Nathalia 2 reviews
$26 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Nathalia! I've been caring for kids since I was young — babysitting toddlers through school-age children for family and family friends for as long as I can remember. I also spent about a year and a half as a preschool aide working with children ages 2–4, supporting early learning in a structured classroom setting. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Psychology, which gives me a helpful lens for understanding how kids think, communicate, and grow. Beyond childcare, I'm also comfortable with well-trained pets and happy to help with furry family members too! What I love most about caregiving is building genuine connections — kids have such curious, energetic minds, and I find so much joy in being a trusted, nurturing presence for them.

“We’ve used Nathalia several times, for years, and for both my kids and she’s exceptional! Nathalia is reliable, professional, and truly loved by my kids. She’s patient, creative, and consistently follows our dietary needs and preferred activities with care. Always on time, always kind, always dependable. A genuinely outstanding person. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter that you can feel comfortable leaving your kids with, knowing they will be perfectly cared for.”

Hi my Names Susana but you can call me Susie ☺️. Im 27 years old & have several years of experience caring for children 2yrs+ & as well as supporting seniors 70 yr+. Growing up I helped care for many cousins, nieces and nephews, which naturally shaped who I am today 💕 I’m currently a part time skin therapist & am actively deepening my craft+ skills!

That same care and attentiveness from both my home life and professional experience is reflected in how I show up for the families I work with.

Janelle $27 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Janelle. I’m outgoing, caring, and truly love working with children. During the school year, I work with children with special needs, which has taught me patience, compassion, and the importance of creating a safe and supportive environment where every child can thrive. I enjoy fitness, staying active, reading, being outdoors, and bringing that same energy into childcare through crafts, outdoor play, games, reading, and fun learning activities. I’m dependable, organized, and happy to help with homework, meal and snack preparation, and keeping children’s spaces tidy. My goal is to make every child feel safe, encouraged, and cared for while giving parents peace of mind knowing their little ones are in good hands. I would love the opportunity to become a trusted part of your family’s daily routine!

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"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."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
