Booked by 7 families in Mountain View, CA

I’m a 26-year-old nanny with over two years of experience as an au pair and several years working with families throughout the Bay Area. I have experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to school-aged kids and I’m currently getting certified as a postpartum doula. I studied law in Brazil and occasionally help my mom with her law firm, which has strengthened my organization, responsibility and communication skills. I’m fluent in Portuguese and English, speak basic Spanish and I used to play soccer in Brazil, which helps me bring fun, energy and active play into my caregiving. I’m caring, reliable, and dedicated to creating a safe, nurturing and engaging environment where children can thrive.

Dominick arrived on time, and my 7yo and 9yo boys had lots of fun with her! When my husband arrived home, they were flying paper airplanes together. We would love to have her back!

Hi! My name is Catia — I’m 25 years old and based in Palo Alto. I have several years of experience working with children from toddlers through elementary school, both in private homes and educational settings. I currently work as a Program Manager with Right At School at Ohlone Elementary, where I lead after-school programs that support kids’ social, emotional, and academic growth. Alongside that, I’ve provided nanny and babysitting care for multiple families over the years, caring for children as young as 4months up to 5 years old. I love creating fun, engaging, and safe environments for kids to learn and explore through play. I’m also CPR and First Aid certified, bilingual in Spanish, and experienced with supporting children with different learning and behavioral needs. Families describe me as responsible, kind, and dependable, and I truly enjoy building positive relationships with both kids and parents. I’d love to bring that same energy and care to your family! -Catia :)

My daughter loved playing with Catia! She was very fun and engaged with art projects and playing dolls :) We would love to have her back another time!

Angelina $30 per hour for 1 child

I truly enjoy spending time with children and creating a safe, caring, and fun environment where they can learn, play, and feel comfortable. Over the years I have gained experience working with kids of different ages. I worked for two years as a children’s activity animator in a tourist village with children ages 5–12. I also spent two years as an au pair in California, one year as an au pair in Belgium, and one year as a nanny in Austria. Currently I study psychology and child development, which helps me better understand children’s emotions and development. In the past few months I have also been babysitting part-time for several families. Through my experience as an au pair, I am comfortable cooking, helping with light housekeeping, organizing the home, and supporting families with daily routines. I can speak four languages fluently, and I also have some knowledge of Spanish. I can drive, i am responsible, patient, and attentive, and I value positive and supportive environment. Thank you!

Hi! I'm a college student with several years of experience working with children of all ages. This summer, I worked as a site assistant and a teacher with Destination Science, where I led fun, hands-on STEM activities while ensuring every child felt safe, included, and engaged. I've also worked as a babysitter and day camp counselor at the MJCC, supervising children, organizing games and crafts, helping with meals, and creating a positive environment. During high school, I taught at a dance clinic, which strengthened my leadership, communication, and patience while working with young children. I'm responsible, dependable, and energetic, and I genuinely enjoy helping kids learn, grow, and have fun. Whether it's keeping children entertained, assisting with homework, preparing simple meals, or helping with bedtime routines, I'm committed to providing families with reliable and attentive care.

Jessica C 2 reviews
$30 per hour for 1 child

My name is Jessica, and I bring a strong blend of experience, education, and genuine care to every family I work with. With a background as an Au Pair in the U.S., professional Nanny, and two years as a Teacher Assistant in Brazil, I have cared for children from infancy to school age, creating safe, structured, and joyful environments where kids can thrive. I am CPR and First Aid certified and hold an RPC (Responsible Program Candidate) certificate from my pre-Au Pair training, which focused on child development, safety, and positive discipline. Additionally, I hold a technical degree in Nutrition (Brazil), which allows me to support healthy eating habits and prepare balanced meals for children if necessary. I will always prioritize the choices and preferences of the parents first. My approach combines warmth, responsibility, and creativity. I love organizing engaging activities—arts and crafts, outdoor play, reading, and routines—always adapted to the child’s age and interests. What I can provide for your family: • Loving, attentive care for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children • Support with routines: feeding, naps, diaper changes, and developmental milestones • Fun activities and homework assistance • Reliability, punctuality, and clear communication Families often describe me as caring, trustworthy, and proactive. I take pride in being a calm, positive presence for children, helping them feel safe and happy. If you want, I’d be happy to share my complete CV. Looking forward to meeting your family and providing exceptional care!

Jessica worked at our school in Brazil, where I am the director and owner, caring for children from 3 months to 6 years old. She spent the mornings assisting with the care of the children in the nursery and the afternoons as a teacher assistant in a classroom with 4- to 5-year-olds. She was professional, dedicated, punctual, extremely reliable, affectionate with the children, and maintained a happy, healthy, and safe environment for them. I 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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

"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)."
