Hello parents! I'm a bilingual nanny (PT/EN) with over 9 years of experience providing care for children, from newborns all the way to teenagers! I consider myself to be attentive, sensitive, patient, kind, curious and loving with kids. I believe in creating a partnership with the parents I work with to help raise their kids to grow up being the best humans they can: smart, respectful, curious, compassionate and loving, and I do that by creating a safe, nurturing and enriching environment. 😊 Additionally, I’m fully covid vaccinated and boosted, have a valid driver’s license, and a clean driving record. I’m also CPR/First Aid Certified. Both resumĆ© and references can be provided upon request!

ā€œLetĆ­cia was excellent with our almost two year old and even got him to sleep quicker than we can most nights. I would definitely recommend her and will be happy to have her take care of our child again. ā€

Hello all! Thanks so much for your interest! Kids have been a passion of mine ever since I was young! I have been babysitting since the 7th grade, and I was long term (every day after school, Saturday nights, and Sunday mornings and afternoons) for a family in Atlanta for over 4 years. I also traveled with them on their beach vacation as an extra pair of hands. My other experience includes volunteering at my local church with newborns, infants and toddlers. Along with my nannying experience, I was also a camp counselor for two summers (2012 and 2013) with the University of Georgia 4-H program, working with middle school students. Because I was lucky enough to be selected for this competitive position, I am CPRO (CPR for the professional rescuer) certified, as well as a certified Red Cross lifeguard and certified in First Aid. Along with my camp training, I was also a lifeguard in high school in the summers before I graduated as a trained American Red Cross Lifeguard, and was also trained in the Red Cross Learn-To-Swim Swimming Lessons program (k-12). Along with my camp experience in Georgia, I had the wonderful opportunity of working with Camp Galileo in the Bay Area (2 years) and I was a senior team leader at the Manhattan Beach location for Camp G's first summer down south! After working as an outdoor educator (with 4th. 5th, and 6th graders) in the southern California mountains for two years, I moved back to the Bay Area in 2016 and have been working as a nanny ever since. With all my experience, I am able and willing to work with all ages, as well as take any courses parent(s) find necessary to prepare for whatever age needed. I am willing to have a separate background check as well as provide extra references. I love kiddos and I love to be on their level and connect with them. I love fostering an environment for creative play and I consider it a true gift to be able to help them learn, explore and discover! Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you! **UPDATE ON MY PROFILE AS OF 7/2019** I recently took on a new position as a behavioral technician for clients with special needs, providing ABA therapy 6 days a week. Bittersweetly, I no longer have any extra time available to babysit. However, if I delete my UrbanSitter profile I will loose all of my contacts and the wonderful references I have received during my time on this amazing platform. I wish you the best of luck in your search! Thank you!

Hi families! I’m Dani 😊 I’m an experienced nanny who truly cares about creating a safe, loving, and fun environment for kids. My priority is always making sure children feel comfortable, supported. I have several years of hands-on experience with infants, toddlers, and young children, including working as a preschool teacher in a Montessori school, an au pair in the U.S., and a full-time nanny. Today, I focus on providing attentive personalized care, whether that’s keeping little ones on their routines, planning age-appropriate activities, or simply being present and responsive to their needs. I’m responsible, patient, organized, and very attentive to safety. I also love creating fun moments with kids through play, creativity, and outdoor time when possible. I’m a strong driver (10+ years of experience), fully vaccinated with booster, CPR & First Aid certified, and a non-smoker. I’d love the opportunity to connect and see how I can support your family. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions! Looking forward to hearing from you ā˜ŗļø

ā€œDani did an amazing job taking care of our daughter. She was very professional and great at engaging with our five year old. We would recommend her highly to other families and hope to have her come back to take care of our daughter again. ā€

Hey guys! My name is Laura, I'm 28 years old, I have a law degree from Brazil and I currently provide child and pet care in Seattle. In my home country, I worked with children aged 0 to 14 (several at the same time!) in a playground, as a monitor, and I also provided care for my younger sister for several years (she is currently 9 years old!) . In Seattle, I have extensive experience caring for infants (including twins!) and toddlers. In addition to changing diapers, offering bottles and healthy foods and lots of affection and love, I also have experience with food introduction, games for milestone development and simple sign languages ​​for infant communication. I also love listening to music, entertaining and exercising the imagination of children of all ages! I am also available to clean areas related to children and I have good experience with this. Finally, I have lived with pets my entire life and can act as a sitter for them with all the affection and happiness that your pet deserves.

ā€œLaura was wonderful with our 3 year old. He was having a very hard time with us leaving and she was calm, sweet, and handled it so well. She texted us soon after we left, letting us know that everything was going well. She was also on time and very communicative. We would love to work with her again soon!ā€

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
