Booked by 117 families in Brisbane, CA

Hi! My name is Erin and I'm the oldest of three kids and a recent(ish) college grad. I'm offering child care, pet care, and household services. I have experience working with babies and toddlers in a childcare setting, elementary school-age children in a sleep-away camp setting, and high schoolers in a residential dorm setting. I have a compassionate and collaborative approach to conflict resolution that prioritizes sensitivity and empathy to anyone I'm interacting with. I've led children in arts and crafts, games, and intentional conversations, which would translate well into taking children to the playground, on walks, or helping with homework. My pet sitting experience so far as been with cats and dogs (check in visits, feeding, walks, and clean up), but I'm definitely open to working with other pets. For household services, I can cook, clean, do laundry, and lightly organize.

Hello, I'm Jessica, a 34-year-old Brazilian currently studying Respiratory Care. My passion for caring for children began at the age of 16, looking after my cousins. I have extensive experience with infants and toddlers, although I adore children of all ages! On sunny days, I enjoy trips to the park or leisurely walks, and on rainy days, we can engage in creative activities like coloring, painting, or fort building. Outside of childcare, I relish hiking, exploring new destinations, and cherishing moments with friends. I also come with excellent references attesting to my dedication and competence in childcare.

Booked by 30 families in Brisbane, CA

I’m a nanny with 8 years of experience caring for infants, toddlers, and young children, and I have full weekday availability throughout May for short-term, backup, and last-minute care. I’m especially confident with infants and early development, and I’m currently continuing my education in doula training, which has strengthened my knowledge of newborn care and postpartum support. My approach is calm, attentive, and engaging—I focus on creating a safe, nurturing environment while supporting routines and keeping children active with age-appropriate play, outdoor time, and simple activities. I’m reliable, flexible, and comfortable stepping into new environments quickly, making me a strong fit for families who need dependable daytime support on short notice.

We were anxious about finding a caretaker, as our son had been home with us since birth. We took a leap of faith by requesting a nanny through UrbanSitter, and we are so thankful Alani responded. From the day we interviewed her, she impressed us with her punctuality, respect, and confidence, which are all qualities that have carried through in her care. Alani is patient, loving, and kind (and hip!). She is always attentive and present with our son, and we quickly came to trust her, even with taking our family car on toddler-friendly outings. Our son adores her and always looks forward to seeing her. We especially appreciate the developmentally-appropriate toys and activities she introduces. His speech and social skills have grown tremendously. She is reliable, a great communicator, flexible when needed, and overall the perfect fit for our sweet boy. We feel so grateful to have her and look forward to continuing to have Alani play such a special role in our son’s life.

Hi Parents- My name is Destiny and I am a former garden educator at Emerson Elementary. Currently at Urban Farm Oasis. I’ve been working with kids since I was 14, ranging from infants to teens. I’ve worked with many families in the SF/Bay area for nearly a decade, with children of many ages. I also have experience as a tutor and would love to do educational activities and or help with school work. I have a calm energy, lots of patience, am reliable, love being outdoors, reading and imaginative play! I am CPR certified, certainly pet friendly, and like to crochet, adventure, and cook in my spare time. Looking forward to meeting you!

Booked by 45 families in Brisbane, CA

Hi! My name is Savannah. I recently graduated with a degree in Biochemistry and am currently working while preparing my applications for medical school. I've been caring for children since I was 15 and have experience with all ages from newborns to 15 years old. I've worked with large families (up to five children at once), twins and multiples, and I also have experience as a night nanny. Supporting children with special needs is especially close to my heart, my younger brother, who is 15 years younger than me, is on the autism spectrum, and that's shaped both my understanding and my approach as a caregiver. I'm CPR and EMT certified, and I'm happy to help with everything from date nights and tutoring to outdoor activities and daily routines. I genuinely love working with kids and creating a safe, supportive, and engaging environment for them to thrive in.

Savannah was great with our 4-year old. Punctual and great communication. I look forward to her sitting for us again soon!
