Hi! My name is Bruna, and I’m a caring, responsible, and trustworthy babysitter with over 4 years of experience caring for children of all ages. I’m currently looking for occasional jobs, especially date nights, weekends, or last-minute help. I absolutely love working with kids and being someone families can count on when they need a safe, dependable helping hand. Over the years, I’ve cared for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-aged children. I’m comfortable following each family’s specific routines and adjusting to what each child needs to feel happy, calm, and secure. Whether it’s helping with a bottle and bedtime or creating fun activities to keep older kids entertained, I bring patience, creativity, and genuine care to every situation. Some of the activities I love doing with kids include reading stories, arts and crafts, dancing, imaginative games, and spending time outside. I also enjoy helping with homework, preparing snacks or light meals, and sticking to your family’s evening routines. I make sure every child feels safe and comfortable while also giving parents the peace of mind they deserve when stepping away. I’m certified in CPR and First Aid for infants, children, and adults, and I take safety seriously in everything I do. I’m also happy to check in during your time away if you’d like updates or texts for reassurance. My goal is always to make your time away as stress-free as possible. Beyond childcare, I’m happy to help with light household tasks once the kids are settled—like tidying up toys, washing dishes, or folding laundry. I’m very respectful of your space and always aim to leave things better than I found them. A little more about me: I’m originally from Brazil, so I speak fluent Portuguese (and I’m happy to expose your kids to a second language if you’re interested!). I’m also a big animal lover, so I’ll be more than happy to care for your pets as well. Thank you so much for considering me! I look forward to the opportunity to support your family and become someone you can trust and rely on.
Hi, my name is Matteo and I am a junior transferring to UC Davis in the fall. I am studying clinical psychology with an emphasis in child development. I have a special interest in neurodiversity, including ADHD and ASD. I enjoy working with school age children and have an easy time establishing rapport with kids of all ages. I’m familiar with different child developmental stages and like to tailor activities to kids’ individual interests. I am available throughout the summer for child care.
“Matteo lives on our block and I've known him and his parents since he was a little kid. Since he's gotten older he's been babysitting our kids off and on for a couple of years and they love him. Like a big brother. He's always on time, very flexible, easy going, very responsible and trustworthy. Highly recommend him!”
Hi! My name is Jacqueline, but you can call me Jackie or Jax. Born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. I consider it my backyard and love exploring its ever-changing face. I have been a mother's helper since I was 12, and at 16, I had the honor of babysitting and nannying alone. People may call me a people pleaser, but I truly enjoy being part of the village and helping people and animals, any which way. It has always been fulfilling to me. Life gets super busy, so an extra helping hand doesn't hurt anyone. I am currently at Santa Monica College pursuing a nursing degree. Thanks for taking the time to read about me, and I look forward to working with you.
“Jax has been an incredible person to have around my son. She has such positive energy and is so creative with activities. I would recommend her to any friend or stranger. She is always reliable and easy to communicate with. In addition, she is always great around our dog. My son has so much fun with her and she really encourages him to be independent and try things.”
I have a strong background in education and caregiving, with years of experience supporting children of all ages and abilities. I have worked as a preschool and toddler teacher, helping young children learn through play, develop routines, and build foundational skills. I also taught elementary school for 10 years (ages 5–12) and worked as a tutor for students who needed extra academic support. In addition, I have extensive experience working with children with special needs, including children with autism and speech and language delays. I have been a special education teacher for 17 years and I have a masters degree in special education. I am skilled at providing patient, individualized care that supports communication, social-emotional growth, and daily living skills. As a parent myself, I understand the importance of creating a safe, nurturing environment where children feel secure and valued. I bring warmth, dependability, and a calm, caring presence to every caregiving role. My teaching background has given me the skills to manage routines, guide behavior positively, and engage children in fun, meaningful activities. I am experienced in supporting children of all ages and those with special needs. I understand how to adapt activities to meet each child’s unique strengths and challenges. Families can trust me to provide attentive care and support their children’s growth and well-being. I am flexible when working with children as they are all unique and have their own preferences, dislikes, personality, etc. I look forward to working with your family!

"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."
