Experienced Postpartum Doula > Seeking a Full-Time, Long-Term Nanny Position Hi families! ❤️ My name is Flavia Costa! I’m originally from Brazil and have been living in California since 2014. I have over 10 years of professional experience caring for newborns, infants, and toddlers. I’m a Certified Postpartum Doula with extensive experience supporting families through the early stages of parenthood. Throughout my career, I’ve specialized in overnight newborn care, helping families establish healthy routines, navigate developmental milestones, and create a loving, safe, and nurturing environment for their little ones. After many wonderful years working primarily overnight, I’m excited to transition into a full-time, long-term daytime nanny position, where I can build a meaningful relationship with a family and play an active role in their children’s growth and development. I’m looking for a position offering at least 40 hours per week, ideally 40–50 hours, with a family who values open communication, trust, consistency, and a caring approach to childcare. I’m CPR certified and have excellent references from families I’ve had the pleasure of working with over the years. I currently live in Greenbrae, Marin County, and am open to opportunities throughout Marin County and surrounding areas. I would love to connect with a wonderful family looking for an experienced, reliable, nurturing, and dedicated nanny! ❤️ Warmly, Flavia Costa

“Flavia took very good care of my two children. I highly recommend her anyone who needs a baby sitter. She also thought my kids how to speak Portuguese.”

Hi, I’m Vanessa. I’m 26 years old, and I’m from Brazil. I’ll tell you a little bit about my experience. I started working at a mall, selling children’s clothes and helping parents try outfits on their kids. At that moment, I realized how much I love children, so I knew I needed to do something related to that. I started volunteering at a preschool, where I spent time with the kids. They had cooking classes and played games, and it was an amazing experience. However, I left to work for a family with a 3-year-old boy. I used to take care of him—playing, feeding him, giving him baths, and sometimes putting him to bed so his parents could have a date night. I also helped them with potty training. I stayed with this family for a year and a half, and we still keep in touch. Later, I worked for another family with two children—a girl (11) and a boy (8). We used to play, watch movies, give them fruit or dinner, and help them get ready for bed. I am someone who enjoys reading books with children, playing outdoors, exploring, and discovering new things. I am also very patient and respectful with kids. For pet parents, I am an animal lover! I grew up with dogs, so they are a big part of my life. I personally have five dogs in my home country. I also take care of a family’s pet, visiting their house to play with the animal, take it for walks, give it treats, water, and food, and spend quality time with it before leaving.

“Vanessa was great with our 2.5yo daughter. Would love to hire her again!”

My name is Marie -aude and I have been a nanny for over 20years in USA and took care of a wide range of children from newborns to preteens. I speak fluently French, Spanish and English . I am also educated and earned a Bachelor's degree in France and an associate degree in Health Science in USA as well. I am also taking early childhood education courses in Foothill college toward my ECE certificate . I have multiple skills such as cooking healthy food, driving, organizing playdates, doing art projects ( my favorite1 ) and enjoy reading children books. I also consider myself a compassionate person who believe in gently approach to teach boundaries and respect to children . Finally and most important , I always felt part of each family I worked for and always look for the same type of relationship with families .

“I met Marie while she was at a playground nannying. I was there with my kids. Marie’s attentiveness and warmth were noticeable immediately. My husband and I were new to Marin county with three little ones and no local contacts, so I asked for Marie’s contact information, and soon after she began nanny for our kids! Marie has been an absolute blessing to our family. She is energetic and loving, and always respectful and professional. She spends her free time preparing activities to bring to keep our kids stimulated and happy without screens. She respects and implements each family’s unique routines and preferences, and is excited to share ideas in the most helpful, non-judgmental way. Marie truly puts her whole heart into nannying, and any family would be lucky to work with her!”

Hi my name is Janna and I’m a caring, responsible, and patient parent offering childcare for toddlers. As a mom of a toddler, I understand how important it is to provide a safe, loving, and engaging environment where children can learn, play, and feel comfortable. Your child will be cared for alongside my own toddler, giving them the opportunity to socialize, share, and develop important social skills in a family-like setting. I enjoy reading books, doing arts and crafts, playing outdoors, and planning age-appropriate activities that encourage learning through play. I believe in gentle, respectful care and understand the importance of maintaining routines, healthy meals, naps, and open communication with parents. I will treat your child with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I’m committed to creating a warm, trustworthy environment where both children and parents feel happy and confident. I look forward to meeting your family!

“I highly recommend Zhana! She is a kind, caring, patient, and responsible person who genuinely loves children. She is trustworthy, reliable, and always approaches everything with care and dedication. I believe any family would be lucky to have her!”

"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)."
