Laira 1 review
$28 per hour for 1 child

Nursing background | CPR & First Aid certified | 5+ years experience Hi! My name is Laira, and I am a caring, reliable, and patient caregiver with 5 years of experience working with children in the U. S. and Brazil. I have a nursing background and CPR/First Aid training, so safety is always my top priority. I have experience with infants, toddlers, and school-aged children, and I enjoy creating fun and educational activities such as outdoor play, crafts, reading, and learning games. I am organized, calm, and responsible, and I always respect household rules and family routines. Communication is very important to me, and I like to keep parents updated about their child's day. I am bilingual (English and Portuguese), comfortable with pets, and can help with light cleaning, meal prep, and errands. I am looking for a kind family and a long-term opportunity.

“I highly recommend Laira as a babysitter. She worked for me and was absolutely wonderful in every way. Laira is incredibly reliable, always punctual, and someone I could fully trust with my child. She has a natural ability with children, kind, patient, and attentive. My child felt comfortable and happy around her, which gave me great peace of mind. Laira is also very responsible and professional; she follows instructions carefully while also using her own good judgment when needed. Beyond basic care, she truly engages with children in a positive and nurturing way, creating a safe and loving environment. I would confidently recommend her to any family looking for a caring and dependable babysitter.”

Brisa $23 per hour for 1 child

Hello- my name is Brisa. I am 19 ! I currently finished my Medical Assistant program ! I have experience with baby sitting my nephews and my niece. My nephews are 7 years old and a 3 year old. My niece is 7 years old. I love taking care of them. Cooking for them and cleaning up. It’s the best thing I could ask for. I love taking care of them I want to experience this with other kids ! I enjoy coloring and reading books with kids. Playing with toys. Just enjoying the moment ! I have experience cleaning houses. When I was younger my mom took me to clean houses with her. I currently help her clean houses here and there. I help her with cleaning the bathroom, fold laundry, sometimes reorganizing bedrooms. I would prefer cleaning with the supplies one already has just because everyone has a different preference. Translated to Spanish Hola, me llamo Brisa. Tengo 19 años Actualmente estoy estudiando para ser asistente médica. Tengo experiencia cuidando a mis sobrinos y a mi sobrina. Mis sobrinos tienen 7 y 3 años, y mi sobrina tiene 7 años. Me encanta cuidarlos, cocinar para ellos y limpiar. Es lo mejor que me puede pasar. Disfruto mucho cuidándolos y me gustaría tener esta experiencia con otros niños. Tengo un gato que se llama Aphelfa. Me gusta colorear y leer libros con los niños, jugar con juguetes y simplemente disfrutar del momento. Tengo experiencia limpiando casas. Cuando era más joven, mi mamá me llevaba a limpiar casas con ella. Actualmente la ayudo de vez en cuando. La ayudo a limpiar el baño, a doblar la ropa y a veces a reorganizar las habitaciones. Prefiero usar los productos de limpieza que ya se tengan en casa, ya que cada persona tiene sus preferencias.

"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."
