Teresa 2 reviews
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Teresa, I live in Oakland ( Montclair) and Im excited about the potential to work with you and your family. I’m a mother of five adult children, I worked 18 years driving school buses,and I have over 20 years experience working with infants, toddlers, and young children. I’m highly skilled in newborn’s care. My areas of expertise are infant sleep training, potty training, and preparing healthy age-appropriate meals.I strive to create an atmosphere where your children are safe, happy, and well nourished. I’m patient, reliable, committed, and trained in First Aid/CPR. Also I’m a County Register Caregiver/ Companion with 15 years experience in Elder care. Reliable transportation,insurance, and clean background and driving record. Excellent cooking skills and glowing references.

It is my pleasure to offer my highest recommendation for Teresa, who served as the full-time nanny for our son, from the age of eight months until he entered pre-kindergarten at age five. We always looked forward to hearing about what they did during day. From taking his first steps to trying new foods to learning Spanish words, we new our son enjoyed spending time with Teresa. Over those formative years, Teresa was more than an employee; she was an essential and beloved member of our family. Not only did she care for our son, but she also cared for my grandparents, treating them with love and respect. She cooked for them, spent quality time with them and took care of their personal needs. Several years later when we were in need of a nanny, we were so fortunate that she was available. While her professional duties concluded years ago, her role in his life never did. Even now, as he is a senior in high school, Teresa remains a lifelong friend who continues to attend significant milestones and celebrations. This unique, long-standing bond speaks volumes about her character, her commitment, and the depth of care she invests in the children she looks after. For any family seeking a caregiver who is not only trustworthy, reliable, and deeply capable, but who will also bring a truly loving and committed heart to their work, we wholeheartedly recommend Teresa. We are so grateful for the role she played in our lives.

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.

Hi, I’m Stefani and I would love to meet your family soon! 😊 I’m a responsible and patient caregiver with experience taking care of children. I currently take care of two-year-old twins and have been with them since they were 8 months old! I also did volunteer work in orphanages and hospitals — it was a special experience for me. I’m a loving, respectful, and kind person, and I like to bring a calm and happy environment.

Stefani cared for my kids with warmth, patience, and professionalism. They adored her, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. Highly recommend!

$25 per hour for 1 child
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

Yoselyn was great with my baby. She was always caring, patient, and dependable. I would definitely recommend her to any family looking for a kind and trustworthy nanny.

"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)."
