Booked by 1 family in Mill Valley, CA

I have worked in early childhood education for over 8 years. I am a mother of two children. I love working with children, I have BA degree in Early Childhood Education, teacher's permit and CPR and first aid certification. I am committed to creating a safe, healthy, inclusive, and multicultural learning environment. I focus on teamwork and building good relationships with children and parents, becoming an indispensable partner in children's learning and growth and a trustworthy partner for families. I can speak Mandarin, Cantonese, and English. I am a new member of UrbanSitter and look forward to working with you and your child.

We feel fortunate for our children to be under the care of Angel. She is truly a professional and my toddler immediately took to her. I’ve never seen anything like it. Every time she comes to our house she brings something new and interesting. I feel like her time with our children isn’t just about watching them but is also about enriching and educating them. On top of that she’s prompt and an excellent communicator. I sincerely appreciate her so much and think any family would be lucky to work with her.

Hi, my name is Gislaine. I’m originally from Brazil and 46 years old. I am a responsible, dedicated childcare professional with extensive experience caring for newborns, twins, and toddlers, available for weekdays, weekends, and evenings. I specialize in creating engaging, fun, and developmentally appropriate activities that support children’s growth and learning. I am CPR certified and trained in sleep routines, and I hold certifications as a Postpartum Doula, with additional training in Montessori methods and lactation support. I am also happy to assist with light housekeeping and organization related to the children, helping to keep the home running smoothly and minimizing parents’ workload. I am fluent in Portuguese, Mandarin Chinese, Spanish, and English, and I hold a Bachelor’s degree in International Business. As a mother of two sons whom I raised on my own—both now college graduates—I bring not only professional experience but also deep personal understanding, patience, and care. I truly love working with children and would be happy to support your family.

Gislaine responded to a last minute request to babysit when my daughter got sick and I couldn't be at home for the full day. When she came to the house, she asked great questions, played with my daughter, and comforted her. She was very responsive throughout the day and sent me updates. I plan to have her come back tomorrow.

Booked by 3 families in Mill Valley, CA

a mother myself, I bring both personal understanding and hands-on experience in caring for children of all ages. I truly enjoy engaging kids in meaningful ways-whether through reading, painting, games, outdoor activities, or simply supporting their daily routines with patience and care. Families describe me as loving, reliable, and attentive. I'm also highly organized, a strong multitasker, and always punctual. Beyond childcare, I'm a dedicated yoga practitioner, naturally caring, and an animal lover. With excellent references available, I am confident in my ability to provide a safe, nurturing, and joyful environment for your children.

Jessica is INCREDIBLE. She’s a mother herself and so taking care of children is natural, intuitive, and she genuinely loves and cares for kids. She handled the full morning routine for my 3 kids when I was out of town, including driving them to school, and knocked it out of the park. We’ve had her support multiple times since. She is warm and lovely to be around. Jessica is truly a gem!
