking for a full-time role in the mornings while continuing to be with us in the evenings — we are so glad she will remain part of our routine. I highly recommend her to any family looking for someone dependable and loving. Things that we love about Leydi and what she can bring to the new family. Some of the qualities we value most about her: 1. Reliability: Always on time and consistent, which gives us complete peace of mind. 2. Warmth & Patience: Our children adore her, and she connects with them in such a genuine way. 3. Engagement across ages: She understands and supports both our 10-year-old and 2-year-old socially and emotionally, meeting them where they are and tuning in to their behaviors and needs. 4. Creativity &amp Calm: Keeps evenings fun yet smooth, whether it’s play, stories, or winding down for bedtime. 5. Professionalism: Follows our instructions carefully and respects family routines. She understands what we believe practice as family and leverages the same principle. 6. Flexibility: Easy to communicate with and always willing to adapt to our needs. Any family would be lucky to have her.

Hello! I’m Tatiana. I’ve graduated from Purdue University with my degree in Speech Pathology. I’m doing a part-time internship, leaving me with some spare time to help out families with kiddos (fur kids too)! I’m the eldest of 5, and my youngest sibling is 4 years old. We have so much fun– I love crafting, reading, drawing, and especially teaching them Spanish (I studied + tutored Spanish in university, would be happy to teach your kids too). I’ve watched babies as young as 4 months old, but love working with toddlers and older kids alike :) I’ve interned at an occupational therapy clinic, working with kids on the autism spectrum and/or sensory sensitivities. I also love pet sitting, I’ve worked with adults with intellectual disabilities, and most recently worked at a retirement home. Basically, I can work with any and everyone! I’d be happy to meet you and your family to see if we’d make a good fit! 😄

Tatiana was great! She sat for our two girls, ages 5 and 8, while we were on a staycation in Santa Cruz, letting the parents get a date night. Our kiddos had a great time!

During the last 3 years I have had jobs related to child and pet care. I was working at petsmart and in two home day care, I am creative and careful and friendly, I have learned during my experience to pay attention to details and solve them in an optimal way. I think it is very important that children have good care for this reason I am starting classes at Mission College in relation to the care and behavior of the child

We would love to recommend her for the wonderful care she provided to our 1 year and 4 month old daughter. From the very beginning, she built a very special bond with her; our daughter always felt calm, safe, and happy in her presence. She supported us during an important stage, introducing solid foods, always with patience, care, and by following our instructions closely. She was also very responsible when it came to managing allergies, which was extremely important to us, and she consistently gave us peace of mind in that area. She helped establish sleep routines that significantly improved our baby’s rest. In addition, she encouraged her development through the use of Spanish commands, daily reading, and engaging activities that supported her learning in a loving way. She also promoted outdoor activities, which helped our daughter stay active and supported her motor development. Additionally, she assisted with meal preparation, always carefully following our guidance. She is a very responsible, dedicated, and detail-oriented person. We are truly grateful for all the care, support, and love she gave to our daughter.

"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)."
