$35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Neelu— I have experience caring for children in creative, educational, and home environments, with a background in Montessori learning. I’ve worked with children ranging from toddlers to elementary age and am comfortable supporting full evening routines, including meals, bath time, and bedtime. I bring a calm, attentive, and nurturing presence, and I enjoy engaging kids through art, outdoor time, creative play, and age-appropriate learning. I value creating a warm, structured environment where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to explore. My experience includes: • Montessori teacher’s assistant (Rising Star Montessori) • Childcare for multiple age groups • Cooking simple, healthy meals • School pick-up/drop-off • Arts & crafts, tutoring, and creative activities I’m also happy to assist with light household tasks like tidying, cooking, and errands as needed. I’m reliable, responsible, and genuinely enjoy building positive, trusting relationships with both children and parents. I look forward to connecting with you!

“Neelu is one of the most dependable, thoughtful, and caring people I know. She has a natural ability to connect with children through patience, creativity, and genuine attentiveness. Kids tend to feel comfortable around her very quickly, and she does a wonderful job creating a calm, engaging environment where they feel safe and supported. She's responsible, communicative, and always follows through on her commitments. Whether helping with activities, meals, bedtime routines, or simply spending quality time with children, she brings warmth, kindness, and a positive attitude. I would feel completely confident recommending Neelu to any family looking for a trustworthy and caring caregiver.”

Booked by 1 family in Walnut Creek, CA

Hello! My name is Jenna and I have been working with children for over 15 years. Most of my experience has been with infants and toddlers, but I enjoy working with kids of all ages. I also have experience working with special needs, and my background in Nursing has aided me in nannying for children with Cerebral Palsy, Epilepsy, and Autism. When I am babysitting, I enjoy taking kids to a local park, doing crafts, or cooking up something tasty! In my free time, I enjoy hiking and camping.

“Jenna is an amazing caregiver. My son had so much fun with her and we will definitely book her again! She did a lot of fun activities with him and when I showed up he was even wearing one of the costumes he loves. Highly recommend ”

"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)."
