Liliya $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, thanks for checking out my profile! I have 8+ years of nanny experience caring for little ones from newborns to early elementary age. Over the years, I've worked with multiple families long-term and some short term and have also been a traveling nanny so I've picked up plenty of tips and tricks to make life easier for both parents and kids. These days, I focus on occasional care think daytime fill-ins when your sitter calls in sick or daycare is closed, date nights, overnights, and even travel care. Really when you need an extra set of hands. Families appreciate not only the care I give to their children but also the peace of mind that comes from knowing their home and routines are in good hands too. I have a flexible schedule but like to plan ahead whenever possible. If you're looking for a reliable, experienced nanny you can count on for those in-between moments, I'd love to chat! Also I’m new to Urban Sitter but have reviews on care.com.

* I am currently only taking occasional babysitting opportunities. Hi! My name is Maria and I seriously love hanging out with children. They are so full of amazing energy and such a joy to be around. I am passionate about children because you can learn a lot from them, like how to enjoy the simple things in life. I have been working with children for over 8 years as a babysitter for friends and family. I am a former Registered Behavior Technician. I learned and gained a lot of experience working with children diagnosed with autism. I have worked with all ages from newborn to 16 years old. I love working with children and getting to know them and their individual personalities. I enjoy drawing, coloring, doing arts & crafts. I can bake cookies 🍪 and take them to the park, museum, zoo or any other fun places too. Kids are simply my favorite to be around. They are full of imagination. I also speak Spanish :) I look forward to meeting many families and building relationships with them so when they need part-time babysitting or occasional date nights, I can help take care of their lil ones. 💕

“Reliable, trustworthy, and wonderful with children. She is attentive, patient, and kept my child engaged . She also helped tidy up make house neat and organized, which I really appreciated. Communication was excellent and i would gladly hire her again.”
