8 things every child needs to hear: 1. I love you no matter what. 2. I am proud of you. 3. I'm sorry. 4. I forgive you. 5. I am listening to you. 6. This is your responsibility. 7. You can do it! 8. I understand you. Hi! My name is Lizzy. I have worked as a Special Education Aide in the classroom at Palo Alto Unified School District, a Teacher's Assistant at Bridge the Gap College Prep, and a summer school Math teacher in the Marin City School District. I also worked in the nursery at Redeemer Presbyterian. I studied Leadership and Management at NYU and I am looking to babysit full time. I would describe myself as empathetic, creative, and hard working. Hope to speak with you soon! :)

Hiya! I have 15 years of experience working with kids of which I was a nanny for 10 years, and I’ve worked with children from 2 days old to 17 years old. I've also worked in several schools in different roles, working with students both with and without special needs ages 6-19. I spent the 2[removed] school year in San Antonio working as a mentor and tutor in a highschool with City Year, a well known AmeriCorps program. I worked with students on behavior, set goals for improving attendance, and wrote lesson plans as well as tutored them in English 1 and 2(9th and 10th grade) to improve their grades. I have previously taken child development courses pertaining to positive discipline, behavior, and nutrition, and my CPR classes are always up to date. I love going to the park, beach, museums, and anywhere worthwhile. I love to construct anything a child can think of out of various materials, and am open to any ideas that they can throw at me. I adapt to any given child's needs, as not all children are the same. I do however enforce rules and guidelines that I feel are needed to have a great time without harming anyone in anyway. I am open to different parenting styles and techniques and will adhere to them with your child. I have experience providing care during weddings, corporate events, family parties, theme parks, and full weekend/overnight care. Ask me about my overnight(24hrs of care) rate! My Calendar is ALWAYS* (*99.1% of the time) up to date, I try my hardest to update it asap whenever something changes. *I do NOT accept bookings that have no message, or information about the booking, or contain the standard message provided by Urbansitter. Please send me a brief message about the day and your child(ren) This is for both of our benefit, so that I know if I will be the best fit for you as well as knowing if I am what you are looking for in the person you want to take care of your child!(: I have a 4 hour minimum, I may accept jobs less than that but I don't always; if I do accept it I do require to be paid for at least 3 hours. Cancelations with less than 72 hours notice have a fee of 50% of booked time. Cancelations with less than 24 hours notice must be paid in full. I budget based on bookings and when a booking is canceled it directly impacts my budget. Thank you for understanding. I am vaccinated, and expect any family that I work with to be vaccinated as well, including all children in my care aged 5 and older.

“Natalia is very professional and friendly but also clearly cares about her work, she is also punctual and easy to communicate with.”

Hi, my name is Annette! I’ve been a professional nanny for over 15 years, caring for children from newborns through 13 years old. Alongside my professional experience, I’m also a mom to a 4-year-old and a 13-year-old, which gives me an even deeper understanding of what families need and value in childcare. While being a nanny is my profession, it’s also something I genuinely love. Being present for children, supporting their growth, and helping them feel safe and supported is what drives me. As a parent, I truly understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your child — you’re trusting them with the most important part of your life. I treat every child in my care as if they were my own. My role is to keep them safe, nurture them, and build trust so they know I’m there for them when their parents can’t be physically present. I approach every family relationship as a partnership. We all rely on each other, so open communication and transparency are very important to me. I’m here to support your parenting style, not overstep boundaries — I’d want the same respect when it comes to my own children. My goal is to provide stability and peace of mind, and I hope every family I’ve worked with would agree that I do just that. Fun fact about me: I’m the mother of a daughter with a cochlear implant (she was born with profound hearing loss). Through that journey, I’ve developed a lot of patience and hands-on speech therapy skills, which I also bring into my work as a nanny. As the saying goes — it takes a village! I look forward to working with new families and reconnecting with past families as well. 💛

“Annette was wonderful! She was always punctual, communicative, and attentive to our daughter. She handled a challenging, not-so-toddler-friendly apartment with patience and flexibility. We felt completely at ease knowing our little one was in great hands. 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)."
