Maria $40 per hour for 1 child
Hello! My name is Maria,and I’m excited to be a new member of UrbanSitter! I work at an orthodontic office during the week, where I have the joy of connecting with children of all ages and helping them feel comfortable and cared for. As a mom to my wonderful six-year-old daughter, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your child. I bring that same level of care, patience, and attentiveness to every family I work with. We also have a sweet Norwich Terrier named Giuseppe, so I’m very comfortable around pets too! I look forward to getting to know your family!

Rafaella $20 per hour for 1 child
I am an experienced caregiver with a strong background in providing attentive and reliable care for children, pets, and households. From 2021 to 2023, I worked as a part-time nanny for three children, where I developed skills in organizing daily routines, preparing meals, assisting with homework, and engaging children in educational and recreational activities. In addition to childcare, I have experience caring for pets, ensuring their well-being through feeding, exercise, and companionship. I am also skilled in household management, including light cleaning, organizing, and keeping a safe and welcoming environment. My reliability, and nurturing approach make me a trustworthy and compassionate caregiver for families.
