Booked by 65 families in Monterey, CA

Hi families! My name is Brenda. I am a San Francisco native :) I was an infant/toddler and preschool teacher and an early interventionist assistant for 8 years before transitioning to my current job. I also did tutoring for a few years for elementary school age kids when I was in college. I participated in different programs, such as PITC(Program for Infant/Toddler Care), to further my knowledge in the early childhood education field. Occasionally I babysit for family, friends, and other contacts, which I enjoy very much! Look forward to meeting your family! :)

“Brenda is very friendly and reliable. Our daughters loved her, would definitely recommend.”

Booked by 5 families in Monterey, CA

I am 21 years old and I’ve been taking care of children ever since I was 15, helping them with homework, cleaning up after them, meal prep, school pick up/drop off, to/from activities, bedtime routine and so on. I also used to be an english teacher for kids between 4-11. I have experiences with babies older than 1, that includes feeding them, nap time, story time, changing diapers etc. I am currently taking care of 3 kids under 5 M-F and I’m looking for job opportunities on weekends.

“Nicole was great. Friendly, kind and punctual, our 7 year old said he liked her a lot! ”

Sydney $40 per hour for 1 child

✨ Hi Families! My name is Sydney, and I’m a career nanny and family assistant with over 5 years of experience caring for children from infancy through school age. I’m currently represented through a staffing agency as I search for my next long-term family fit, but I’m also here on UrbanSitter because I genuinely love connecting with families and helping wherever I can in the meantime. I would describe myself as calm, warm, organized, and very hands-on. I love creating a home environment where kids feel safe, understood, and comfortable being themselves. Whether that’s helping with routines, planning fun activities, getting outside, helping with homework, or simply being an extra steady support for busy parents, I truly enjoy being someone families can rely on. Along with childcare, I’m happy to help with family assistant style tasks like meal prep, laundry, organization, errands, and keeping things running smoothly day-to-day. I’ve worked in long-term, travel, and rotational roles, so I’m very adaptable and comfortable in busy households. Outside of work, I love mountain biking, swimming, long-distance running, and rock climbing, and I naturally bring a very active and positive energy into my work with kids. 🤍 Right now I’m mainly looking for my next long-term fit, but I’m also open to temporary help, date nights, weekends, and short-term support for families who need an extra hand.
