Hi! My name is Mirella, and I am a caring, responsible, and dependable caregiver with experience caring for children and pets. I am CPR and First Aid certified, fully vaccinated, have a clean driving record, and speak both English and Portuguese. I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children feel supported and parents feel confident. I can assist with daily routines, meal preparation, light housekeeping, homework, transportation, and engaging activities. I also love animals and have experience providing attentive and loving pet care. I am patient, organized, reliable, and committed to treating every family with kindness, respect, and professionalism. My goal is to provide exceptional care and give families peace of mind knowing their loved ones are in safe and capable hands. I have a flexible schedule and am available for weekdays, evenings, weekends, and occasional last-minute care. Although I’m new to this platform, but I have strong references from families I’ve worked with and would be happy to provide them if needed.
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 nurturing Nanny with over 6 years of hands-on childcare experience, including live-in and independent roles. Highly adaptable to each family’s unique needs, with a strong reputation for reliability, emotional intelligence, patience, and proactive support. Committed to maintaining a safe, structured, and loving environment while actively supporting parents in daily routines. Known for long-term positions, minimal absenteeism, and consistently high standards of care. Excellent cook, organized household helper, and energetic caregiver. Strong references.

“Marisol took really good care of our 1 year old. She is engaging, playing and reading books. She is also always smiling and our toddler really enjoyed hanging out with Marisol.”
Hello! My name is Elizabeth, and I have been working with children and families for over 25 years in many different settings—as a babysitter, live-in nanny, tutor, after-school and summer program leader, scout camp staff, in-patient and out-patient mental health treatment provider, facilitating parenting classes, and as a therapist specializing in youth and families. I also grew up caring for my four younger brothers, as well as many nieces and nephews, so childcare has always been a natural part of my life. Alongside childcare, I have provided professional dog and cat sitting, cared for my own pets (including a bearded dragon!), and supported families with household tasks and cleaning. For example, I worked weekly for a family in Palo Alto for eight months, helping keep their home clean and welcoming. I especially enjoy organizing and home decor. With a background in social work and mental health, I strive to create a safe, affirming space for children and families, and I am experienced in supporting LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent individuals. I hold a Master’s degree in Social Work and a minor in Music, and I enjoy incorporating creativity, patience, and structure into the care I provide. Personally, I grew up in a small mountain town in Northern Utah, but have now called the Bay Area home for the past 15 years. Outside of work, I love rock climbing, reading, playing guitar and singing, art, tabletop games, and spending time at the beach. I’m also bilingual in English and conversational/intermediate-advanced Spanish. I’m a proud parent to two wonderful kids—an 18-year-old who lives in Utah and a 5-year-old who just started kindergarten. With my youngest now in school and spending part of the week with the other parent, I have more flexibility in my schedule to provide reliable care and support for other families. I bring not only professional experience but also the heart of a parent to the work I do. I look forward to meeting you! P.S. I have been certified many times over in the past for infant and child CPR and first aid, but am not currently up-to-date. I would be happy to re-certify if needed for the right fit.

"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."
