Greetings! Since the age of thirteen I knew I wanted to work with children. I have been and currently am a camp counselor, lead daycare teacher, babysitter, church choir director, and Sunday School teacher. I love building relationships with young minds and supporting them as they learn to navigate the world around them. I love music, nature, traveling, and interior designing -all of which I incorporate into my babysitting routine! I am outgoing, energetic, creative, and passionate about everything I do! My fellow peers often comment on my ability to “Light up a room” given my gifts to connect with people, maintain a positive spirit, and have a contagious joy. I look forward to connecting with you! Sincerely, Laila

Hello! I recently completed medical school and looking for a part-time job or one-time jobs while prepping for my board exams. My ultimate goal is to go into family medicine. I come from a big traditional Mexican-American family; I am the youngest of five daughters and am extremely close to my family. I love to hike, practice yoga, read, and spend time with my loved ones. I have over 15 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from just a couple months old to teenagers. I absolutely adore kids and hope to be there to help you care for your child! I also have over 10 years of experience dog walking and pet sitting. I absolutely love animals and would love to care for your pet as I would my own!

Hello I'm Maria! I am a dedicated and detail-oriented nanny with over 9 years of experience, starting in 2016. My passion for providing a safe, fun, and educational environment for children has been a key driver in my work. I pride myself on creating enriching experiences that promote learning while ensuring that kids are having fun. I am highly organized, follow schedules closely, and work to provide parents with peace of mind, knowing their children are in good hands. As a COVID-19-conscious professional, I have all my vaccines up to date and take all necessary precautions to ensure the safety and well-being of the children in my care. I find working with kids fulfilling because there are so many things to learn and explore with them every day. I love being able to inspire their curiosity and excitement in small and big ways throughout their day. My experience is very diverse as I have worked with newborns, infants, toddlers and older aged kids, as well with multiples(twins) and multiple siblings. I'm also available on weekday evenings should you ever need help then. I am comfortable working around pets as well. I am bilingual in Spanish as well. In addition to child care, I'm able to help with preparing meals, light housekeeping, and laundry. I hope to hear from you soon and look forward to getting to know you and your family more. Thank you!

“Kids had a fantastic time! 10/10!”

Hi my name is Isa and I’m a 19yr. Majoring in business administration. And I have my CPR/AED certification. I’m also bilingual, I can speak both English and Spanish. I've been caring for children of all ages for a few years now. I've looked after toddlers and school-aged children, helping with meals, playtime, crafts, and bedtime routines. I enjoy creating a fun and safe environment, whether we're doing crafts, playing outside, or reading together. I can also help with light household tasks to keep things running smoothly. In addition to child care I own two cats Jelly and Magic, so I’m also comfortable with pets and will take good care of your pets; giving them the attention and care they need.

“Isa was so sweet with our two year old, very attentive ”

"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."
