Hi hi 👋🏾 My name is Brianna, but call me “Bri.” I’ve been living in San Francisco for 11years, originally from Texas. I’m the eldest daughter of 4, so I’ve been raising kids since birth. My favorite job though is being an auntie (tee tee Bri) to my 5 nieces and nephews. They are my world. I do a little bit of everything related to pregnancy, postpartum, and early childhood. I am a brand new midwife, a registered nurse, a midwife assistant at 2 birth centers, childbirth educator, and birth and postpartum doula to over 75 families. I was also exclusively a baby nanny 2[removed], and still actively babysit and nanny in my spare time. Professionally, I’ve developed great relationships with families, who are more than willing to provide glowing references/reviews, and I have made life long friends in the process. I also deeply value safety. I am CPR/BLS/ACLS certified. Also Trustline verified, and up to date on all vaccines, including COVID, TDAP, and flu. I love working with families, and building solid relationships. It brings me so much joy. Please feel free to reach out with your family needs. My rates vary based on service/number of children/specific family needs, but here’s a baseline guide: Babysitting- $40/hr 1 kid Daytime PP Doula- $60/hr Night Nurse- $70/hr Events- $100/hr (5+ children) When booking, all I ask is that you pay for the time you booked, for example babysitting 1-4 is $120, even if you decide to come home early. And, if you cancel less than 24hrs, I ask that you pay for the time you booked. Please feel free to message me with any needs! More than happy to hop on the phone, zoom, or chat via messages. Blessings! Bri

“Brianna was great - timely, great with the kids, adaptable, and warm persona! ”

I have over 15 years’ experience in Nanny/Babysitting. I adopted my niece and nephew (both at birth) at the age of 19 so I've had a lot of experience with children. I love being able to help parents and know that as a parent it is comforting to be confident that your child is not only being watched but is also having fun and safe. I am that Aunt/nanny, that will be silly and dance and sing if it makes the kids laugh, as long as they are having fun and learning!

Booked by 14 families in Santa Ana, CA

Hello. My name is iara. I'm 28 years old and I have been working as a nanny for 8 years now. I've recently graduated from CSULB with a degree in International Studies. For the last four years, I have been working as a night nanny taking care of newborns overnight so the parents could sleep. My job consists of taking care of the babies (from the day they came from the hospital), changing diapers, feeding them, burping, and helping them fall back asleep while documenting everything to let the parents know. I also help parents stabling a routine, learn about their baby, and navigate life with a newborn. I have had the pleasure to work with a lot of amazing families with twins, preemies, etc. I love helping parents with their babies and I also don't mind doing chores around the house while the baby sleeps. I have certifications from reputable institutions such as "newborn care solutions", and CPR, and I'm also fully vaccinated. I have my transportation and can provide as many references as needed. If you have any questions and would like to talk more, please feel free to contact me.

"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."
