Suray $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I am a warm, reliable, and caring provider who loves supporting families with kids, pets, and everyday needs. As a native Spanish speaker, I am thrilled to offer a wonderful opportunity for language immersion, helping children learn or practice Spanish naturally. Please note that my English is basic and I am currently studying to improve it; therefore, I am primarily looking to connect with Spanish-speaking or bilingual families where communication is smooth and clear. You can always count on my dedication, patience, and respect to give your family the best care!

Orah $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello, Orah there! I’m an experienced and caring childcare provider with a genuine love for working with children. I’ve been caring for children since the age of 16, initially helping family and friends with childcare, homework, tutoring, and school projects. I later spent two years as an au pair, where my responsibilities included driving children to and from school and extracurricular activities, preparing meals, providing care during parents’ date nights, and supporting their daily routines. I am CPR certified and have experience caring for children ranging from as young as 9 months old to 12 years old. I believe children bring a special kind of joy and perspective to the world. In such a busy and stressful world, I love seeing life through the innocence, curiosity, and wonder of little people’s eyes. Creating a safe, nurturing, fun, and supportive environment where children feel comfortable and cared for is always my priority. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and provide dependable, attentive, and loving care for your little ones!

"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."

"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)."
