I specialize in rapid-response backup, occasional, temporary, recurring care for infants, toddlers, and busy executive families across the Bay Area. I have experience nannying all around the USA- in NYC, Hawaii, Arizona, Los Angeles, Portland OR, and Las Vegas. Why Families Hire Me: Background and Safety: Honorably discharged U.S. Coast Guard veteran. Experienced with high-profile/corporate families; fully comfortable signing NDAs.

Engaging and Creative: I bring age-appropriate art, museum trips, and interactive learning to every shift to keep children active and engaged. My education in child development and art keeps my childcare fun, yet educational for the children. I have been doing theater since I was 4, so I understand the importance of the arts in childcare.

Booked by 25 families in Redwood City, CA

Hi - My name is Mariana and I’m looking for a 2 part time, weekdays, one in the morning one afternoon, open for a full time was well, and babysitting. Start in November I love working with kids and have experience caring for children from 6 months to 11 years old. I’m comfortable with everything from diaper changes to preparing meals, and I bring a mix of fun and learning to our time together — reading stories, coloring, puzzles, going to the park, and even the occasional dance party. I’m responsible, organized, and genuinely enjoy spending my days with kids. I’m CPR certified, a strong swimmer, fully vaccinated, and a safe driver.

“Mariana is an excellent babysitter. She is extremely professional and courteous. She’s experienced, confident, and communicated very well with our five year old daughter who is looking forward to playing with her again. She arrived a few minutes earlier and immediately dove in and engaged with our daughter. We are looking forward to having her babysit our daughter soon.”

Booked by 10 families in Redwood City, CA

Hi there! My name is Vitoria, I am 26 years old and I’m from Brazil. I’m looking for a full-time and I’m available for occasional jobs. I’m pet-friendly, non-smoker, strong driver - no accidents and clean record, fully vaccinated, and child/infant CPR certified. I’ve been working with kids for about 8 years (4mo- 12yo), as an au pair, as a nanny and also as a nature mentor at Peninsula Forest and Beach School (located in Moss Beach) with kids aged 2-6yo. In Brazil, I worked as a pre-school teacher (with toddlers) while I was studying to be a technician nurse. I also always took care of my siblings who are currently 10 and 11 years old and that brought me so much love for children. I have a lot of energy and I love engaging with the little ones! I feel full filled making kiddos giggling, so I am always being silly and bringing the best out of them :) I have a 40 hour applied behavior analysis training certification and I worked as a nanny with a kid on the spectrum for two years. I also worked as a nanny/family assistant and house manager for almost 2 years. I want to become a Newborn Care Specialist in the future so I am taking a course with Newborn Care Solutions and I am eager to start this journey since I love babies. Helping families is something I love, helping kids develop and reach their milestones healthy and happy is my motivation. I’m very dedicated, loving and passionate about life. You will find me going on hikes, weight lifting, traveling, singing and reading.

“Vitoria is awesome! She is attentive, safety conscious, and engaging. My two little ones (ages 2 and 5) love Vitoria!”

"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)."
