Hi! My name is Brianna. I’m a Physician Associate working in the NICU and newborn care, with extensive experience caring for infants and children. I am NRP, CPR, and ACLS certified for infants and children, and I have extensive experience in lactation. Beyond my medical background, I have years of experience nannying for children from newborns to teenagers (0–16 years old). I have a special passion for supporting children with autism, helping them through stressful situations, stimming, and self-harm episodes, while providing relief and peace of mind for families. I would love to help care for your child and can also assist with light housework when I’m not at my full-time job!

Michele Seattle
$30 per hour for 1 child

I am a mother of 4 grown children ages 18,22,24 and 27. My oldest daughter has special needs so I am completely comfortable with children of all ages and abilities. I worked at Children’s Hospital as a CNA on the surgical unit with very fragile kids. I also worked as an ED tech at Overlake Hospital for a year. I have 2 dogs and own a pet treat company with my husband. I love living in Maple Leaf, spending time with my kids, hiking and baking. Over the years I have worked as a cake decorator and at a well known French bakery in Oakland, CA. I know how to multitask taking care of children and getting household chores done. I love children of all ages. I think one of my best qualities is, I can be away from my phone for a work day. I encourage play rather than screen time. I love knitting and doing crafts and art projects . I’m energetic and empathetic

Yu Sammamish
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hello, families! Caring for children has been both my calling and my joy. Over the past four years I've supported little ones from newborns to age 6, with a special knack for energetic toddlers. For two and a half of those years I worked in a Montessori school, guiding children with child-led learning and developmental milestones. I hold a bachelor's degree that included Early Childhood Development coursework, l. Parents describe me as patient, upbeat, and quick to adapt to each household's routines and communication style. I love sparking curiosity through outdoor play, sports, and hands-on educational games. I'm happy to manage school pick-ups, carpools, and swim supervision, and I am fully comfortable focusing on a single child's needs. As a fluent English- and Chinese-speaker, I enjoy introducing simple words and songs from both languages. Watching children gain confidence as they explore their world is immensely rewarding, and I would be honored to support your family's journey.

"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
