Milagros 2 reviews
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Milagros. I'm a bilingual Spanish-English nanny with 4 years of childcare experience, including 2 years as an Au Pair in the U. S. and 2 years of childcare experience in Peru. During my first year in the U. S., I provided full-time care for a baby from 4 months old. In my second year, I worked alongside my sister caring for multiple children, including newborn twins, a 7-month-old baby, three toddlers, and a preschooler. I currently work part-time with two wonderful families. I care for a sweet 7month old baby and a lovely 3 years old girl with another family. I'm very grateful for the opportunity to work with both families, and they have kindly provided reviews for my profile. I'm loving, patient, responsible, organized, and respectful. I enjoy reading, singing, dancing, arts and crafts, playing, exploring outdoors, and teaching Spanish. I'm currently looking for new opportunities where I can continue providing loving, reliable, and engaging care for children.

“Milagros is wonderful with our child. She is caring, patient, responsible, communicative, and punctual, and genuinely enjoys spending time with her. She helps with feeding, bathing, getting dressed, playing, and trips to the park, always making sure she is comfortable and safe. She is also a great help around the home, including cleaning the kitchen, taking out the trash, doing laundry, washing lunchboxes and dishes, and keeping the house organized. She is dependable and willing to help wherever needed. We truly appreciate having Milagros as part of our family and would highly recommend her to any family looking for a caring nanny and reliable household helper.”

Hello! My name is Taliyah, I’m 24 years old, and currently a senior in college. I’ve been working with children for as long as I can remember, and I have about 8 years of professional experience. ☺️ For the past few years, I’ve worked with children in elementary and middle school, and I also have experience with younger children from caring for my 5 year old sister since she was born. I love playing board games, doing fun crafts, and (trying to) play sports with kids! In my free time, I enjoy spending time with family, exploring the outdoors, and playing with my bunny and puppy. 🐰🌷

Rebecca $28 per hour for 1 child

I earned my degree in Communications, but some of my most meaningful experiences have come from working directly with families. I have several years of experience caring for children of various ages, from infants to school-aged kids, and I enjoy helping with everything from daily routines and homework support to planning fun, creative activities. I’ve also cared for pets and seniors, so I’m comfortable balancing different responsibilities in the home. What I love most about caregiving is the opportunity to build trust and provide a safe, nurturing environment where children can feel supported and encouraged. I bring patience, dependability, and a positive attitude to every role, and I find it rewarding to know that I can make parents’ lives easier while giving children a fun and caring experience. On a personal note, I enjoy spending time outdoors, staying active, and trying out new recipes in the kitchen. Families I’ve worked with would describe me as warm, dependable, and someone who truly enjoys being part of their children’s growth and happiness.

Booked by 1 family in Santa Clara, CA

I have 8 years of experience caring for children, with a strong background in infant and toddler care. I began my childcare experience caring for babies and later spent five years working in a preschool, primarily with 2-year-old children. This experience helped me develop a strong understanding of early childhood development, age-appropriate activities, daily routines, and creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment. As a nanny, I am patient, loving, responsible, and dependable. I enjoy creating meaningful activities, encouraging children’s independence, and making their daily routines fun and positive. My goal is always to provide children with a safe, caring environment where they feel comfortable, supported, and excited to learn and grow.

"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."
