Hi my name is Lana, I am a current sophomore in college. I am majoring in biology and child development as a my minor!! I have two younger siblings, one 7 years old and 11 years old and I’m the oldest cousin in my family. I've helped take care of them when they were infants and toddlers so I have experience with diaper changing, putting them to sleep and most especially playing with them and having fun!! The past 3 summers I have been working with elementary school aged children during summer camp. I typically worked with students from the ages 5-8 years old. I love working with kids and I aspire to have a career that involves working with children.
Hi! I'm Gabriella (Gabbii), a childcare provider with 5–10 years of experience working with children of all ages — from newborns to school-age kids. My background includes hands-on work at a daycare center, years of babysitting for local families, and ongoing volunteer work with infants and toddlers. I'm also CPR and First Aid certified, so parents can feel confident their little ones are in safe, capable hands. I'm passionate about creating nurturing environments where kids feel comfortable and have fun. Whether it's playtime, storytime, or helping with homework, I bring patience, energy, and genuine care to every family I work with. I'd love to meet your little ones!
Hi! I’m a caring, responsible, and patient caregiver who enjoys spending time with children and helping families feel supported. I have experience caring for kids of different ages and I always focus on creating a safe, fun, and positive environment. I’m reliable, organized, and comfortable helping with routines, meals, playtime, bedtime, and light household tasks. I’m also flexible with occasional babysitting and part-time care, and I always try to make children feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for.
“Jhenifer was great with our little girls. They absolutely loved her. She watched them for a full night after a long day and helped with dinner and bed time.”

I go by Nelli :) Experienced babysitter/nanny/doula. I started at Jovie in 2023, then moved to care.com, and now available with UrbanSitter! Once I realized how much I enjoy working with infants and advocating for parents I began studying to become a doula. I now am 4 years experienced with all ages working as a full spectrum doula who provides occasional infant and childcare. I am here to represent kids and families with the support and advocacy they need. (Also have excellent references :) Certifications: full spectrum doula, CPR, AED
