Hello. I work for an elementary school, 10+ years. Babysat for 2 families before working for a school, volunteered at preschool when my kids were attending there. That’s when I decided to work with kids. I’m very comfortable with watching pets as well. I have two children, 23 and 18 year olds. They’re both grown up which is why I am expanding my joy of working with children and pets on my spare time.
I'm a recent graduate from Loyola Marymount University (2023) with a degree in English. I am compassionate, easygoing, and have experience caring for pets and young children. I was a behavior technician for 5 months working with a young autistic boy (3 years old), and have done nannying for friends and family in the past. I am also very fond of animals and open to house-sitting and caring for cats and dogs (walks, food, playing, litterbox cleaning, etc.), and other animals as long as I am informed about what I must do. If you would like to chat before a job, feel free to reach out for a FaceTime, phone call / interview.
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.

"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."
