Hi! My name is Elena, and I’m a very passionate and caring person who truly loves working with children. I’ve been caring for and working with kids for about 10 years, and it’s something I genuinely enjoy every day. I’m currently studying nursing, where I continue to grow my skills in care and responsibility. In my previous roles, I’ve helped families by taking kids to and from school, tutoring, going to the pool, watching movies together, and helping with fun, safe activities that support learning and creativity. I’m also very comfortable around pets — no problem at all with furry friends! Additionally, I’m fluent in both English and Spanish, which allows me to connect easily with children and families from diverse backgrounds. Overall, I’m patient, dependable, and committed to providing a positive, nurturing environment for every child I care for.

Hi! My name is Mila. I'm a proud mom of two kids— my oldest just graduated, and my youngest is in college. I’ve spent most of my life taking care of kids. First my own, and also my nieces and nephews. Now that my kids are growing up I’m excited to help other families and get back to doing something I truly enjoy, taking care of little ones. I know how busy life gets as a parent, so I’m happy to help however I can. From childcare to housekeeping, errands, school drop-offs and pickups, and cooking. I love being in the kitchen and making healthy, home-cooked meals! I speak both Spanish and English. I currently work in food and retail, but I’m looking to make a move into full-time babysitting work. I’m reliable, caring, and bring years of real-life experience. Thank you!

“I’ve worked part time with Mila and she has an amazing work ethic!! She’s always early, thinks ahead, and is adaptable in shift. You can see how much she cares about kids when we help a nearby daycamp. She talks to kids with so much care and respect (which is why we always send her out as our speaker lol). She’d be an awesome babysitter!”

"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."
