Hi there! My name is Larissa, I’m 27 years old and I'm from Brazil. I'm an experienced care provider living in the Sunset District . I have being working as a nanny for about 7 consecutive years and I also worked as an au pair for 2 years prior to that. I have experience with kids from the of age 4 months to 13 years old but I have mostly worked with infants and toddlers in the last 7 years. Currently I have been working full time for a family with a 3 years old ( I have been working with them since she was 10 months old) but since she’s about to start school in September, I’m looking for my next full time family. The two previous families I have worked with had multiple kids ( between 04 months old to 6 years old). I’m comfortable caring for more than one child at a time. I'm a very active person. I love spending the day out with the kids in the park, library, museums, zoo and etc. I drive my own car with my currently nanny family and I feel comfortable driving kids to any classes or activities they might have. I’m a loving and caring person and I love to help the kids learn and explore in a safe, warm and joyful environment. Arts and Crafts, age-appropriate cooking, and a storytelling are some of my favorite activities. -I’m also experienced with sleep training, starting babies on solid food and helping them learn how to crawl, walk and develop new skills. -I’m a good driver and I have a California DL (+5 years driving ) I'm comfortable with cats and dogs I’m CPR trained I’m fully vaccinated -I have great references -I’m open to nanny share - I’m available for a full time job after September 20th. Please feel free to contact me. Thank you, Larissa

Larissa is incredible! Our daughters adore her and she is an absolute gem

Hi, my name is Wendy! 👋🏼 ☺️ I have an Associate’s Degree of Arts: Social and Behavioral Sciences and I recently got my Bachelor’s in Psychology. Im starting a Grad School Program fall 2026 for a LMFT at USF. My academic goal is to be a kids therapist because I truly love working with kids and that is the reason why I like babysitting since I get an opportunity to work with them. I am the eldest daughter of 4 siblings who are all boys and that I cared for since they were born until they grow up older. So the reason why I am very patient and kind with babies, toddlers and children of any ages is because I got the experience from taking care of my little brothers. But since 2020 I have been a nanny for 5 different families for about 1 or 2 years with each long term family. I can surely provide phone numbers for recommendation as well! One thing about me is that I love talking to babies even though they can’t answer back ha! I like taking toddlers and babies on walks, to closest library or just to explore any part of your place! I also enjoy teaching them the numbers, colors and singing appropriate age songs with them as well! I also love reading books with them. And lastly with children of 6-10+ years old I like to play table games or even painting as well. I am also a Spanish and English Tutor at Grade Potential Tutoring and Tutor Hero - so if you would like me to teach/practice with your children Spanish or English that’s something I am willing to work with them too :)

Wendy was so helpful to us at the last minute! She quickly bonded with my two year old and I felt very comfortable leaving the two of them to play all day together. My daughter even woke up the next day asking for her, which was really sweet to see. Wendy was punctual, kind, a responsive communicator and we can't wait to have her back!

Hi! I’m Gina, welcome to my profile. I just moved back to the Bay Area and I’d love to be your nanny or date night sitter. I also accept last minute requests. I have over 14 years of childcare experience from teaching, nannying, and date night sitting. I’ve worked with all ages, infant through preteen and have a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies. I’m well versed in child development and personally like a Montessori style approach but happy to tailor my care to parents preferences. During my undergrad, I researched the benefits of yoga for children with Autism and ADHD. I’d be happy to share my research, if interested. When working with families, I appreciate a team player and growth mindset. When a child makes a mistake, we learn, we grow and we move past it. I like to lead with empathy, compassion, and curiosity. Families I’ve worked with describe me as nurturing, responsible and fun. Keeping your child safe is my top priority and I will care for your child as if they were my own. When caring for your child/children, I like to let the child lead the adventure. Activities I’ve done with past families are arts and crafts, playing ball with friends, storytime at the library, music class, teddy bear birthdays, and play dates at the park. In addition to caring for your child, I like to keep play area tidy, assist with laundry, and love to make kid friendly meals. A fan favorite is Brocoli Quesadilla. Outside of nannying, I am an artist and reseller. I love to thrift, paint, create pottery, doodle, and photography. I recently got into gardening and growing an herb garden. Fresh Rosemary and Cilantro here I come!

ROTA Nanny | Private Household Specialist | 10+ Years Experience as a nanny Hi! I’m Bianca — I am a professional ROTA nanny with over 12 years of experience caring for children of all ages in private households. I specialize in rotational (ROTA) nanny positions and have extensive experience working in fully staffed homes, travel roles, and long-term private family placements. I bring a calm, nurturing, and reliable presence into every home, supporting children from newborn through school age. I am CPR & First Aid certified and have completed Newborn Care Specialist training. I love creating engaging, playful, and developmentally rich days — including story time, sensory play, outdoor activities, creative projects, and hands-on learning experiences. Families describe me as intuitive, patient, and easy to communicate with. I value strong teamwork with parents and helping create stable, peaceful routines where children feel safe, seen, and supported. At the moment I am not seeking part-time or traditional weekday roles. I’d love to connect with families looking for experienced ROTA nanny support.

Looking forward to working with Bianca again!

"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."

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
