Hello! My name is Ivadny, I’m 22, and I’m a responsible & caring caregiver with 3 years of babysitting experience and experience working with over 20+ families and children of various ages. I’m currently a Health Sciences student, which has strengthened my focus on safety, organization, and communication. I enjoy creating a fun, calm, and structured environment where children feel comfortable and supported. I’m happy to help with light housekeeping, meals, bedtime routines, homework, and pets. I speak English and Spanish.
I’m a super auntie who has loved caring for kids since I was a teenager! I raised my two nieces from infancy and I absolutely adore every moment with children. I work comfortably with infants all the way up to teens. For years I ran an after-school playground program with 75–100 kids, where I worked with all kinds of personalities and backgrounds. I’m patient, attentive, and believe love and kindness come first. I love helping children work through their feelings and problems in a gentle way — kids have such amazing perspectives and they teach us so much! I’m also happy to lend a hand with light housework, elderly care, or pets. Whether it’s playing, doing homework, or just being a warm, reliable presence, I bring fun and care to every family. I’d love to meet yours! 💕

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
