Hi everyone! My name is Valentina and I am a credentialed elementary school teacher looking to transition back into nannying. I have a bachelors in Psychology as well as a masters in Teaching, and was a 5th grade public school teacher from 2[removed]. Prior to that I was a nanny for many years, both part time and full time. I’ve been a full time nanny since 2023, but have a lot of flexibility in my schedule that I’m hoping to fill! I'm educated in child development from infancy through teenage years and have over 6 years of experience with kids and infants between newborn all the way to school age. I am comfortable with anything between tummy time, bottle feedings, nap training all the way to homework help/tutoring. In addition, I love pets, am fluent in both Spanish and English, have a cleared background live scan check with CPR certification, and have a clean driving record. I love being able to provide families with the security that their child is safe and in good hands as well as making sure to provide an engaging, warm, and safe environment for the kids. I don't take for granted the meaningful relationships that are built along the way. Hope to hear from you all soon!
“Valentina was wonderful! She was punctual, super friendly and engaging with our kids as soon as she arrived. We'd definitely recommend her. She handled our two boys (ages 5 1/2 and 4) like a pro :)”

Thank you for your time & I look forward to meeting with you & your family.
“Anna cared for our daughter full-time for nearly a year. Our daughter was 1.5 years old when she started. I can't say enough about what an amazing person she is to have care for our child. Anna is thoughtful, calm and very present in her approach to childcare. We always knew our daughter was not only safe and well-cared for when she was with Anna but she also was having fun and learning a lot. Anna developed such a loving relationship with our daughter. And, she really supported us as new parents-- in so many ways. I feel so grateful that she was in ours and our daughter's life and played such an important role in her growth and development. She's great at what she does, easy to communicate and work with, and brings a lot of experience working with children and being a parent herself. Your child(ren) will be in great hands if you hire Anna to care for them!”

Hello there! My name is Paloma and I have over 25 years of experience working with kids of all ages, from infants to teenagers. I truly love working with all ages in a variety of settings. I worked professionally as an elementary school garden teacher and outdoor educator for many years, and as a nanny for many years as well. I am also the eldest of six siblings, who now have children of their own, so childcare just comes naturally to me. What is most important for me about working with kids is providing a loving space for them to have creative fun and develop a sense of connection. I’m good at everything from imaginative play to homework time to dinner and bed time. I especially love to get outside with kids. Back on Urban Sitter after some years away, always nice to help out here!
“Paloma took great care of our 7 mo old daughter, and was prompt, responsive and thoughtful. We’d work with her again!”
