Hey there, I'm Bruna, 34 years old. I've been working with kids for over 10 years, starting back in 2010 when I volunteered at an orphanage. Since then, I've worked in preschools, and taking care of children from newborns to 15-year-olds. I've handled nanny shares, looked after more than 5 kids at once, and helped out at events like weddings and birthdays. I also have experience working with kids and teens with disabilities and different needs. Before moving to the United States in 2016, I finished university in Brazil in 2015. Now, I'm a Family Assistant in the Bay Area, taking care of 3 kids and helping with errands. I've got training in Early Childhood Education and I'm fluent in English, Portuguese, and Spanish. I'm legally allowed to work in the US, I've got my own car and a California Driver's License, and I'm certified in Basic Life Support (BLS), as a Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA), and I'm infant qualified. Policy: Hours scheduled: The amount of hours first requested by the family is the amount paid at the end each booking, even though they get home early than the ending tome specified on the booking.

Throughout my career, I have worked as an au pair, daycare provider, private nanny, nanny-share nanny, sitter, ESL teacher, and tutor. I am warm, dependable, organized, and proactive, and I strive to create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn, explore, and thrive. I enjoy planning age-appropriate activities, encouraging independence, spending time outdoors, and supporting each child’s unique developmental journey. For full-time roles, I thrive in positions where I can confidently manage a child’s day, maintain consistent routines, and create engaging, developmentally appropriate experiences. I especially enjoy long-term partnerships built on trust, communication, and collaboration. I am certified in: • Red Cross Adult, Child & Infant CPR, First Aid, and AED • Build My Brain Training • Poison Prevention and Safety in Child Care Programs • Abusive Head Trauma (Shaken Baby Syndrome) Prevention • Supporting Emotional Development in Infants and Toddlers • Establishing Positive Relationships with Families • Understanding Infant and Toddler Development I look forward to supporting your family and becoming a positive part of your child’s village.

Lynette was amazing with our 11 month son. It felt like they became best friends instantly. I could hear him giggling throughout the day. Sometimes he can take a bit to go to sleep, but she had a magic touch. We would definitely hire her again.

Hi lovely families, I’m Maria, 53, high energy, artsy and positive thinking nanny with 39 years of professional child care exp. I’ve always had a special connection to kids. They are my people! Most recently, I was a nanny for 4 years to two children in Ingleside until they both went to daycare/school full time. I’ve been a long term nanny twice to two sets of twins from two families. The first set for 10 yrs. Next set for 3 yrs. I’ve taken care of hundreds of children from newborn to 17. I’m extremely proud of my first set of twins having graduated college in 2025. They are my best references;) I also ran a dog walking/cat care business in SF for 13 years. Comfortable with most pet care. I love to spark creativity by helping children discover new things each day through play, reading, music, singing aloud, creative arts and limiting screen time. I’m committed to promoting a child’s physical, mental, and emotional development. ​I supply all the loving care/support (lots of hugs and snugs). Im patient and I maintain an easy going manner but offer children clear guidelines/boundaries that promote positive behavior patterns. I am a native Californian, everyone’s cheerleader, an organizer/cleaner/minimalist, am focused on a healthy lifestyle, do not use any type of social media, haven’t owned a tv my entire adult life, am a multi tasking beast, have a pro-active get it done moving forward mentality, creative problem solver, have a big heart, my mom sent me to etiquette school so my manners are on point, have a calm demeanor but goofy sense of humor and can handle being called poo poo all day by toddlers. It happens, am i right?? Vaxxed for Covid x4 Flu Sept 2026 DTap/Tdap/TD 2026 Smallpox 1974 HepB 2016 MMR 1[removed] CPR/First Aid certified annually I do mask frequently as I have severe asthma. PLEASE PLEASE disclose if any family members are ill or have been exposed with any type of respiratory illnesses before I arrive so that I may mask up properly before starting my shift. Im an excellent driver but do not own a vehicle. Looking forward to my time with all you wonderful families! ***Cancellation/Payment Policy*** Please respect and be mindful of payment for the full amount of time posted and booked. These cherished gigs are my only source of income that my livelihood depends on. I appreciate and thank you kindly.

Great job and was friendly.

Booked by 12 families in Emeryville, CA

Hi there! I’m Naweera, and I have several years of childcare experience caring for children ranging from 9-month-old infants to children over 10 years old. I genuinely enjoy creating a safe, calm, and engaging environment for kids. I’m patient, reliable, and warm, and I bring a thoughtful, structured approach to childcare. I also have experience as a tutor, so I’m happy to help with homework across subjects like math (algebra, geometry, trig), English, and the Arts. I’m comfortable with meal prep, bedtime routines, and light cleanup, and I’m also great with pets. I like to keep kids engaged through activities, games, and conversation rather than just screen time. I especially enjoy spending time with children outdoors and fostering curiosity through activities that engage their minds and senses, such as reading, nature walks, creative play, arts and crafts, and other hands-on experiences. Happy to provide references upon request. I can't wait to meet your family!

We had Naweera do a working interview with our 10 month old. Our daughter took to her right away! Naweera was very warm, approachable, and gentle with her. We’re looking forward to working with her in the future!

"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)."
