As a professional nanny, I have been working 15yrs+ caring for newborns, toddlers and older children. Presently, I am working part time for families on Urbansitter while taking some time to care for my elderly mother and grandson. In addition to my responsibilities with the care of the child/children, I can also help with light household chores, cooking/meal preps, drop off/pick ups, groceries, errands and homework. I have a BS degree from UCBerkeley in social welfare, a child development certification throughout the Girl Scouts of America, a CPR certification, a good driving record and my own transportation. I am up to date with my flu, have received my Covid (fully vaxxed), TDAP and MMR booster. I speak English, French, Vietnamese and a little Spanish. I am available for overnight care and willing to travel. I have my passport and Global Entry card. Please see my reviews on the Urbansitter s platform.

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.”

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!”

(Quick note: I am currently working with a 2 families Tues-Fri, so I’m unavailable those days. I am mostly going to be available for date nights over the weekend 🤍). Hi Bay Area families,🌉 I’m Zu, I’m a mom, a mother’s helper, and someone who genuinely loves taking care of kids and helping families.🤍 I’ve been caring for children for over 15 years and have had the opportunity to help more than 200 families through UrbanSitter, caring for everyone from newborns to teenagers. I was a Sunday school teacher for 8 years as well. I’m the kind of person who likes to jump in and help wherever I’m needed. Need someone to pick up the kids, run to the grocery store, help with potty training, change diapers, clean bottles, do laundry, fold and put clothes away, tidy up, or even make dinner? I’m happy to help. Being a parents is already hard, while juggling with work, life and family, let me help you! And if your kids just want someone to hang out and play with them, I’m there for that too! I love reading, playing, getting outside, doing activities, and just being present with kids. I’m not on my phone while I’m caring for them, and I’m happy to follow your family’s preferences when it comes to screen time and routines. I’m also a mom to a toddler, (my boy Santi), so I understand how much an extra set of reliable hands can mean! I have a clean driving record, I love organizing and helping manage a home, and most importantly, I really love kids. Oh, and I’m CPR certified! Whether you need a mother’s helper, house manager, part-time help, date-night care, or simply someone to come in and make your day a little easier, that’s exactly what I’m here for. You’ll find someone reliable, friendly, caring, and ready to help wherever you need me. ❤️ I live in San Carlos, and willing to drive up to 15 miles to help you.🤍

“Zu has been amazing with my 6 month old. She connected with him instantly, and he loves playing with her, even during tummy time, which is not his favorite. She is flexible with her availability and happily helped with other chores like washing bottles and tidying the play area. We love her positive energy in the house and would love to have her back.”

"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)."
