Hello- My name is Brithanie and I am a third-year college student and currently attending CSUEB’s Nursing Program! I am CPR & First Aid certified. I also speak Spanish! I enjoy babysitting :) I have had experience with babies and children ages 1-10! I worked with a senior my first semester of college, which I enjoyed so much and learned a lot from. Taking care of others is something that I want to continue to do and gain more experience in as it will become part of my career as a nurse. Open to sitting any pets.

Deb has been a huge help to our family. We don't know how we would have survived the busy newborn phase without her. We met Deb when she was helping another child at the same co-op preschool and I saw how attentive she was with him and all the other children in the class. During this intense time with us, she potty trained our child and has shown great care with his food allergies. She's helped manage his anxiety and fostered coping mechanisms as he's adapted to so much change. We are completely comfortable with her taking our children out each day for very engaging and thoughtful activities (library story times, park, school, swim class, the allergy clinic, etc) while looking out for their safety and security. Our kids absolutely love her and look forward to playing together each day.

We were looking for a caretaker for taking care of our 10 month old daughter for a month, before she started day care. Fortunately for us and our daughter, we ended up meeting Anna through urbansitter. Anna is extremely loving, sincere, hardworking and responsible. She quickly ramped up to our daughter's schedule, in a matter of 1-2 days. She was always on time, flexible when we needed her for a couple of extra hours during the end of the day. Within a matter of 1 week, she gained our complete trust. Her responsibilities included watching over our daughter, keeping her engaged, feeding her milk and solids, putting her for her day naps, laundry. Aside from these she would also proactively help us with some minor chores. She also keeps her environment very clean and organized. We also have a 2 year old dog who is extremely playful and loving. Anna was super friendly with our dog too. Overall, I would highly recommend her for families out there. The only reason we couldn't continue with her was because our daughter started day care.

"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)."
