Hi families! My name is Katerine and I’m 29 years old. I am a friendly, warm and patient person who enjoys spending free time outdoors with my pet. I love looking after children and supporting their learning journey by playing with them and engaging in various indoor and outdoor activities that enrich their knowledge and motor skills; and I also love learning from them; they really are great teachers. I am currently working full time with 2 kids (4yo and 3yo). I’ve been working with them since January 2024, it’s been a very cute and fun journey. I still work occasionally with families that I have contacted by this app. I was an au pair for 2 years and I have experience with children for a little over 7 years. My experience ranges from babies (3 months) to children aged 10-15 years old. If you have any questions, please send me a message and we can get to know each other better :)

My names is Stephanie, and I love working with children because seeing them learn to explore, grow and have fun brings me so much joy. I’m caring, patient and I love creating a space where kids of all ages can feel safe and be themselves. I’m very responsible and compassionate and fully committed on supporting families in their different needs. I’ve been nannying for about 9 years now, and it’s more than just watching kids, I truly enjoy being around them, engaging with them, seeing how their brains work and grow. Children bring so much happiness and I love to help families experience that with out the stress of having to worry about child care. I’m new to this app, but have a lot of experience behind me. The children I have been nannying for are getting older, entering school, and the family doesn’t require me full time any more, so I’ve decided to look into longterm and short term care for others. I’d love to be considered when looking for help! Please reach out if you have any further questions!

Hello families, My name is Gabriela, I'm 29 years old, and I've been working as childcare provider for over 7 years, caring for children of all ages, from newborns to school-age kids. I spent the past year and a half with a family in the Marina, caring for their 4-year-old and 6-month-old boys, and I'm now looking for another long-term position where I can continue doing what I love. I’m happy to help with everything from daily routines to school pick-ups/drop-offs, planning activities and outings, and light household tasks such as kids laundry or cleaning bottles/meal prep. My background is in biomedical sciences and psychology, and I bring that same curiosity to how I care for kids. I lead with patience and encouragement, creating a safe, loving environment every day. If you'd like to connect, feel free to reach out!

“Gabriela was lovely and prompt. My boys had a great time with her!”

Hello families, I'm excited to introduce myself as a caring and experienced caregiver and educator originally hailing from Brazil. Fluent in both Portuguese and English, my background as an English teacher in Brazil for over 8 years allowed me to not only refine my language skills but also develop effective communication with children and their parents. I am currently looking for a part time position to start soon. If you believe I could be a great fit for your family, please don't hesitate to reach out. I'd be delighted to answer any questions you may have and discuss how I can provide the best care for your children.

"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."
