Laura Sofia $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello, dear future families, My name is Sofia, I’m 22 years old, and I bring over three years of hands-on experience caring for babies and children of various ages. My approach to childcare is built on love, joy, patience, and unwavering support, values that guide me in creating a nurturing and positive environment for every child I care for. What I love most about this work is being part of a child’s journey as they grow, learn, and begin to understand and express their emotions. Every day is different, some filled with joy, others with challenges, and I’m here to support them through it all with calmness, empathy, and good communication. I’m also an excellent cook, a confident driver, and a strong swimmer. I’m very active and creative, and I love organizing engaging activities, from story time sessions to fun adventures at the park. My goal is to make each day enriching, safe, and filled with joy. I look forward to the opportunity to support your family and help your child thrive! Warmly, Sofía

"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)."
