Booked by 30 families in Sausalito, 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! 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!

I have a masters degree in education and have worked with kids of all ages both in and out of the classroom for nearly 20 years. I have been a babysitter, teacher, nanny and camp counselor and would love the opportunity to support you and yours with laughter, learning and fun! Personally, I love the outdoors, reading, writing, dancing, traveling and I love spending time with the people I love. Thanks so much for your time and consideration in advance! As a special education teacher, I am also offering online tutoring at the elementary level as well in the areas of reading intervention and math. Please send me a message if you are interested. Please note: I have a 4 hour minimum for babysitting and do charge for hours booked. Cash is always preferred whenever possible. Thank you greatly!

Fantastic. Will absolutely hire again!

I am cpr/1st aid certified, fully vaccinated (dtab, covid, flu). I received my Masters Degree in HR management, but I have always had passion to coming back and working with little ones again. I hope you will consider my candidacy and let me help you with taking care of your little ones. Best, Mila
