Hi there! I’m Karina, I went to CSUN to become an elementary teacher. Now I’m in the health care field. I am in school to become a RN. I’ve been babysitting for 6 years now, infant to teens. I have both nanny and babysitting experiences. I’m very optimistic and love being able to bring adventure & fun! I have lots of paid experience and professional experience through my internships for schooling. I love being able to do arts and crafts, or going on walks or park visits. I have my own transportation, licensed, vaccinated, CPR certified infant - adult; and very responsible and reliable. Since my availability is during the evening, I am very flexible and can stay later than 12pm.

Karina was great! On time and lovely to chat with. The kids immediately loved her and wanted to show her everything! Both kids said they had the best night the next morning.Would definitely love to have her back. Thank you Karina!!

Hi families! I’m Luise.. a caring, experienced nanny and Occupational Therapist from Germany. With over 10 years of childcare experience, I’ve worked with children of all ages, including newborn twins and teens. I’ve been an au pair for 3 years, a nanny for 4 years, and love supporting families in their daily routines. As an OT, I bring extra skills in child development, sensory play, tutoring, and adapting to each child’s unique needs. I’m also happy to help with light housekeeping, cooking, errands, and even pet care! I’m full-time available starting in August and excited to connect with a warm family. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Luise did housekeeping chores very efficiently and with a great attitude, and went above and beyond. I enjoyed meeting her and will look forward to engaging her again in the near future.

Hi there! My name is Bruna, I’m from Brazil 🇧🇷, I’m 30 years old and I have a degree in Psychology. I speak native Portuguese and fluent Spanish and English. I’m a former aupair and I have worked with the same host family for 2 years in San Francisco while occasionally babysitting for other families during my free time. I am currently working full time during weekdays taking care of 2 years old twins but available to occasional babysitting on the weekends or weekdays after 6pm. Hope to hear from you, Bruna

Bruna was warm and asked questions throughout. It was a chaotic day and she was able to go with the flow. My daughter had a ball playing with her and we’d 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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

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
