Booked by 30 families in San Bruno, 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.

Hello! My name is Corinne and I'm a student at CCSF studying to become a nurse. I've lived in San Francisco for three years and enjoy biking, hiking and knitting in my free time. I've been babysitting since I was 14 years old, and have extensive experience with infants, toddlers, and school-age children, in groups or individually. My responsibilities have included leading online schoolwork during the pandemic, and I'm comfortable tutoring and helping with homework. Outside of schoolwork, I enjoy outdoor activities, reading to children, and arts and crafts. I also have worked as a chef, and love to cook for families and teach children age-appropriate cooking tasks if they're interested! I'm CPR certified for infants, children, and adults and certified for Basic Life Support and First Aid. I'm happy to help with clean-up, errands, cooking, and other household tasks. I am also comfortable working with families with pets.

Corinne was a dream to work with and our kids loved her! We’re still hearing stories a week later of all of the fun they had. Corinne made everything feel stress free and went with the flow, which was exactly what our family needed. Highly recommend!
