Nathalia $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Nathalia, I'm 31 years old, originally from Brazil, and I have a degree in Public Health. I'm a positive, energetic, and responsible person who truly loves working with children. I bring warmth, patience, and consistency into every home, and I always aim to create a safe, loving, and fun environment for each child I care for. I also love cooking - especially Brazilian food - and I've been a confident driver since 2014. Experience in Brazil During college, I worked in a hospital for one year caring for babies, which is where I discovered my passion for childcare. I also taught English to children ages 3 to 7 at a language school, helping them learn through play, creativity, and routine. Experience in the United States I came to the U.S. through the Au Pair Program (2[removed]), where I cared for three wonderful children, ages 7, 9, and 12. We built such a strong connection that we still keep in touch today. Professional Nanny Experience Over the years, I've had the privilege of working with many families, caring for children from newborns to school-age kids. My experience includes: • Family 1: Care for a baby from 10 to 23 months old. • Family 2: Short-term care for an 11-month-old baby. • Family 3: Started with a newborn and stayed until he was 20 months old and transitioned to daycare. • Family 4: Cared for a baby from 11 months to 2 years and 2 months old. • Family 5: Helped two families with children ranging from newborn to 3 years old, and another set of siblings ages 5 and 7. • Family 6 (current): Caring for two children, ages 2 months and 3 years old. Across all these roles, my responsibilities have included: feeding, playing, outdoor activities, bathing when needed, diaper changes, organizing routines, supporting developmental milestones, and creating engaging educational activities. What I Bring to Your Family I'm nurturing, reliable, organized, and always focused on the well-being and safety of the children. I pride myself on good communication, flexibility, and the ability to keep daily routines running smoothly. Families describe me as calm, responsible, and genuinely loving with their children. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. I'd love the opportunity to meet your family and see if we're the right fit. Thank you, and I look forward to speaking with you soon!

Rachel $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Rachel, and I recently graduated from college. I am a compassionate, dependable, and patient caregiver available for child care, senior care, and pet care services. I understand that care needs don't always happen on a schedule, so I am often available for short-notice, evening, weekend, and last minute requests. My greatest caregiving experience comes from serving as the primary caregiver for my grandmother for two years through her end of life care journey. During that time, I assisted with daily living activities, meal preparation, transportation, companionship, medication reminders, mobility assistance, and emotional support. This experience taught me the value of patience, empathy, reliability, and treating every individual with dignity and respect. I currently work in campus safety at a high school, where I interact with students, staff, and families daily. This role has strengthened my communication skills, responsibility, problem solving abilities, and capacity to remain calm in high pressure situations. I am CPR and First Aid certified, have reliable transportation, am a non smoker, and can pass a background check. My goal is to provide families with peace of mind by delivering safe, attentive, and personalized care. Services Offered ✔ Child care & babysitting
✔ Senior care & companionship
✔ Pet sitting & dog walking
✔ Transportation & errands
✔ Homework assistance
✔ Meal preparation
✔ Light housekeeping
✔ Overnight care
✔ Short notice bookings
✔ Evening & weekend availability I take pride in being reliable, trustworthy, and attentive. Whether I'm caring for children, seniors, or pets, I provide the same level of dedication and compassion that I would give to my own family.

Dana 2 reviews
$21 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Dana and I’m currently a college student attending cypress college! I absolutely love working with children of all ages, and I’ve been a Girls Scout leader working with young girls and part time with the Boyscouts, for around 4 years now. I’ve been able to deal with children of all ages including seniors in highschool, no child is ever too “hard” to handle, I’ve dealt with every mood swing and every difficult situation you can think of, which has honestly made me a better person and better leader for them as well. I’ve worked with children with severe autism, I’ve worked with blind children, children with disabilities, + Being around children as they grow and learn more about their own personalities and their emotions, has been such an amazing experience to be able to guide them and be someone they could look up to and lean on for advice! please feel free to ask me any questions, and we’ll see if it’s a good fit for you and I!

“Dana’s professionalism and childcare experience are undeniable. She’s great with kids of all ages and is very caring and gentle with children. Highly recommend to book with her!”

"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)."
