Booked by 6 families in San Carlos, CA

Hello- My name is Briana and I’m currently employed as a para educator. I work regular school hours, therefore am seeking babysitting opportunities that are in the afternoons on week days and am flexible with the times on weekends. A bit about me is that I am bilingual (English and Spanish), a big time animal lover, and I love the outdoors. I’ve been employed in the school setting for 3 years now and have gained experienced working with students from diverse backgrounds and with a range of learning necessities. I look forward to connecting with your family!

“Briana was fantastic! She arrived on time, immediately connected with our kids, and made them feel comfortable and happy. She’s warm, attentive, and truly engaged — she played with them, spoke to them in Spanish as we requested, and kept everything running smoothly. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such great hands. We’d love to have her back anytime! ”

"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."
