Ingrid $25 per hour for 1 child

With over 5 years of experience, I specialize in caring for newborns, infants, and toddlers. My passion is fostering physical and cognitive development in a safe, happy environment. I consider myself creative, organized, and deeply empathetic. For the last 3 years, I have worked with the same U.S. family, managing the care of three children at different developmental stages. This experience has allowed me to master multitasking, sibling dynamics, and long-term developmental support. I love organizing purposeful play activities, early stimulation, and outdoor exploration. I am also an expert in establishing well-being routines, nutrition transitions, and potty training. For me, being a nanny is a commitment to lead with heart and help children grow into confident individuals. Excellent U.S. references are available. Available starting mid September, early October 2026!

Karla $18 per hour for 1 child

As a nurturing nanny with comprehensive daycare expertise and the joyful experience of being a mother to my own child, I bring a wealth of care and understanding to every child I have the pleasure of nurturing. With a heart full of warmth and a dedication to fostering growth, I create a safe and stimulating environment where children can thrive. My journey as a nanny and daycare provider has equipped me with a deep understanding of child development and the dynamics of early childhood education. From fostering creativity through imaginative play to encouraging social interaction and emotional intelligence, I strive to create a holistic environment that nurtures every aspect of a child's development. In addition to English, I am fluent in Spanish and passionate about sharing the richness of the language and culture with young learners. Through interactive activities, songs, and storytelling, I provide a fun and immersive learning experience that ignites curiosity and lays the foundation for bilingual proficiency.

Perfect! Based on that, here’s a draft introduction for your UrbanSitter profile: ⸻ Hello! I’m [AliciA], originally from Kingston, Jamaica, but living in sliver springs Aspenhill area now and I bring a warm Caribbean spirit to everything I do. I’m a certified CNA with extensive experience working with special needs children as well as typically developing kids.

"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."
