Delfina 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

I have been a nanny for over 25 years now. I have experience in all stages of life from newborn- teenagers. I am cpr certified, sleep trained, and I have completed childcare classes. I can help you run errands, cooking, and cleaning your home. I can help you with appointments and organizing your home. I have worked for the HB school district, in my spare time I bake and enjoy the outdoors! I hope to hear from you, and can’t wait to meet your family.

“When Delfina walks into our house, she brings a sense of peace and confidence. Our 3 kids, 6,4, and 1 enjoy their time with her every time she visits. She is very engaging, respectful, and curious to learn more about our children. I have nothing but respect for the selfless attitude that she exhibits. Very prompt in her responses as well.”

Hello I have been caring for children for over 10 years. I have extensive experience with children of all ages, especially with infants and toddlers. I studied child development and early childhood education in college and am passionate about my work. I'm patient, calm, and love to have fun with kids. I like taking them outside, exploring in nature, playing with water, going for walks, playing pretend, reading books, games/puzzles, building with legos & doing arts/crafts.

keyon $20 per hour for 1 child

I have extensive experience working with children across a variety of settings. I began volunteering in childcare at my church as a teenager and have continued caring for children through babysitting for relatives and family friends over the years. More recently, I have worked in multiple school settings as a Teacher Assistant and Behavioral Aide, supporting children of all ages, including those with special needs. In these roles, I assisted with classroom activities, provided behavioral support, and helped create a safe and positive learning environment. Additionally, I have worked with the YMCA for several summers over the past three years, further developing my skills in child supervision, engagement, and program support. I am also CPR and AED certified, ensuring I am prepared to respond to emergency situations and prioritize children’s safety at all times.

"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."
