| Bilingual in Spanish and have a car | Hi, there! I’m Zulma. I am offering childcare and household services. I grew up being the baby of my family until high school when my little sibling was born. Afterwards, my oldest sibling had my niece and nephew, so I started taking care of and watching over younger ones since I was 15. I currently work full-time in the non-profit sector. I was previously working in the youth sector in the East Coast and miss my kiddos! I have experience running fun events, tutoring & mentoring, driving to/from locations, preparing meals for children, and many other responsibilities. I grew up with many cats throughout my childhood and currently have one of my own, so I am comfortable handling them. Additionally, I grew up helping my mom in her housecleaning job, so I always make sure to leave a place better than it was left. Open to chatting with folks. Thank you!
About Me Hello! I am a caring, dependable, patient, and energetic childcare professional with many years of experience working with children of different ages, including infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age children. I currently work as a Head Teacher in early childhood education and an after-school program, where I provide a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for children to learn and grow. I truly enjoy working with children and love planning age-appropriate activities such as arts and crafts, reading, outdoor play, educational games, and hands-on learning experiences. I understand that every child is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, interests, routines, and individual needs. Safety, patience, communication, and building trusting relationships with children and families are very important to me. I am responsible, friendly, outgoing, and someone parents can feel comfortable having in their home and caring for their children. I believe children should feel safe, supported, respected, and encouraged while also having fun. I am looking forward to connecting with families who need a reliable and experienced nanny or babysitter. I would love the opportunity to become someone your family and children can trust and depend on. Looking For I am looking for part-time, occasional, weekend, evening, or date-night nanny and babysitting opportunities. I am comfortable caring for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age children. I am happy to help with children's activities, playtime, reading, arts and crafts, homework support, meals and snacks, bedtime routines, and keeping children's areas organized. I am looking for a family that values a caring, dependable, patient, and experienced caregiver.
Hi! I’m Giovana! 😊 I’m originally from Brazil and have been living in the Bay Area for about three years now. I’m a teacher in Brazil, and since moving to the us, I’ve been looking for opportunities where I can apply the experience I gained back home. I worked as a teacher for about four years before moving here, but I’ve always had kids around me! I grew up helping take care of my younger sisters and also worked as a nanny in Brazil. I was an au pair in the us for two years, and after finishing my program, I continued working as a nanny. I’ve now been nannying for a little over a year since then. I graduated in Brazil with a degree in Education/Pedagogy and also have extensive experience working with children with special needs. I’m mostly available on Fridays and weekends, and I’d love to connect with families who could use a little extra help during the weekend! 😊💕 • CPR certified • Advanced English speaker • Basic Spanish speaker • Valid driver’s license with no restrictions thanks families!
As a certified teacher with a decade of childcare experience, I'm passionate about nurturing children's growth. My calm and creative personality helps me engage children in educational and fun activities. I keep parents updated on their child's day through written reports and use their preferred communication method. I'm comfortable following the household rules set by the parents and have experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens. I'm also fluent in English and Portuguese. Adding to all, I am certified for First Aid and Child Nutrition and Cooking. By now, my priority is to keep the kids safe while nurturing a playful environment where they can develop their set of skills and personality. I`m fully vaccinated. I believe in supporting families and providing reliable care. It brings me joy to see the positive impact I have on children's lives. I would be thrilled to be a part of your family and look forward to getting to know you and your children.

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
