Hello! My name is Paula (children call me Lala/Yaga) and I’m a fun and caring 30-year-old with over 10 years of experience working with children. Throughout the years, I’ve worked as an au pair, live-in nanny, full-time nanny, co-teacher at a Reggio Emilia inspired school in Brazil, and most recently as a teacher at a nonprofit organization supporting families at risk and children with diverse medical needs. I also spent four years as a family consultant/caregiver for an amazing family in San Francisco, supporting them through infancy and toddlerhood while helping create a safe, nurturing, and developmentally supportive environment. I’m currently a master’s student at SF State for Early Childhood Education with concentration in Special Needs. Caring for children has always been my passion. I love seeing their excitement as they learn something new and the way they view the world with such imagination. I’m proactive, responsible, and have wonderful references from my past positions. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions. I’d love the chance to share my experience and work with your family! Warmly, Paula
“I can't recommend Paula enough! Her background in Early Childhood Education truly makes her exceptional. She isn't just a caregiver—she's an active teacher who cares both about the child and the family as a whole. She brings so much intentionality to our days. She plans fun, age-appropriate activities that make learning feel natural. Her knowledge of child development is clear in how well our child has developed into a thoughtful and curious young man. She's calm, professional, and I completely trust her. I also consider her language skills with Spanish and Portuguese to be an huge plus. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her as a partner!”
Hi! I’m Alyssa, a 20-year-old college student currently studying Psychology. I’ve babysat for family and friends before, and I work at a daycare school for kids ranging from infants to elementary grades. I’m calm under pressure, dependable, and able to connect with kids pretty easily. I also have experience with tutoring and enjoy cooking, so I’m happy to help with homework and meal prep when needed. I have a very flexible schedule for the summer and would love to help out! Looking forward to connecting!
“Alyssa was energetic, attentive and engaging. My daughter had an amazing time with her! ”
Hi! I’m Alyssa, a reliable and caring childcare provider with several years of hands-on experience working with children of all ages. I’m currently a lead preschool teacher, where I work closely with children ages 2–5, helping support their development through play, structure, and creativity. In addition to my professional experience, I regularly care for my younger autistic brother, which has given me strong skills in patience, communication, and understanding diverse needs. I am transitioning from preschool to 1 on 1 care because i believe the connection you make with a child is so important in helping them grow! I will be going to Sf state this fall for speech pathology and am looking for part time work to help me focus on school. I love creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment—whether that’s doing crafts, playing outside, helping with homework, or keeping a consistent routine. I’m dependable, attentive, and always aim to make both kids and parents feel comfortable and supported. Looking forward to connecting with your family!
I’m a nanny and early childhood educator with over 9 years of experience, caring for children of all ages — from infants to school-age kids. Experience includes: • Nanny in Brazil in the U.S., and Chile (+ than 5 years) • Au pair in the U.S (San Carlos CA) • Teacher assistant in early childhood education These international experiences helped me develop strong communication skills and a deep understanding of different family cultures and parenting styles. Qualifications: • Degree in Early Childhood Education (Brazil) • Fluent in English and Portuguese • Basic Spanish I’m passionate about creating a safe, fun, and educational environment. I’m responsible, caring, and truly committed to supporting each child’s growth and happiness. I joined Urbansitter in 2020, but soon after returned to Brazil and recently moved back to the U.S., which explains my limited reviews. I’m now excited to be active again and fully available for babysitting.
