Gabriela 1 review
$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!

Hello, my name is Dajanna, and I am a dedicated professional currently expanding my knowledge as a student at CCC. I am fully bilingual in English and Spanish, allowing me to communicate effectively with diverse families and children. With 5 years of experience in childcare, my passion lies in nurturing the development and well-being of young children. I currently work as a preschool teacher and also offer reliable babysitting services on the weekends. I hold current CPR certification for infants, toddlers, and adults, ensuring I am prepared to handle various emergency situations with competence and confidence. My responsibilities are changing diapers/ clothes, preparing/ giving snack out, nap time, supervision. I pride myself on being a highly flexible individual, readily adapting to the unique needs and schedules of each family. My services extend beyond direct care; I am comfortable assisting with light housework and reliably driving children to and from school. I am also completely comfortable with pets in the home. I am a trustworthy person who approaches every child I work with, whether in the classroom or as a sitter, with deep care, respect, and professionalism. I am committed to creating a safe, supportive, and engaging environment where children can thrive. I look forward to the opportunity of working and meeting your family! 😊

"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)."
