Hi! Here's a little bit about me. I've had the joy of working with some amazing families over the years through babysitting, and I've also gained valuable experience as an after-school instructor and family advocate at a local elementary school. I'm currently in college, finishing up my degree in criminal justice. If there's anything else you'd like to know, I'd be happy to share. Thank you so much, and look forward to hearing from you soon!

Hi, I’m Vanessa. I’m 26 years old, and I’m from Brazil. I’ll tell you a little bit about my experience. I started working at a mall, selling children’s clothes and helping parents try outfits on their kids. At that moment, I realized how much I love children, so I knew I needed to do something related to that. I started volunteering at a preschool, where I spent time with the kids. They had cooking classes and played games, and it was an amazing experience. However, I left to work for a family with a 3-year-old boy. I used to take care of him—playing, feeding him, giving him baths, and sometimes putting him to bed so his parents could have a date night. I also helped them with potty training. I stayed with this family for a year and a half, and we still keep in touch. Later, I worked for another family with two children—a girl (11) and a boy (8). We used to play, watch movies, give them fruit or dinner, and help them get ready for bed. I am someone who enjoys reading books with children, playing outdoors, exploring, and discovering new things. I am also very patient and respectful with kids. For pet parents, I am an animal lover! I grew up with dogs, so they are a big part of my life. I personally have five dogs in my home country. I also take care of a family’s pet, visiting their house to play with the animal, take it for walks, give it treats, water, and food, and spend quality time with it before leaving.

“Vanessa was great with our 2.5yo daughter. Would love to hire her again!”

Hi! I’m Juliana. I’m an experienced nanny who has been working with families in Marin County for nearly five years, with over eight years of experience caring for children of different ages, from infants to school-aged children. I’m originally from Colombia, fluent in both English and Spanish, and currently a college student with a strong educational background. My experience includes working as an au pair, nanny, babysitter, and in educational settings with groups of children. I’m responsible, caring, organized, and reliable. I enjoy creating a safe and engaging environment through educational play, arts and crafts, outdoor activities, and age-appropriate routines that encourage independence and confidence. I also have experience with Montessori-inspired childcare. I’m a confident driver with a clean driving record and my own reliable vehicle. I value clear communication with parents and would love to connect with a family looking for an experienced, dependable, and loving nanny!

“Juli is a warm, caring, and wonderful nanny who has taken care of my 2 kids from ages 10 months to 5 years old. I cannot recommend her highly enough!”

My name is Marie -aude and I have been a nanny for over 20years in USA and took care of a wide range of children from newborns to preteens. I speak fluently French, Spanish and English . I am also educated and earned a Bachelor's degree in France and an associate degree in Health Science in USA as well. I am also taking early childhood education courses in Foothill college toward my ECE certificate . I have multiple skills such as cooking healthy food, driving, organizing playdates, doing art projects ( my favorite1 ) and enjoy reading children books. I also consider myself a compassionate person who believe in gently approach to teach boundaries and respect to children . Finally and most important , I always felt part of each family I worked for and always look for the same type of relationship with families .

“I met Marie while she was at a playground nannying. I was there with my kids. Marie’s attentiveness and warmth were noticeable immediately. My husband and I were new to Marin county with three little ones and no local contacts, so I asked for Marie’s contact information, and soon after she began nanny for our kids! Marie has been an absolute blessing to our family. She is energetic and loving, and always respectful and professional. She spends her free time preparing activities to bring to keep our kids stimulated and happy without screens. She respects and implements each family’s unique routines and preferences, and is excited to share ideas in the most helpful, non-judgmental way. Marie truly puts her whole heart into nannying, and any family would be lucky to work with her!”

"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."
