Jaybriel $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Jaybriel 21 and Filipino! I’m a responsible, energetic, and caring person who enjoys helping others and creating a positive environment. Random fact, I am a Virgo, I’m naturally attentive, organized, patient, and detail oriented, which helps me create a safe and supportive space for the people I care for. Some of my hobbies include hiking, biking, and learning how to play the guitar. I’m also a huge family guy! I’m currently majoring in arts and film, which has helped me become very creative, expressive, and open minded. I enjoy bringing creativity into everyday activities, whether that’s through arts, music, storytelling, or fun activities. I’m very friendly, dependable, and easy to get along with. I enjoy building connections, making people feel comfortable, and being someone families can rely on. I’m also active and creative, so I enjoy keeping kids engaged through games, outdoor activities, arts, music, and helping with homework or daily routines. I have experience helping care for younger family members and assisting with household tasks such as cleaning, organizing, and maintaining a clean and welcoming space. I’m also comfortable around pets and happy to help with pet care if needed. I’d describe myself as adaptable, hardworking, trustworthy, and someone who genuinely enjoys making a positive impact on others!

Currently a Household Manager to a HNW family in SJ (signed NDA). Actively babysit a 3 year old (since 4 months) in MV, a sitter for 3 siblings ages 3,6 +8 in LG. Previously a nanny/FA to infant twins in Menlo! I taught swim lessons for ages 2-13 and volunteered with Special Olympics as a lifeguard (6 years) previously!

I cannot wait to meet you and your little(s)!! I currently hold a part time job as a Household Manager for a HNW family, and go to school part time with varying hours, so a flexible family availability is ideal! I am interested in transitioning to a full time family assistant position (with benefits) if the opportunity presents itself!

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"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."
