Sevda $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Sevda. I'm a reliable and caring nanny with 3 years of childcare experience (toddlers included). I'm CPR/First Aid certified, a non-smoker, and I have a reliable car. I'm also a college student studying Psychology and Sociology and I'm working toward transferring to a university. I used to be a live-in au pair, so I'm very comfortable with routines, safety, and keeping kids engaged. I love doing simple activities like reading, crafts, music, and outdoor walks. I can also help with child meals, tidying up, and light housekeeping. Thank you!

Rosa $45 per hour for 1 child

My name is Rosa, and I am 35 years old with four wonderful children aged 15, 13, 4, and 1. My journey in childcare began with my first volunteer position at Santa Teresa High School daycare when I was just 15. I then worked there from ages 16 to 18. After graduating from high school, I had the privilege of working with a family of five for 11 years. Eventually, I decided to step back from my career to focus on my three daughters. When my youngest arrived, I embraced the role of a stay-at-home mom. Now that my children are older and more independent, I am eager to explore part-time job opportunities. Depending on the situation, I may also consider full-time work if I find a family that aligns well with my values and expectations. For the moment, I am taking a thoughtful approach to finding the right fit. 😊 Thank you for considering my background. I look forward to the possibility of discussing how I can contribute to your family. Warm regards, Rosa

"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."
