Susie $40 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Walnut Creek, CA

Hi, there! I am an authentically enthusiastic, welcoming, & dedicated experiential education professional, skilled in making joyful and meaningful connections with others, particularly children & youth. I have over 20 years experience working with children and youth in outdoor education, 3.5 years experience as a private nanny (ages 1-4), and 13 years experience as a mom (successfully raising 2 children since birth). :-) I have a B.A. and M.S. in Recreation (with a focus on youth programming), I have an active Wilderness First Responder certification (advanced medical training), and I drive groups of students regularly for outdoor excursions. I am equally passionate about outdoor education and early childhood development, so nature play/exploration is an integral part of my nanny care! Outdoor education focuses on learning through experience, saying “yes” to try, and being curious about the world around us. I am creative, dedicated, easy-going, and a self-starter yet love working as a team. In addition to outdoor exploration, I integrate songs, art, baking, and field trips (e.g., zoos) into my work with children, and I bring a global perspective of having visited 17 countries. I would love to explore this opportunity to work with you and your precious little one(s)!

Shnyar 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

I’m Shnyar, a professional, and dependable infant teacher with 9 years of childcare experience. Caring for babies is truly my specialty. I’m experienced with feeding, diapering, naps, safe sleep, age-appropriate activities, developmental support, and creating individualized routines based on each baby’s needs. I’m CPR/First Aid certified and have completed coursework focused on infant care, child development, nutrition, and safety. Safety is always my highest priority. I’m patient, attentive, organized, and respectful of each family’s routines and parenting preferences.

“She was amazing with our baby! She was so calm and patient, and it really felt like she naturally understood babies. Our baby felt so secure with her, especially when Shnyar sang little baby songs. She was the only sitter who could get our baby to drink her bottle!”

$35 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Walnut Creek, CA

I’m a CPR-certified babysitter with years of experience caring for children of all ages. I’ve also worked as a swim coach, leading over 120 kids per season ranging from ages 3 to 18 — which taught me patience, creativity, and how to make learning fun and safe. I truly love working with kids (and dogs too!). I have a dog of my own, a sweet little Italian greyhound named Loki who happens to be deaf, so I’m very comfortable providing attentive and compassionate care for both children and pets.

Samra $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I'm a recent college graduate (B.S. in Business Administration) with a flexible schedule and a passion for helping families. I grew up around childcare because my mother worked as a nanny, caregiver, and housekeeper for over 30 years. I often accompanied her to jobs and assisted with children of all ages, from infants in diapers to older children involved in sports and extracurricular activities. Through these experiences, I learned the importance of patience, responsibility, safety, and creating a positive environment for children. In addition to helping care for younger cousins and family members, I've gained experience supervising children, assisting with homework, tutoring students, and organizing fun activities such as arts and crafts, outdoor play, trips to the park, beach outings, and other engaging experiences. As the oldest among many of my cousins and family friends, I was often the person responsible for looking after younger children and making sure they stayed safe, entertained, and cared for. I have a valid driver's license and can assist with school pickups, drop-offs, sports practices, and other transportation needs. I can also work as a household assistant and help with light cooking, cleaning, laundry, organizing, meal preparation, and running errands. I understand that supporting a family often involves more than childcare, and I'm happy to help wherever needed to keep the household running smoothly. I am comfortable caring for pets as well and have experience helping neighbors with pet care. I have also owned and cared for a variety of pets over the years, giving me experience with feeding, exercise, daily care, and providing a safe and loving environment for animals. I was previously CPR certified for both children and adults and would be happy to renew my certification. Families can count on me to be dependable, attentive, organized, and caring. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and enjoyable environment where children can learn, grow, and have fun!

"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)."
