Hello families! I am a patient, responsible, and caring caregiver with more than ten years of experience caring for and supporting children, seniors, and families. As a mother, I understand how important safety, patience, and trust are. I can help with meal preparation, grocery shopping, errands, companionship, walks, transportation to medical appointments, and daily routines. I enjoy reading, outdoor activities, music, and creating a calm and positive environment for children. I am also comfortable with pets. I speak Persian and English, have reliable transportation, and hold a current First Aid certification. My background in customer service, education, photography, and community work has helped me become organized, dependable, creative, and respectful toward people from different cultures and backgrounds.

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)!

Hi I’m Shnyar 👋 I have 9 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from infants and toddlers to preschoolers and high school students. I’m currently an infant teacher in Walnut Creek and have also supported many families as a nanny while working in a school. I’m now looking for a long-term, full-time or part-time nanny position. I have a reliable car and can work within 25 miles. I’m happy to care for children of all ages 😊 🎓 Bachelor’s degree in Basic Education (international certificate) 📚 2 years of experience as a high school foreign language teacher abroad 🧸 Trained in both Reggio Emilia and Primrose programs 🎓 Child Development & Psychology studies at Diablo Valley College When I came to America, I found my true passion in infant care! My calm, patient personality makes working with little ones a perfect fit. I’ve been an infant teacher ever since . 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. My rate depends on the distance and commute. I’m experienced in caring for up to 4 infants at once, but I prefer a maximum of 3 to ensure each baby receives the individual attention and care they deserve.

“Very kind, honestly she’s a sweetheart.!not only punctual but had a great time with Ollie hanging out and playing card games. Most Definitely book again.”

"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)."
