My name is Claudia and I am 36 years old. I was born and raised in Colombia.While I was in Colombia free I took care of my little cousins in my free time. I would bathe them, feed them and played with them. Some weekends after school, I took care of my neighbors kids while they were at work. I would help on their homework, and also on school projects. We would do little arts and crafts activities once a week. I have experience with twins, triplets. I am currently taking care of 2 years old twins during the week, until middle on November. I'm looking for something full time over the week for starting the next month and weekends.I'm available .I can offer Spanish lessons to the children without any hassle. I am a responsible,honest, friendly, patient, and organized person who likes to help around.

Reliable, dependable, and engaging day/night nanny, NCS, Sleep Consultant, House Manager with over 15 years paid experience in all ages. Currently renewing Doula certification. Certified in infant and child CPR. Highly skilled and trained in infant and toddler development. Experience working in the NICU department, with neurodivergent and disabilities.

Experience working with learning and behavior disorders and working closely with neurodivergent children, Assimilated into households with diverse traditions, routines and religious/dietary practices.

Hiring Amanda was the best decision we ever made. Our daughter just turned 4 when we welcomed our twins into the world. We were so over-whelmed by the new demands. When Amanda came over, we could always look forward to a restful night sleep and her words of wisdom. Our babies had a sever case of reflux. They had to be held upright most of the nights. Her tips were so insightful and simple to follow-swaddle them, keep them upright (th reflux), smaller more frequent feedings, light bouncing. She cared for the babies like they were her own. We miss Amanda dearly and have referred her to family and friends.

I have about two years of experience caring for families outside and within urban sitter with CPR certification and a clean driving record. I have experience working at a day center and as a teachers assistant with special needs children. I’ve developed strong childcare expertise with managing routines, engaging with children through educational and playful activities. Alongside my work in childcare, I am pursuing a college degree in psych, focusing on child development. However, i am currently taking a gap year. I am also a highly responsible, consistent, nurturing, and supportive individual who takes pride in being apart of children’s lives!

Nat was absolutely amazing, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment she arrived, she was warm, professional, and incredibly attentive. She took the time to understand all of our instructions and followed them carefully, which immediately gave us peace of mind. She was also wonderful with our dog, Brody. Nat was so patient, gentle, and caring with him that he quickly became comfortable in her presence. Most importantly, she was fantastic with our son. Toddlers can definitely have their moments, and our son had a few emotional outbursts while we were away. Nat handled each one with incredible patience, kindness, and compassion. She never seemed flustered and approached every situation with a calm, nurturing attitude that made us feel completely confident he was in great hands. It’s not easy finding someone who is both dependable and genuinely caring, but Nat exceeded all of our expectations. We truly appreciated her attentiveness, communication, and the level of care she provided to our entire family. We will absolutely be using Nat again in the future and are looking forward to having her back. We highly recommend her to any family looking for someone who is trustworthy, patient, compassionate, and exceptional with children and pets.

Hello UrbanSitter families! My name is Gianella and I am a college student at my local university. Some of my hobbies include cooking and organizing. I offer child care, pet care, and household services. I have been watching toddlers, and kids for 6 years now. I have experience in working with twins and have watched more than one child at a time- all of varied ages. Some of my responsibilities have included driving to/from school, tutoring, cooking, and bedtime routines. I am a big animal lover! Currently, I have 5 dogs and 2 cats, of all breeds and sizes. I would love to care after your four-legged friends as well.

Gianella has watched our puppy multiple times over the last two years. She is such a responsible pet sitter. She is always on time, follows all of our directions for our dog’s needs, and we know he is always loved and cared for under her watch. We would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter for their pets!

"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)."
