Brianna $37 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Brianna, a responsible, caring, and organized nanny/babysitter with 5 years of experience caring for children from newborns to teens (15 years old). I'm currently studying Mechanical Engineering at SJSU and enjoy providing dependable, engaging, and nurturing care. I have experience with Montessori-style households and enjoy creating calm, structured environments that encourage independence and confidence. I've also coached youth soccer for children ages 2-13, helping kids stay active, build teamwork skills, and have fun. I am CPR and First Aid certified, have completed childcare and nanny courses through the American Red Cross, and have reliable transportation with a clean driving record. I'm comfortable helping with pets, light housekeeping, washing bottles and children's dishes, light meal prep for kids, errands, and basic homework help. I'd love to support a family looking for reliable and positive care!

- CPR/First Aid Certified - Love infants-older children & pets - Last minute or planned jobs! - French/other academic tutoring & sports - Happy to help with cleaning, cooking, feeding, driving, playing (inside or out), bathing I absolutely love teaching and taking care of children. I have been babysitting, caretaking, and tutoring for 15+ years and have a super flexible schedule, making it easy for parents to avoid rigid timing expectations. I have my own car and an abundance of energy to pour into your kiddos! I speak French conversationally and enjoy any academic or other learning/sports/activities you would like them to work on. Engaging in a way that they’re seen, heard, and valued is something I delight in and prioritize. I value any opportunity to serve children or parents and have worked in directing children's programs, as a nanny, and as a babysitter all throughout the years. I have experience with newborns, toddlers, and kids of all ages as I regularly take care of children.

“Maggie has been helping us out fora year and a half. She has become a wonderful friend to us and our children. We highly recommend 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)."
