Hello my name is Kiara, I am 26 years old. I have tons of experience baby sitting and nannying children from newborns to 12 years old! I speak English and Spanish fluently and know a bit of ASL and Portuguese as I am still learning. I have my own car and license since I was 16, a clean record no tickets or accidents at all! I am adult and pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED certified. Fully vaccinated. I also have credits in child development. School is currently on my pause as I want to pursue becoming a birth/postpartum doula first but my major of study is psychology focusing on children as I want to become a child psychologist in the long run. I was a live in nanny to an amazing European family with 2 boys in San Diego. A live in nanny to a family in Chino and night nanny/ travel nanny to the sweetest non verbal boy in West Covina as well. I have also had plenty of short term families all over the U.S since I tend to travel a lot and babysit everywhere I go which leads to me being an au pair in New Zealand, Spain and Brazil! I also worked as a behavior interventionist for children on the autism spectrum and as a teacher assistant at a daycare. I also spent some time working with elderly and hospice patients. I have experience with ADHD children, twins, potty training and administering medication (pills and injections)

“Kiara was warm and jumped right in to play with our boys and read to them when she arrived. Would hire her again!”

Dear wonderful families, Greetings from San Francisco! As a native of this vibrant city, I have been fortunate to grow up in a big family, surrounded by children. These early experiences have shaped my childcare ethics and instilled in me a deep understanding of the joys and challenges that come with caring for little ones. As an energetic and proactive nanny, I take great pleasure in creating child-friendly activities that engage and excite young minds. Sensory play is one of my specialties, as I believe it is crucial to tailor activities to each child's age and developmental stage. Whether it's exploring different textures, colors, or sounds, I strive to provide enriching experiences that foster growth and learning. Being a non-smoker, I prioritize the well-being of the children in my care. I actively promote language development through reading, singing (even if my singing voice isn't the best, I give it my all), and storytelling. Each child is unique, and I find great joy in learning about their individual personalities, tailoring my approach to meet their specific needs and interests. With a vivid imagination, I love to plan spontaneous outings, organize fun playdates, and incorporate music and dancing into our daily routines. Creating a dynamic and joyful environment is my goal, where children can explore, express themselves, and have a blast. Every moment spent with children, regardless of age or special needs, is a source of immense fulfillment and happiness for me. Looking ahead, my dream is to establish my own in-home daycare and become a family consultant. Each day, I work towards these aspirations, taking steps closer to achieving my goals. It is a journey filled with excitement and growth, and I am grateful for the opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of the children and families I encounter. I am committed to providing exceptional care, nurturing creativity, and supporting your child's development. Together, we can create a loving and stimulating environment that fosters growth and happiness. -Stefany Nini poppins❤️

“Stefany is an obvious pro. Great communicator. Highly recommend!”

I have 4+ years experience working with kids. Both babysitting, tutoring, and working in a daycare as well. I love kids of all ages and have taken care of newborns through middle school age kids. I am energetic and responsible, I love planning art activities, taking the kids on a walk to a park, going to the beach or a museum (with parent approval) or a night at home playing games and watching movies/reading books! I have experience helping children finish their homework so I have no problem making sure study time happens as well. :) I am also CPR certified.

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
