Booked by 5 families in Redwood City, CA

Nurturing young minds and supporting families is my passion. For the past three years, I've had the joy of caring for children aged newborn to 11 years. I hold a graduate degree and find fulfillment in fostering each child's unique growth and development. My approach is patient, calm, creative, and friendly. I enjoy playing outdoor sports and educational games. I'm comfortable caring for up to three children and enforcing household rules. To keep you informed, I provide written daily reports, chat during pickup, and send regular text updates. I am also certified in CPR and First Aid. I speak English, Portuguese, and Spanish. I'm excited to bring my experience and dedication to your family, creating a safe and enriching environment where your children can thrive.

Appreciate the flexibility on short notice. She was very helpful!

Hello, Parents! I’m a student locally at Foothill College, and a native to Mountain View, CA. I have two younger siblings which have contributed lots to my experience with children and also a few regular families who I babysit for from time to time from Stevenson elementary! I love hanging out with kids especially in the outdoors, outside play time, walks, bike rides, exploring parks, local museums, if it’s a kid friendly and fun place - I’m there! I am open to any age group, as I’ve had experience with it all. Time goes by when you’re having fun which is why I love picking up any babysitting jobs that come my way, because as a college student it’s a win win for me when it doesn’t even feel like work. I’m patient, nurturing, creative, responsible, bilingual(spanish), and fun to hangout with (can be fact checked by some previous kiddos I’ve cared for:) ). If you have any further questions feel free to ask!

Booked by 4 families in Redwood City, CA

Hello, my name is Marisa. I currently run my own petsitting & dog walking business while nannying part time. I have over 15 years of experience babysitting and nannying, and I enjoy working with children of all ages! I have both personal and professional experience working with children who are neurodivergent, including children on the ASD spectrum and with ADHD. I am patient, caring, and compassionate, and I work well with parents/caregivers to meet the specific needs of their family! I am also skilled in managing school pick-up and drop-off routines for multiple children. In my free time I enjoy hanging out with my friends and pets, going to concerts, going to the movie theater to watch oldies, and playing the claw machines. Please message me to double check availability, as my calendar may not always be up to date. Cancellation Policy: If bookings are cancelled by the parent/caregiver within 24 hours of the start time of the booking, I charge a fee of 50% of the total booking to help offset the loss of wages on short notice.

Marisa was punctual, responsive and very sweet towards my son! We will be asking for her help again!

"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

photo of quoted parent Eric

"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)."
