My name is Priscila, I am 35 years old, and have BA in International Relations. I've been taking care of kids for more than ten years in total. During this period I've been working with multiples families in Bay Area, and I have experiences from new borns to teenagers. My previous jobs were: - A family in San Anselmo with 3 kids (new born, 18mo and 5yo), we worked together for 3 years. - A family from Terra Linda who has two boys (2 yo and 15mo), we also did a nanny share with the youngest one, and with two other boys who were 18mo, and 21mo. - A family in San Anselmo who has a boy (6mo). - A nanny share with two families in San Rafael, the kids were 3mo and 6mo when I started, and now they are 5 years old :) I currently work as a realtor, but I do love kids, and I miss being around them, I’m not a mom yet, and I would like to help you babysitting your children during the weekend so you can enjoy some free times! I like the expression of “placing your eggs in different basket”, and in the future I have this goal of opening a day care, so it will be nice to do some networking now to achieve my plans in the future! I have the Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED from American Red Cross, and I'm fully vaccinated from flu and Covid 19. I used to be a baby sitter in The Palm Plaza Hotel Resort, taking care of kids from 3 months to 2 years. Also I used to be a teacher at Baptist Church, taking care of kids from 5 months to 10 years. My grandmother and my aunt are pedagogies, my mother is also a nanny, and I learned many things with them about children's development. I also love reading books about kid’s education, and I highly recommend the documentary from Netflix called “Babies”, it’s really good! With that being said, I’m constantly educating myself to treat your children as they were mine, to keep them safe, and to become the best mother I will be in the future! I’m looking forward in assisting your family soon!

"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."
