Booked by 7 families in San Carlos, 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!”

Booked by 1 family in San Carlos, CA

With over seven years of childcare experience in the United States, I am dedicated to providing a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for children. In addition to my experience as a nanny, I worked as a teacher in Brazil, where I taught Portuguese as a second language in a multicultural school for children of diplomats. I also have a background as a Brazilian lawyer, which strengthened my organization, responsibility, and problem-solving skills. I am passionate about supporting children’s development, creating structured routines, and fostering a positive and caring environment. I would love the opportunity to contribute to your family.

“Arrived on time, responsive and very professional. Kids like her too.”

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!

I'm certified as a newborn care specialist and pediatric sleep consultant. I've spent many years working on and off with children in various roles including assisting in after-school art and reading programs, instructing children's fitness classes, and most consistently, as a nanny focused on infant/toddler development. I love being around kids of all different ages and am inspired by their growing curiosity and excitement to learn about life!

"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)."
