Hercy 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hello. My name is Hercy and I am an experienced nanny looking for my next family. I am also open to occasional babysitting jobs as well. I have worked with children of all ages, from infants to elementary school age. I have been a nanny for just one child and also done nanny shares with up to 3 babies at a time. I have experience caring for children with special needs and health issues, such as asthma. I truly love the children I take care of. I take the role of nanny very seriously. I am CPR trained and responsible. I can help to establish routines, potty train, and nap train. I prepare healthy food for babies and toddler, if needed, and also clean up any messes the children make. I love to play, sing, and take children on adventures. I have an open mind and am always willing to learn more. I hope I can hear from you soon.

“Hercy is a wonderful nanny and has been a blessing to my family. She took care of my son from age 1.5 to age 3. She also cared for my daughter during this time, who is currently 8 years old. Hercy has treated my children like her own and truly loves them. She offered nurturing and stimulating care, with lots of educational outings and opportunities to socialize. She created a routine for my son, cooked nutritious food for both of my children, helped keep the house tidy, and even fed and walked my dog when needed. I especially like that she gave my kids her full attention, with lots of games, songs, and books in both English and Spanish, and did not spend time on her phone when she was with them. Hercy also went out of her way to celebrate holidays, bring over new toys, and even planned birthday parties for my son. I didn't expect any of this, it is just the type of loving care that she provides. If you are looking for a caregiver who truly loves children, is very experienced, and has an impressive work ethic, I encourage you to contact Hercy.”

“Marcia took care of our little girl from 6 months old until 2 years old. She's a very warm nanny with 20 years of experience, and it truly shows! She is extremely reliable and always arrives on time, which gave us great peace of mind. Our little one loved spending time with her and playing games. As she grew, Marcia introduced new activities to keep her engaged, like painting, drawing, play-doh, singing, and even helping her cook cakes and cookies. Marcia also gave us the option to speak English, Spanish, or Portuguese to our baby, which was a big plus. She also prepared most of our little one’s meals which was incredibly helpful. I very much recommend Marcia as a nanny. You’d be lucky to have her!”

Kaira $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi parents! My name is Kaira, currently I am in school for nursing and I’ve been caring for children since I was 13. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with infants all the way up to teens, and I’ve loved every stage. From preparing meals and helping with homework to school drop-offs, playdates, and sports practices, I enjoy keeping kids safe, engaged, and supported in their routines. Along with childcare, I’ve also helped with household responsibilities like cooking, cleaning, running errands, and even pet care—I know how much those little extras can make a difference for busy families. Caring for my grandfather in his later years also taught me patience, compassion, and the importance of being dependable. I strive to bring a balance of fun, structure, and warmth to every family I work with. Whether it’s planning activities, helping with daily tasks, or making sure your kids feel safe and happy, I’m excited to be a trusted support for your household.

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."
