Milagros 3 reviews
$35 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Milagros. I'm a bilingual Spanish-English nanny with 4 years of childcare experience, including 2 years as an Au Pair in the U. S. and 2 years of childcare experience in Peru. During my first year in the U. S., I provided full-time care for a baby from 4 months old. In my second year, I worked alongside my sister caring for multiple children, including newborn twins, a 7-month-old baby, three toddlers, and a preschooler. I currently work part-time with two wonderful families. I care for a sweet 7month old baby and a lovely 3 years old girl with another family. I'm very grateful for the opportunity to work with both families, and they have kindly provided reviews for my profile. I'm loving, patient, responsible, organized, and respectful. I enjoy reading, singing, dancing, arts and crafts, playing, exploring outdoors, and teaching Spanish. I'm currently looking for new opportunities where I can continue providing loving, reliable, and engaging care for children.

“Milagros is wonderful with our baby. She is caring, patient, responsible, communicative, and dependable. She always makes sure our little one is safe, comfortable, happy, and well cared for. She is very attentive to our baby’s daily routine and helps with feeding, playtime, diaper changes, naps, and other activities throughout the day. She prepares healthy and delicious purees for our baby and is thoughtful about making meals that our little one enjoys. Milagros also keeps everything clean and organized. She sanitizes the toys regularly and in a timely manner, keeps the play area clean and tidy, and makes sure our baby has a clean and safe environment to play and explore in. What we especially appreciate about Milagros is her warm and loving personality. She connects very well with our baby and keeps our little one engaged with play, songs, and other age-appropriate activities. We truly appreciate having Milagros care for our baby and highly recommend her to any family looking for a caring, reliable, attentive, and responsible nanny.”

"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)."
