Hi! My name is Maria, I’m 19 years old, and I’ve been working with children since I was 15.

Laura Sofia $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello, dear future families, My name is Sofia, I’m 22 years old, and I bring over three years of hands-on experience caring for babies and children of various ages. My approach to childcare is built on love, joy, patience, and unwavering support, values that guide me in creating a nurturing and positive environment for every child I care for. What I love most about this work is being part of a child’s journey as they grow, learn, and begin to understand and express their emotions. Every day is different, some filled with joy, others with challenges, and I’m here to support them through it all with calmness, empathy, and good communication. I’m also an excellent cook, a confident driver, and a strong swimmer. I’m very active and creative, and I love organizing engaging activities, from story time sessions to fun adventures at the park. My goal is to make each day enriching, safe, and filled with joy. I look forward to the opportunity to support your family and help your child thrive! Warmly, Sofía

"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."
