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.

Hello! My name is Vera. I live in Palo Alto and I have two grown, wonderful children. I immigrated from Ukraine 27 years ago and speak fluent Ukrainian and Russian. I am looking for a small part-time job and occasional babysitting gigs. I have years of babysitting experience ranging from all ages and I have several references available upon request. I am very friendly, dependable, creative, and punctual. I enjoy being active (doing anything outdoors), walking in the park, making arts and crafts, and spending time with my family. I am usually available at last notice as well, if needed. I made this account a couple of years ago and am just getting back to it after being away and working with different families. I have my own, reliable car and have no difficulties with transportation.

Hello, my name is Brittany, and I offer dependable childcare, senior care, pet sitting, and household support services, including home organization, errands, on-call childcare, and household management. I have over 20 years of experience as a babysitter and nanny caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged children, including experience with two sets of twins. My responsibilities have included school pick-ups and drop-offs, tutoring, crafts and activities, overnight childcare, and newborn night nanny care. In addition to childcare, I also provide household and personal assistant services, such as light cleaning, appointment management, organization, and running errands to help busy families maintain a well-managed home. I am an experienced pet sitter and truly enjoy caring for both cats and dogs. I have provided reliable pet care services for many families over the past 20 years. References for all services are available upon request.

With 19 years of experience in education, I bring a wealth of knowledge, leadership, and genuine passion to every family I work with. Throughout my career, I have taught 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grades and have served in school leadership roles. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of child development, learning, behavior, and how to create environments where children feel safe, supported, and successful. In addition to my professional career in education, I have provided babysitting and nanny services for more than 25 years. I have extensive experience caring for children from newborns through teenagers and am comfortable adapting to the unique needs of every age and stage. Excellent references are available upon request. Although my professional career has been in education and school leadership, I have continued providing childcare throughout the years because I truly enjoy working with children and supporting families. As I search for my next long-term leadership opportunity, I am excited to dedicate more of my time to caring for children—something that has always been one of the most rewarding parts of my life. Over the years, many of the children I've cared for have described me as "firm, fair, and fun"—and I truly believe all three can exist together. Parents have affectionately referred to me as the local "Super Nanny" and even "The Baby Whisperer," compliments that I cherish because they reflect the trust families place in me. My philosophy is simple: children thrive when they are loved, respected, and held to high expectations. I encourage kindness, good manners, personal responsibility, and respect for both others and their environment. I believe children should spend time outdoors, use their imagination, solve problems, and learn to work cooperatively with others—including their siblings. I create a warm, structured environment where children feel safe, capable, and confident while having plenty of fun along the way. Whether your family is looking for an occasional date-night sitter, a dependable nanny, homework support, or someone who can confidently care for multiple children, my goal is always the same: to provide exceptional care while giving parents complete peace of mind. I strive to become a trusted extension of your family and someone your children are excited to see each time I walk through the door.
