Experienced with infants, toddlers, elementary and middle. I’ve been on Urban since April 2015 so please feel free to browse my many 5 star reviews. Background: -While an undergraduate at Simmons College, I studied early childhood education and worked in an urban preschool for two years with Jumpstart, an AmeriCorps project. -CPR/ AED trained and certified by the Red Cross -Oakland CORE certified (Earthquake & Disaster Preparation) -My reviews are nearly all 5 stars. -I live in Cupertino (formerly from Boston) and am obsessed with hot yoga and once upon a time Sailor Moon. I’d be happy to be a healthy influence on your family and assist with household coordination. MY STYLE - Waldorf/ Montessori influences - I encourage creative & imaginative play along with self organizing and cooperation for older children. - For the pre-school and under crowd, I participate in parallel play and getting on the child’s level. - I love taking children outside to play or for a stroller walk. We will read books together (maybe even make one together) and on the whole I’ll be that new age sitter who isn’t too fond of screen time and would rather we go to the playground or explore fractal patterns in pinecones. 😋🌲 Thank you! -Jane

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.

Brittany was wonderful with our family and I would highly recommend her. She was very patient and kind with our 4-year-old, giving him space and time to warm up while gently engaging him with play. She kept clear communication throughout, kindly accepted our last-minute request, and even helped with some light home organizing, which was a huge plus!

Hello family, My name is "Jane" or you can call me "Tanya" and I'm from Thailand. I'm 29 years old. Dependable, honest, caring, trustworthy, organized, respectful, positive are all words that I would use to describe myself. Also I'm a non smoker or dont drink. I have 5 years+ experiences at daycare in Thailand and I just finished 1 year in Au pair in America program. Now, I work as a nanny in Bay area almost 2 years. I have been working with a lot of children including infants - toddler. I also have experiences with baby who has food allergies, reflux and helmet therapy. Also, I know how to do CPR, fully vaccinated and I have my own car with clean record. I work well with children and always treat them like they are my own. I enjoy being part of a child's growth. My goal as a Nanny is to have the children's best interest in mind, make sure the children are safe, clean and having fun while also learning. I'm a nanny who full of energy, creative and can organise activities, arts and crafts and educational activities etc. but I would love to follow your instruction as well. I also can do a lot of duties and take care of all things related to the baby, including diaper change, food prep, play time, naps, baby clothes laundry and take the baby out on walks etc. Not only am I patient, caring and nurturing, I am also extremely organized and very detailed when it comes to work. I'm pet friendly and have the flexibility to work and can do extra hour if you need help. I have a lot of family who can be my references, I can also provide it to you upon request. Please feel free to talk to me. I'd love to meet your family and get to know your baby. Thank you for your time. I look forward to talking to you! :) Sincerely yours, Jane

Jane has been coming 3 times a week for a couple of weeks now to take care of our daughter and also help out in a few home chores. She is really very good at taking care of my daughter. In fact my daughter listens to her and enjoys playing with her. She is very clean and always cleans up areas once they are done playing and eating etc. she is always on time which I really appreciate. It has been great to work with her and I would highly recommend her.

"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."

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)."

Eric D., dad of two
