Hi! My name is Yara. I was previously an Au Pair, and I have experience caring for children from newborns to 13 years old. Although I’m no longer an Au Pair, I now work as a nanny/babysitter in my free time. I am CPR certified, I can help with homework when needed and also assist with light household tasks such as laundry, washing dishes, and putting them away. Additionally, I’ve worked at children’s birthday parties, organizing games, supervising, and interacting with the kids. I’m bilingual, I speak Portuguese (native proficiency) and English. I have a valid work permit to work in the U.S.
Solangie $20 per hour for 1 child
My personality is very valuable in childcare. I am a kind, responsible, and honest person. People who know me tell me that I am very charming and patient in my work and personal life. I work hard at everything I am willing to do. Also, I know how to communicate effectively with others, which I think is very important when working with families. Of note, I have experience in childcare and I am very enthusiastic. Children always connect with me. I think I have good vibes to get along with others. As for household chores, I try to do them on time and efficiently. I have experience cooking meals and preparing healthy snacks, driving children, and providing them with activities to enjoy in their daily lives.

"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."
