I was a bilingual / ESL teacher for 10 years and have plenty of experience working with children from ages 5 and older. I love the spontaneity and unpredictability of working with kids. I have a dog of my own and plenty of experience with animals, as I also have been a volunteer at PAWS no kill animal shelter.
“Paul noted that he recently joined Urbansitter and our booking was his first sitting job via Urbansitter. He showed up on time, was friendly and jumped right into playing/watching our son Miles who really enjoyed spending the time with Paul. Paul is attentive, punctual, fun, flexible and friendly, definitely would hire again!! :)”

Hi! I’m Breanna. I currently work in childcare and have over 3 years of experience caring for children from infancy through school age. I genuinely enjoy helping children learn, play, and feel safe while their parents are away. I’m patient, reliable, and comfortable with everything from meals and bedtime routines to crafts, outdoor play, and keeping kids engaged throughout the day. My goal is always to create a fun, caring, and dependable environment where children feel happy and parents have peace of mind.
