Hello parents! My name is Livia, I’m 32 years old, and I’m originally from Brazil. One of the things I love most about being a childcare provider is getting to know each child and building a genuine connection with them. Every child has their own personality, and I believe children thrive when they feel safe, respected, and truly seen. I love the Montessori philosophy and enjoy using many of its principles in my daily work. At the same time, I understand every family is unique, so I always respect each family’s parenting style and adapt my care to what works best for their child. I’ve been caring for children for several years in both Brazil and the U.S. I worked as an au pair from 2019 to 2021, and since then I’ve been working as a professional nanny, primarily with infants and toddlers while caring for children of all ages. I recently graduated from Berkeley City College with degrees in Liberal Arts and Gender Studies, and I continue taking courses in child development because I genuinely love learning. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, have completed Child Safety training through the American Red Cross Learning Center, and have a clean driving record with my own reliable car. One of the most meaningful experiences of my life was volunteering in Tanzania, where I cared for children in a daycare while supporting a girls’ education project. I speak Portuguese, English, and Spanish. I also spent three months living in Argentina, which helped me improve my Spanish while experiencing the culture. I love arts and crafts, reading, sensory play, outdoor adventures, and creating fun, developmentally appropriate activities. I’m available for date nights, weekends, overnights, travel, and I’m always happy to care for pets too. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family!

Best sitter I've worked with on this platform! :-) 11/10

Hi, I’m Gloria, I’m 29 years old and I love working with children. I have experience caring for little ones of all ages. I consider myself a responsible, loving, patient person who is always attentive to children’s well-being. I have training in child development, first aid, and pediatric CPR, as well as references that can confirm my work. I like to create an environment of trust and fun, with games, educational activities, and lots of love. I can prepare simple and healthy meals and organize routines that adapt to each child’s needs. In case of an emergency, I know how to act calmly and effectively thanks to my training. More than just babysitting, my goal is to support children in their growth and learning, in an environment full of respect and joy. I’m available for interviews and happy to share references. It will be a pleasure to meet you!

I really enjoy working with kids and being a part of their learning journey and experiences. I also enjoy helping parents and families to make life a little easier! I have more than 7 years of experience taking care of children in their home setting. During the school year I work within San Francisco Public Schools as a mental health therapist with elementary and middle school aged children. Let's set up a time to video chat or have a phone call before the initial babysitting start date, so I can learn more about your family and what you are looking for! I look forward to hearing from you!

Ilana was great. On time and communicative and even on a night where they could just watch movies she mixed in some pauses and games to get the kids moving and not just being tv zombies.

Hello there! I'm Haley, an experienced childcare worker with four years of experience. I'm currently seeking a full-time nanny role or a part-time position. My experience includes teaching infant and toddler classrooms at a daycare, occasional work with older kids, and tutoring at the high school and college level. I studied Data Science at UC Berkeley, and worked as a lab assistant in computer science and data science courses. I can also assist with meal prep and cooking. As a nanny, creating a safe and nurturing environment is my priority. I enjoy my work because I can watch kids grow and develop into amazing human beings, and being a part of that process is so invaluable. Outside of childcare, I like being outdoors or cooking for friends and family. If you're looking for someone to join your family, my inbox is open to messages. I would love to chat with you!

Haley is fantastic. She did great with my gifted and neurodivergent child.

Hi Families, I’m currently seeking a position as a Family Assistant / Babysitter. I have several years of experience supporting families with a wide range of household tasks to help busy lives run more smoothly.

I’m fluent in English and Portuguese, and I understand a good amount of Spanish and French, which can be helpful in multilingual households. I’d be happy to provide references from the many wonderful families I’ve supported over the years. Looking forward to connecting with a great family! Warmly, Melissa

"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)."
