Hello families! My name is Ilce, I am from Nicaragua. I have been a nanny for quite some time but I am just joining this platform. I been a nanny for over 4 years. Besides raising my three girls which are now adults. I have experience mainly with babies and toddlers, but I have also some experience with older kids. I can provide stellar reviews (upon request) What do I bring to the table? I am very reliable, I like to go out on walks with the kids, teach them new things. I also like to cook, so I have previously help other families with light meal prep, cleaning, help doing some chores while kids are napping. My first language is Spanish so I do talk to babies, toddlers in Spanish so they can receive and learn a new language. I’m looking forward to talk to you and meet your family! Don’t hesitate to ask any question, Thanks, Ilce

Ilce has helped with my two girls, three years old and seven months old. She has helped us for the last two years. She plays with them, helps us around the house, and is always available when we need her. She is very respectful, and punctual, and we always had great communication.

Hi! I'm from Brazil and have a bachelor's degree in Psychology. I'm a caring, responsible and patient caregiver with experience looking after children of different ages. I enjoy creating fun, educational, and safe activities while helping children grow with confidence. I'm also comfortable with pets, light housekeeping, meal preparation and daily routine.

Grace $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Grace. I'm a dedicated caregiver based in San Francisco with a passion for working with children. I love babysitting and have been caring for kids of all ages since I was young. Growing up, I helped raise my four younger siblings — handling everything from meals and bedtime routines to homework and keeping the peace! I've also babysat regularly for families in my community, so I'm experienced with a variety of ages and personalities. I'm patient, nurturing, and calm under pressure. Kids feel comfortable with me quickly, and parents can trust that I'm reliable and communicative. Happy to work with dogs and cats!

"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."

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)."
