Hi! I’m Gisela. Im a nursing student, experienced caregiver, and someone who genuinely loves working with kids. I’ve worked through the YMCA in after-school programs with children from 1st to 5th grade, and I’m also the proud, very involved aunt to a 5-year-old niece who keeps me on my toes. I’m great with animals (dogs are my specialty, but I fully respect cats and their space), comfortable with cleaning and household help, and I bring a lot of warmth and structure to the families I work with. I come from a Mexican background where caring for others is second nature, and my healthcare experience has taught me patience, attentiveness, and strong communication. I chose nannying because it fits well with my nursing school schedule and because caregiving is something I truly enjoy.
Hello Urban Sitter families! My name is Hadie, I am a Registered Nurse who took a step back from my full-time bedside nursing career to be with my family and work as a Per diem Nurse. I joined Urban Sitter back in 2015, where I worked with several families and became a nanny to one family for 8 years. I am offering child care, pet care, and senior care services. I enjoy being a babysitter/caregiver and have cared for individuals of all ages, newborn to 100 years old, and all ages in between. I cook, clean, organize, drive, and do anything asked to the best of my ability. I love working with children and creating all kinds of indoor and outdoor activities, movie watching, singing and dancing, baking, sports, and even arts and crafts. I cannot wait to see what opportunities I get and the families I will meet. Thank you for your time! I'm currently not taking full-time jobs; however, I am interested in a part-time job if it is the right fit for both of us and scheduling. I would mostly love to help with date nights/occasional babysitting.
Hello! It’s great to meet you ! I work as a substitute teacher during the school year and pick up occasional jobs here as well. I teach Kindergarten through twelfth grade and am very familiar and comfortable with that wide age range! Besides that, I have also worked in other school districts as an after school leader, where I was used to working one on one with students as well as leading large groups of kiddos as well. I have also nannied for a family with two babies, ages 2 1/2 and 9 months until I started working as a permanent substitute. I find kids’ energetic and kind personalities a joy to be around and I love working with kids for those reasons! I have a clean driving record and happily offer pickup and drop off from school if needed. I can offer school related assistance including homework help, arts and crafts, light tidying around the household, and anything else that I may be of help in. My priority is always to ensure that this is a great experience for both the family and children, as for me as a caretaker! Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns and I will be more than happy to answer them! I am excited to meet you and potentially work with your family and little ones! I am fully vaccinated as well as have all of the boosters and am CPR Certified for all ages.
Hello, my name is Ashley. I am punctual, trustworthy, energetic, and patient. I am bilingual in Spanish and fluently speak it as well. I have been babysitting for neighbors since I was a teen. Now, my nanny families come from word of mouth. I have worked with children in various settings (as a tutor, therapist, & teacher's assistant). I enjoy spending time outdoors, doing crafts, and creative play. I have watched children as young as three weeks old and up to younger adults (with autism and intellectual disabilities). I have experience watching multiple children at a time. I have taken child development courses and am certified in Adult, Child, and Infant, Pediatric CPR/AED and First Aid.
