I am a 21-year-old Brazilian nanny with around seven years of experience caring for children, especially infants from 0 to 11 months. I have always been passionate about childcare—ever since my first contact with a baby, even when I was still a child myself, I naturally developed a strong caregiver instinct. I am CPR and First Aid certified, I drive, and I can speak both Portuguese and English. I truly believe caring for children is a mutual exchange: while I help shape their early development with love, patience, and responsibility, they also teach me and help me grow as a person. I genuinely enjoy providing safe, attentive, and loving care to these little human beings.
Dedicated and reliable professional with experience in childcare for over 15 years , customer service, cooking, and housekeeping. Currently working as a Paraeducator, assisting teachers and supporting students’ learning and development. Skilled in providing high-quality care for children, preparing meals, maintaining clean and organized environments, and supporting families with daily routines. Known for being responsible, hardworking, and friendly, with a strong commitment to teamwork and excellent service.
“Maria cared for our daughter from the time she was just three months old until she started school. During those years, she proved to be exceptionally reliable, professional, and caring. She always arrived on time, communicated clearly, and showed genuine love and attention to my daughter needs. Maria was attentive to every detail, from feeding and diaper changes to engaging our daughter in age appropriate developmental activities that helped her grow and thrive. Her calm and nurturing personality created a safe, happy environment that gave us complete peace of mind. Maria treated our home and family with the utmost respect, and we always knew our daughter was in excellent hands. We were truly sad to see her go when our little one began school. I highly recommend Maria to any family looking for a trustworthy, experienced, and loving caregiver. Jessica M.”
Hello! I’m a patient, dependable, and compassionate caregiver with years of hands-on experience caring for children, seniors, individuals with special needs, and animals. I helped care for my grandmother by assisting with her daily routine and medications. I also regularly looked after my younger sibling and many young relatives while my parents were busy. I have personal experience helping care for my brother with cerebral palsy, and in school I volunteered with classmates with down syndrome and dyslexia, supporting them with classroom activities. I’ve also cared for animals throughout my life. I’ve raised cats and dogs, cared for rabbits, birds, fish, and chickens, and fostered many stray cats until they were adopted. I nursed injured and sick stray cats and dogs back to health, cared for pregnant cats, and assisted during births when needed. I’m attentive, calm under pressure, and committed to providing safe, loving, and reliable care to every person and pet I look after.
Hi! My name is Sofia, and I am currently offering my services for childcare, senior care, and animal care. I have worked with children in some capacity or another for over 10 years, including as a social worker, higher education professional, horseback riding teacher, and camp counselor. I have extensive experience in caretaking for children ages 4 and up and lots of animals, too! I enjoy crafting, spending time outdoors, and being a supportive and positive presence for children of all ages. I am happy to help with homework if needed and light household chores. I am also comfortable with some degree of senior care and have experience caring for those with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. I hold my bachelor's degree from the University of San Francisco, am currently earning a professional coaching certification, and happy to provide my resume and references if needed.
“Sofia is kind, prompt, and responsible. She always goes above and beyond. She is also very communicative.”
Hi, my name is Jessica. I’m originally from Madagascar and was raised in the Bay Area, fluent in both English and Malagasy. Caring for children has been a passion of mine for over a decade, and I have a strong background in child development. I’ve worked with children ages 1 to 14, helping them learn, grow, and have fun in a safe, supportive, and stimulating environment. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each child’s individual needs, and I enjoy being part of a family’s daily life helping with homework, activities, schedules, and even caring for pets. I have a clean driving record, am fully vaccinated, and can provide references, as well as my detailed nanny resume highlighting my previous experience. I would be honored to bring my experience, energy, and care to your family and help make your days a little easier while supporting your children’s growth and happiness.

"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."
