Kyle $30 per hour for 1 child

Dear Team, With over 21 years of experience in early childhood education, my passion for watching children grow and develop has only deepened. My journey began by volunteering at my church’s Vacation Bible School, where the children affectionately referred to me as "Mr. Kyle." This experience ignited my love for being involved in their learning. At Fullerton College, I immersed myself in child development courses, earning my Associate's Degree and Childhood Teacher Certificate while gaining hands-on experience at the campus preschool. After a few years in various preschools, I returned to complete my Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education at Pacific Oaks College. This blend of education and practical experience has allowed me to create fun and supportive environments where children can thrive. I genuinely enjoy helping children discover new skills and reach their potential. I would love the opportunity to bring my experience and enthusiasm to your team. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to discussing how I can contribute to making your school a place where both teachers and parents feel confident knowing their children are in good hands.

$40 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 98 families in Rancho Santa Margarita, CA

Hi hi 👋🏾 My name is Brianna, but call me “Bri.” I’ve been living in San Francisco for 11years, originally from Texas. I’m the eldest daughter of 4, so I’ve been raising kids since birth. My favorite job though is being an auntie (tee tee Bri) to my 5 nieces and nephews. They are my world. I do a little bit of everything related to pregnancy, postpartum, and early childhood. I am a brand new midwife, a registered nurse, a midwife assistant at 2 birth centers, childbirth educator, and birth and postpartum doula to over 75 families. I was also exclusively a baby nanny 2[removed], and still actively babysit and nanny in my spare time. Professionally, I’ve developed great relationships with families, who are more than willing to provide glowing references/reviews, and I have made life long friends in the process. I also deeply value safety. I am CPR/BLS/ACLS certified. Also Trustline verified, and up to date on all vaccines, including COVID, TDAP, and flu. I love working with families, and building solid relationships. It brings me so much joy. Please feel free to reach out with your family needs. My rates vary based on service/number of children/specific family needs, but here’s a baseline guide: Babysitting- $40/hr 1 kid Daytime PP Doula- $60/hr Night Nurse- $70/hr Events- $100/hr (5+ children) When booking, all I ask is that you pay for the time you booked, for example babysitting 1-4 is $120, even if you decide to come home early. And, if you cancel less than 24hrs, I ask that you pay for the time you booked. Please feel free to message me with any needs! More than happy to hop on the phone, zoom, or chat via messages. Blessings! Bri

Brianna was great - timely, great with the kids, adaptable, and warm persona!

"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)."
