Hi, my name is Michaela. I have over 10 years of childcare experience, including babysitting, professional nannying, AuPair support, and leadership roles in early childhood education. I worked as a Lead Teacher and Assistant Director at a bilingual international daycare, creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for children to learn and grow. I am warm, responsible, organized, and experienced working with children and families. I truly enjoy building strong connections with families and creating a supportive, positive environment where children feel safe, happy, and cared for. I am also currently continuing my education to become a Newborn Care Specialist and Postpartum Doula, which reflects my passion for supporting both children and families at every stage.
Im Diana from Colombia, I came to the United States one year and 9 months ago, im a lawyer in there, and starting over in the USA, im the baby sitter for a baby of 10 months old and I have him since he was 5 months. I came from a traditional Colombian family, my mom used to work so my grandparents take care of me, I have a 20 years old sister and I take care of her when she was a baby.
I am a certified nursing assistant as well as a yoga teacher. I’ve been in hospitality for over 10 years. I’m very patient, friendly and love to be around people. My grandmother and I would watch all my mom’s friend’s children while they were at work from Infants to toddlers and I also worked at a gym teaching them poses. I do enjoy being of service to others who need it when I have the time, it brings me purpose in life. I’m very reliable and a trustworthy person.
Hi! My name is Thais and I’m currently a recent graduate about to begin ministry school. I’m offering childcare and pet care! I am an experienced babysitter and genuinely love spending time with kids. I’ve worked with 1–2 year olds, toddlers, and young children. I enjoy dancing, playing games, and creating fun activities that keep kids entertained. I can also help with tutoring and homework support when needed. As for pet care, I have experience taking care of up to four dogs at a time, and I have pets of my own, including one dog and two cats!
Hi! I’m Daniela 😊 I’m originally from Colombia, so I’m fully bilingual and love teaching kids Spanish in a fun, natural way through games, conversations, and everyday activities. I’m a caring, responsible, and creative babysitter with hands on experience both professionally and within my own family. I spent a year and a half as a nanny in the U.S. through Cultural Care Au Pair, where I had the opportunity to work with two amazing families. In Texas, I cared for a big, energetic household of five kids (home schoolers), which taught me how to stay organized, patient, and fun all at once. In Connecticut, I cared for two girls, one of whom required extra attention and care due to medical needs. That experience made me even more empathetic, attentive, and detail oriented when it comes to children’s well being. On top of that, I’ve basically been “the family nanny” since I was 15 I have 8 nieces and nephews, and I’ve always been the one helping my siblings take care of them. Being around kids has always been a huge part of my life, and it’s something I genuinely love. Outside of childcare, I work in music and marketing, which makes me super creative and great at keeping kids entertained in fun, engaging ways. Whether it’s coming up with games, doing arts & crafts, or just making everyday moments more exciting, I love creating a positive and joyful environment. I also know how to swim, ride horses, drive, dance, makeup, hair, etc, and I love anything creative like makeup and styling so I’m always happy to bring a little extra fun and personality into the day. I’m reliable, warm, and easy to communicate with, and I always make sure parents feel comfortable and updated. Looking forward to meeting a great family! 💛

"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."
