*Early Childhood Educator & Caregiver* With a strong background in early childhood education and care, I have accumulated 5 years of experience working with children in various capacities. *Teaching Experience (2 years)* As a teacher, I developed and implemented engaging lesson plans, managed classroom dynamics, and fostered a nurturing environment that promoted social, emotional, and cognitive growth in my students. *Au Pair Experience (1 year)* As an au pair, I provided full-time care for a family, managing daily routines, meal preparation, and household tasks while ensuring the children's physical, emotional, and educational needs were met. *Nanny Experience (2 years)* In my role as a nanny, you worked both live-in and live-out, providing personalized care and attention to children. Your responsibilities included: - Transporting children to and from school, activities, and appointments - Planning and organizing playdates, outings, and social events - Coordinating schedules, meals, and daily routines - Creating a safe, engaging, and stimulating environment that encouraged learning and development - Building strong relationships with the children, parents, and other caregivers
My name is Brian, and I have a lifelong love for animals—especially dogs. I’ve always believed that great caregiving comes from patience, empathy, and genuine passion for helping others, whether they walk on two legs or four. Experience with Animals: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, from energetic puppies to older companions who need a gentler touch. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walking routines, grooming, administering medication, and giving plenty of playtime and affection. I also have experience with cats, small animals, and even a few birds.
My name is Sara, I am a bilingual nanny with 20 years of experience taking care of children. I have experience with newborns, toddlers and children up to 12 years of age. I love and enjoy taking care of children, they are so adorable and fun to be around. I have my resume and great references upon request.
Hi there! I’m so excited at the opportunity to support your family. I come from a big, close-knit family and have always been surrounded by little ones—from growing up helping with my baby cousins to caring for neighborhood kids after school. More recently, I’ve had the joy of watching my nephew grow (he’s now 1.5 years old!), and spending time with him has only deepened my appreciation for the patience, attentiveness, and flexibility that caregiving requires. Families often describe me as reliable, nurturing, and calm under pressure. I naturally connect with children and love creating a safe, warm, and playful environment where they feel seen and supported—whether that’s through imaginative play, story time, or simply being present and consistent. I would love to bring that energy to your home and help make your day-to-day just a little easier and more joyful. Looking forward to connecting!

"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."
