Hi! My name is Mara, and im 23 years old. I’m a caring, patient, and reliable nanny with years of experience working with children. I truly enjoy spending time with kids and creating a safe, fun, and positive environment for them to grow and feel comfortable in. I’ve been working with children for a long time, both as a nanny and through my career in dental care, where I regularly work with kids and understand how to make them feel at ease. I graduated from dental school as a dental assistant and I’m still continuing my education to become a dental hygienist and my experience has helped me develop strong communication, patience, and attentiveness qualities I bring into every family I work with. I am CPR certified, which allows me to provide an extra level of safety and peace of mind for families. In my free time, I love going hiking and spending quality time with my friends and family. I’m looking forward to using my free time to continue doing what I love most caring for children and supporting families.

My name is Yonka and I am from Bulgaria. In my country I was a teacher for 20 years. Besides Bulgarian and English I speak Russian and a little bit French. Here I’m a babysitter/nanny/mother’s helper. I love kids, I have three grandchildren. My life is being surrounded with children. As a babysitter I follow the requirements the parents have. Strong communication is a must. With the little ones I go for a walk every day, to the library and parks, reed books, create stories, sing, do arts. I maintain the kid’s area clean and organized. It’s not a problem to do the laundry or load/unload the dishwasher. As a mother’s helper I clean, organize, do the dishes, including hand washing and laundry (fold and put clothes back, vacuuming.

Hi there! I'm Amal, and I absolutely love spending time with kids. There's something truly rewarding about helping them learn, grow, and have fun in a safe, caring environment. Whether it's playing games, assisting with homework, or simply being a good companion, I strive to create a positive, supportive atmosphere where kids feel comfortable and valued. I have 25 years of babysitting experience, having worked with children of various ages from infants to pre-teens. Over the years, I’ve gained valuable skills in managing routines, keeping kids entertained, and handling any unexpected situations that may arise. I am also experienced in meal preparation, light housekeeping, and ensuring kids stick to their schedules. I also have a background in child development, so I’m able to adapt my approach to suit each child’s needs, ensuring they feel supported and engaged. I’m a responsible, patient, and reliable sitter who believes in providing both fun and structure. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your family to discuss how I can help. I’m allergic to dogs but happy to work with family with cats. I have been a caretaker for my own parents and I am comfortable with senior care. Can drive to appointments,shopping and cook for them. Looking forward to hearing from you!

"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)."
