Booked by 126 families in East Irvine, CA

I am a warm, reliable pediatric occupational therapy professional, child development specialist and mom to a 15 month old girl dedicated to creating a safe, engaging, and enriching environment for every child in my care. I specialize in newborns and understand firsthand how vulnerable it can feel to leave your baby with someone new. I have experience caring for children from as young as 10 days old through the preteen years and that’s before I had my daughter. ☺️ My background in pediatric occupational therapy allows me to thoughtfully support developmental milestones through age-appropriate play, sensory activities, and individualized care. I am skilled in assisting with travel, sleep routines, parent education, and overnight care. During weekday daytime hours (Monday–Friday), I am seeking positions where I am able to bring my young child along. This arrangement can provide opportunities for social development, modeling, and interactive play in a small, nurturing environment while I continue to prioritize safety, structure, and each child’s unique needs. I’m open to part or full time for the right fit. I am also available for evening, weekend, overnight, and travel care without my child present, if preferred. Thank you — I look forward to connecting with your family!

Nicole was so awesome with your three year old and one year old! She’s so sweet and took great care of them for a full day!

Hi hi 👋🏾 My name is Brianna, but call me “Bri.” I’ve been living in San Francisco for 11years, originally from Texas. I’m the eldest daughter of 4, so I’ve been raising kids since birth. My favorite job though is being an auntie (tee tee Bri) to my 5 nieces and nephews. They are my world. I do a little bit of everything related to pregnancy, postpartum, and early childhood. I am a brand new midwife, a registered nurse, a midwife assistant at 2 birth centers, childbirth educator, and birth and postpartum doula to over 75 families. I was also exclusively a baby nanny 2[removed], and still actively babysit and nanny in my spare time. Professionally, I’ve developed great relationships with families, who are more than willing to provide glowing references/reviews, and I have made life long friends in the process. I also deeply value safety. I am CPR/BLS/ACLS certified. Also Trustline verified, and up to date on all vaccines, including COVID, TDAP, and flu. I love working with families, and building solid relationships. It brings me so much joy. Please feel free to reach out with your family needs. My rates vary based on service/number of children/specific family needs, but here’s a baseline guide: Babysitting- $40/hr 1 kid Daytime PP Doula- $60/hr Night Nurse- $70/hr Events- $100/hr (5+ children) When booking, all I ask is that you pay for the time you booked, for example babysitting 1-4 is $120, even if you decide to come home early. And, if you cancel less than 24hrs, I ask that you pay for the time you booked. Please feel free to message me with any needs! More than happy to hop on the phone, zoom, or chat via messages. Blessings! Bri

Brianna was great - timely, great with the kids, adaptable, and warm persona!

Hello!! My name is Sarah and I am a sophomore at OCC. I love to learn, try new food, and to be active. I am very patient and kind. I have 1-3 years of experience working with kids of all ages, from infants to preteens, and I love engaging them in creative spaces, outdoor activities, and educational assistance. My passion is to always create a fun, safe, and nurturing environment for children. Beyond babysitting, I have experience caring for pets dogs or cats. I grew up with a bunch of animals and I am always happy to be around animals of all sorts. I am very responsible and can help with household needs and assistance like cooking, light-cleaning, and bedtime routines.

Sarah was great! She was sweet and fun and the kids loved her!

Namina $25 per hour for 1 child

I am experienced in caring for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. I know how to feed infants, sterilize bottles, and always hold the baby after feeding. At the same time, I can take care of light household tasks, such as washing the baby’s clothes, transferring them to the dryer, and doing small cleanups like washing dishes. I am able to create a daily schedule for your child’s comfort, helping to establish a routine that also supports parents in the long term. I know many educational songs, play musical instruments, and teach children basic manners and etiquette. I can put children to sleep and gently help them transition toward independent sleep. I also know how to bathe and wash children. In addition, I can help at night when a child has colic or if parents need proper rest. I am available for additional hours with some advance notice and will always show up when needed. I am comfortable working long periods without days off, such as up to three weeks, both day and night. I strictly follow all rules and instructions provided and take my work very seriously.

I have been a nanny for over 25 years now. I have experience in all stages of life from newborn- teenagers. I am cpr certified, sleep trained, and I have completed childcare classes. I can help you run errands, cooking, and cleaning your home. I can help you with appointments and organizing your home. I have worked for the HB school district, in my spare time I bake and enjoy the outdoors! I hope to hear from you, and can’t wait to meet your family.

When Delfina walks into our house, she brings a sense of peace and confidence. Our 3 kids, 6,4, and 1 enjoy their time with her every time she visits. She is very engaging, respectful, and curious to learn more about our children. I have nothing but respect for the selfless attitude that she exhibits. Very prompt in her responses as well.

"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

"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)."
