Introduction for a Job Offer: Childcare My name is Natalia, I am 28 years old, a physiotherapist by profession, and I am from Colombia. I have four years of experience working in the pediatric ICU, which has allowed me to develop strong skills in caring for children, even in situations that require special sensitivity and professionalism. Additionally, as a physiotherapist, I understand the importance of exercise and physical activity for both children and older adults, enabling me to provide comprehensive care that promotes physical and emotional well-being. I am also qualified to offer support for specific care that older adults may require. Lastly, I have a valid driver’s license, which allows me to adapt to the job’s mobility needs. My commitment is to provide a safe, positive, and enriching environment for those under my care.

“Was wonderful with our 2 under 2. Our son warmed up to her quickly and was even sad when she had to leave. She even left a premade bottle for right after to left.”

Haille $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi im Haille, I’m looking for a family to be a full time nanny for. I grew up in a big family, and being the oldest I had a lot responsibilities. I have a reliable safe car, I can run errands, do house cleaning, cook/meal prep, I’m a full time cook at a restaurant right now so cooking is no issue. Dropping off and picking up from activities is no big deal. I’ve been a freelancer babysitter for about 10 years now. I’ve babysat 6months-12 years. I’m caring, trustworthy, patient, reliable. And I’m here to take stress out of any family’s life by being a helping hand.

"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."
