Hello- My name is Brithanie and I am a fourth-year college student and currently attending CSUEB’s Nursing Program! I am CPR & First Aid certified. I also speak Spanish! I enjoy babysitting :) I have had experience with babies and children ages 1-10! I worked with a senior my first semester of college, which I enjoyed so much and learned a lot from. Taking care of others is something that I want to continue to do and gain more experience in as it will become part of my career as a nurse. Open to sitting any pets.

My names is Stephanie, and I love working with children because seeing them learn to explore, grow and have fun brings me so much joy. I’m caring, patient and I love creating a space where kids of all ages can feel safe and be themselves. I’m very responsible and compassionate and fully committed on supporting families in their different needs. I’ve been nannying for about 9 years now, and it’s more than just watching kids, I truly enjoy being around them, engaging with them, seeing how their brains work and grow. Children bring so much happiness and I love to help families experience that with out the stress of having to worry about child care. I’m new to this app, but have a lot of experience behind me. The children I have been nannying for are getting older, entering school, and the family doesn’t require me full time any more, so I’ve decided to look into longterm and short term care for others. I’d love to be considered when looking for help! Please reach out if you have any further questions!

Hello! My name is Janine and I have five years of experience working with kids. As a teenager, i took babysitting jobs and pre-pandemic, I worked as a substitute teacher at Marin Day Schools here in San francisco.During the height of covid, I have switched to being a private nanny. I enjoy working with kids immensely, and being surrounded with their bubbly and curious personalities. I am a decent cook and i can provide meals that fit your child/children's diet - having earned a certification in Child nutrition and cooking. I am a calligrapher/visual artist and can provide an environment that nurtures creativity in your young ones. Furthermore, I place heavy emphasis on fostering a child-led way of child care that is deeply rooted in kindness and respect. I enjoy cycling, bouldering, practicing yoga - all of which I give credit to helping me regulate my nervous system, as I am a firm believer of providing a calm environment for the children I take care of. I am fully vaccinated and CPR certified. Thank you for your consideration. CPR and Trustline certified.

Luna was great! She came in last minute to help with our 2 boys (7 and 3) and was confident and sweet!

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
