Booked by 12 families in Whittier, CA

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.

Hello, My name is Genevieve and I am a graduate from UCSB. I have been working as a babysitter now for over 9 years and have several families for whom I regularly provide care. I have set bedtime routines, helped with meal prep, and assisted with homework in my previous roles. I've worked with infants to 12-year-olds, including gifted and neurodiverse children. I pride myself on creating engaging and educational lessons. I also prioritize spending plenty of time outdoors. With my previous coursework in child development and psychology, I am confident in my ability to be an asset to your family. I'm excited to hear from you and discuss your family dynamics and expectations further! Warmest Regards, Genevieve

We just came home from dinner, and all four kids are happy and healthy - thanks Genevieve!

"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
