Hi , My Name is Silvia and I’m looking forward to getting to know your family! I love working 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 the past 11 years. 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 also enjoy watching children grow and learn, helping them as they grow and face new challenges in school and life in general. Anyone who knows me can confirm my love for them. I know how important it is for a parent to trust someone with their kids I'm willing to gain your trust.

Hello there! 👋 My name is Andy, and I bring almost 15 years of professional childcare experience (including 5 years of being a live-in nanny) working with children ranging in age from 1 month to 15 years old. I’ve been on Urbansitter since 2013! In addition to my nannying background, I have 11 years of experience as a trusted dog sitter, house sitter, family assistant and house manager...helping busy households run smoothly by offering support with scheduling, errands, organization, and day-to-day tasks. Please check out my reviews from wonderful families I’ve worked for in the past! I’m known for being nurturing, creative, and calm under pressure. I genuinely love being around children and creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for them to grow and thrive. I especially enjoy incorporating art, photography, and imaginative play into my time with kids. Whether it’s helping with homework, cooking kid’s food, preparing healthy snacks, doing kid’s laundry or managing routines, I bring thoughtfulness and care to every part of the job. I’m a non-smoker, allergy free, COVID and Tdap vaccinated, trained in CPR and First Aid. I have a clean driving record (I can drive a stick shift ;) and am very comfortable driving in the city and on the freeway. I prefer driving kids in parent’s car for liability and insurance reasons. I’m currently open to occasional babysitting, date nights, or regular positions with families who are great communicators and want someone fun and safe. Open to cash or payroll with benefits. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions and I look forward to meeting you and your family! Warmly, Andy PS: I’ve recently had several families booking me in advance and then canceling on me a few hours before the job starts, so I now require a full payment if you cancel less than 72 hours before the job starts. Thank you for respecting my time!

"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)."
