Hi! I’m Elena. I am a reliable and caring caregiver who enjoys working with kids and creating a safe, positive environment. I’m also great with pets and happy to help with light housekeeping, cooking, and keeping things organized. I can assist with elderly care as well, offering patient and respectful support. I’m friendly, responsible, and easy to communicate with. I’d love to help make your daily routine easier!

Elena is truly the best of the best when it comes to babysitters! My daughter absolutely loved her from the get-go. Elena has a natural talent for connecting with children and making them feel completely at ease. She's attentive, engaging, and genuinely caring. We've never felt more confident leaving our daughter in someone else's care. Elena goes above and beyond to ensure that every moment is enjoyable and enriching for the kids. Highly recommend her to any parent looking for a top-notch sitter!

Hi! I’m Nelly — a 23-year-old CSU East Bay alum currently working toward getting into a Physical Therapy program. I’m super active and run both track and cross country, so I love bringing fun, positive energy into everything I do! Right now, I work at Chabot College as an Adaptive Physical Activity Instructor, where I support and work closely with individuals of all abilities. I also work in the nursery at my church caring for children ages 1–4, and I absolutely love working with babies and helping them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m really passionate about working with kids and hope to pursue a career in collegiate coaching someday. I already have 4+ years of experience coaching youth and enjoy creating a fun, supportive, and safe environment where kids can be active, build confidence, and just have a good time. Whether it’s playing outside, doing crafts, helping with routines, or keeping little ones entertained, I always try to make sure kids feel happy and cared for while parents feel at ease too!

Our kiddo is not used to new people. Nelly did an amazing job taking her time with him and letting him warm up to her. By the time we got home, he kept asking for her to come back and play. Will definitely be hiring her again. Regular communication helped us feel comfortable going out for a bit.

I am a caring, responsible, and trustworthy person with a lifelong passion for caring for children. Childcare has been a natural part of my life, not just a job. From the age of 10 to 17, I helped care for my younger siblings, taking responsibility for daily routines such as preparing meals, helping with homework, maintaining the home, and providing supervision and emotional support. This experience taught me patience, organization, and strong caregiving skills from a very young age. I also cared for a baby under one year old for three months while traveling between Costa Rica and Panama with an American family. The parents trusted me enough to travel with them and fully care for their baby. I can provide a reference letter if needed. My responsibilities included feeding, bathing, putting the baby to sleep, following daily routines, and giving full attention to the baby’s well-being. While the baby rested, I assisted with light household tasks such as cooking and keeping the kitchen clean.

We feel so lucky to have Yvonne as our nanny. She started with us in December 2025, caring for our 2-month-old and 5-year-old, and has been incredible from day one. She is extremely reliable, always punctual, and communicates clearly. She has even stepped in to help us during last-minute childcare gaps. We can truly count on her. Yvonne is wonderful with children—she engages them with play, music, and reading, and brings such positive energy. Our kids love her and feel happy and safe with her. She is also warm, supportive, and is part of our family. She has gone above and beyond, even helping with meals. Most importantly, we trust her completely. Any family would be lucky to have her.

*full availability starting April 2026* I nannied a little boy from 6 months to entering kindergarten, in addition to watching 3 children ages 4, 10, and 12 for 4 months during their covid pandemic remote schooling, and babysitting experience. I have an energetic and very child-friendly personality. I used to mainly work doing birthday party gigs (princess, clown, face painter, balloon twister, etc.) and I have worked over 300 gigs. I was commended for my energy, stamina, and patience when working.

"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."

"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)."
