Hercy 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I’m a responsible caregiver who is passionate about her Job. I have taken care of and raised children since they a born. I have experienced in shared families as well were I have taken care of 3 babies at a time. I also have experience preparing food for babies and toddlers if needed. I have an open mind and always willing to learn more.

Hercy is a wonderful nanny and has been a blessing to my family. She took care of my son from age 1.5 to age 3. She also cared for my daughter during this time, who is currently 8 years old. Hercy has treated my children like her own and truly loves them. She offered nurturing and stimulating care, with lots of educational outings and opportunities to socialize. She created a routine for my son, cooked nutritious food for both of my children, helped keep the house tidy, and even fed and walked my dog when needed. I especially like that she gave my kids her full attention, with lots of games, songs, and books in both English and Spanish, and did not spend time on her phone when she was with them. Hercy also went out of her way to celebrate holidays, bring over new toys, and even planned birthday parties for my son. I didn't expect any of this, it is just the type of loving care that she provides. If you are looking for a caregiver who truly loves children, is very experienced, and has an impressive work ethic, I encourage you to contact Hercy.

Nora is an amazing nanny. She has been taking care of our two-year-old son several times when he was sick, and she was absolutely wonderful. Nora is incredibly attentive, thoughtful, and treats our son like her own grandchild. We love that she is always fully present and never on her phone. Instead, she is constantly engaging with him—singing, playing, and making sure he gets to play outside, which he absolutely enjoys. We trust her completely and highly recommend her!

Theresa $32 per hour for 1 child

Hi I’m Theresa. I am 34 years old. I am a nanny, sitter, and mother’s helper. I have over 15 years of experience in newborn care all the way up to teenagers. I am a mother to four wonderful daughters so I have personal experience due to raising my own children. I have always enjoyed caring for children. It truly brings me so much joy. I handle all aspects of care such as bathing, potty training, meal prep, driving to and from activities. I am kind, gentle, warm, and engaging. I stick to routines and stay consistent with the schedule. I consider myself long term as I have worked for families that have lasted over 5 years. My typical schedule can be anywhere from 8:30/9:00am to 5/5:30pm daily. I can do school pickup and drop off in needed. I also provide date night and overnight care and can occasionally provide care during the weekends. Some things I enjoy doing with children under my care are picnics at the park, play dates, reading, playgrounds, library, games, and art with the children. I truly have so much to offer. References available upon request. Thank you.

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."

Eric D., dad of two
