Fernanda $20 per hour for 1 child

My name is Fernanda, and I have two years of experience caring for children, providing them with a safe, loving, and patient environment. I consider myself a responsible, attentive, and committed person who focuses on children’s well-being and development, supporting their daily routines, playtime, and healthy habits. I am also willing to care for pets, as I truly love animals and have personal experience—I currently have a cat, which has taught me the importance of proper care, attention, and affection. I adapt easily to each family’s needs and always strive to create a sense of trust and peace of mind.

Sara $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Sara. I have over two years of full-time, live-in childcare experience through the Au Pair program, caring for children from infancy through school age. My experience includes working in a household with four children, where I managed daily routines, schedules, and individual needs simultaneously. I have cared for infants as young as one month old, as well as toddlers and older children, which has given me a strong understanding of different developmental stages and the ability to adapt my approach to each child. Throughout my experience, I’ve developed strong skills in maintaining structured routines, supporting emotional regulation, and creating a safe, stable, and engaging environment. I am comfortable managing multiple children, balancing their needs, and staying calm and organized in dynamic situations. I value clear and open communication with parents and believe in working as a team to support each child’s growth and well-being. As a Brazilian, I bring warmth, creativity, and a positive energy into my care — whether through play, conversation, or simply being fully present in the child’s daily life.

Farhana $19 per hour for 1 child

I come from a large joint-family household where caring for children and helping support a busy home was always a natural part of daily life. As a mother of two myself, I understand how important it is for parents to have someone dependable, patient, and genuinely caring looking after their children. I also worked at a daycare, where I cared for children ranging from infants to elementary school age, giving me experience with many different personalities, routines, and developmental stages. I am bilingual, nurturing, organized, and very comfortable around kids of all ages. Because I’ve spent so much of my life around children, I’m able to keep them entertained, engaged, and comfortable while still creating a safe and structured environment. I enjoy building strong connections with families and making children feel supported, cared for, and happy while they are in my care.

"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."
