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. My psychology background helps me understand children's emotional and developmental needs and I always focus on building a warm, trusting relationship with both kids and their families. - CPR & First Aid Certification - 5+years of experience

$25 per hour for 1 child

Hey Guys!! My name is Gabi, I’m a 19 year old looking for a full time job as a nanny! I have had experience with kids from ages 6 months- 5 since I was 15. My mom is a daycare owner and I was her assistant for about 3 years . I love working with kids and am excited to hopefully find a family I can work for! I can cook, clean, help with homework if needed, and if you guys have pets, I love animals and would love to help as well. I have also graduated high school! I have cpr documents/papers if needed. Thank you :)!

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We couldn’t recommend Gabi more! She has been babysitting both of our daughters for the past three years, and we trust her completely. Our girls are now 2 and 4, and she has built such a special bond with them. She always keeps them entertained with fun activities while providing the most loving, patient, and safe care. The biggest testament to how amazing she is? Our daughters are constantly asking, “When is Gabi coming over to play?” They absolutely adore her, and as parents, there’s nothing better than knowing your children are so happy and excited to spend time with their babysitter. If you’re looking for someone who is dependable, caring, engaging, and truly loves the kids she watches, Gabi is the absolute best. We are so grateful to have found her!”

Alexa $32 per hour for 1 child

I’m a caring, dependable mom who understands how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your children. I treat every child in my care with the same patience, attention, and kindness I would want for my own. I’m fluent in both English and Spanish and love creating fun, age-appropriate experiences for kids. Whether it’s an active day at a local park, playing outside, getting creative with crafts and watercolor painting, reading, or enjoying a quiet activity, I’m happy to meet each child where they are. I can also prepare basic meals, help tidy up, and I’m a big animal lover, so pets are no problem! Most importantly, I want parents to have peace of mind knowing their children are safe, happy, cared for, and having a genuinely good time while they’re away.

"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)."
