Hi families! My name is Catherine. I am currently pursuing my bachelor's degree, but I love working with children on the side, as I have always loved working with youth. I understand how instrumental it is for children to have someone patient, supportive, and caring to support their growth and well-being. I have been caregiving for children, from infants to preteens (5m-12y) for about 5 years now. I used to work as a Camp Counselor during the summers, which taught me multitasking, patience, and problem-solving, amongst several valuable lessons. I have also grown up babysitting outside the app, building valuable and meaningful connections with several families and caring for their little ones! My responsibilities consisted of organizing and maintaining each child's schedule, organizing playdates, assisting with homework, organizing and providing creative projects and arts and crafts, assisting with light housekeeping duties, and maintaining bedtime routines! I understand that choosing a caregiver for your children is a significant decision, and I take that trust very seriously. My goal is to create an environment where children feel safe, comfortable, and encouraged to be themselves. Additionally, I am offering pet care and household services. I am extremely comfortable with dogs/cats, as I grew up around them. Can work around their diets, schedules, playtime, and routines! Grew up with three very large American Bulldogs, so size is not an issue for me. I enjoy playing with both cats and dogs of all breeds! My ultimate goal is to ensure families and individuals can rely on someone to look after their pets, little ones, or receive a helping hand with household services! I am also open to interviews if needed. Thank you for your consideration!

Catherine is really great with my daughter, it’s been great having her take care of my daughter while I am at home working. She arrives on time, talks and reads to my baby. She stays engaged with my baby and is able to get her to nap.

Hi- My name is Nai! I started my caregiver journey with watching my siblings and many many cousins. Over the last few years, I have primarily worked with toddlers-school age long term for two families(one including two sets of twins), with tons of short-term jobs in between. I love doing all kinds of activities with the kiddos; including painting, walks in nature and a little jam out session here and there :) In my free my time, I love to make music, reading and be out exploring nature! Willing to discuss and be flexible with rates as needed! Feel free to message me with any questions!!

Hi👋🏻 A good nanny is not only someone who takes care of children, but also someone who provides them with love, security, and stimulation for their development. Three fundamental qualities that distinguish an exceptional nanny are empathy, patience, and creativity.🥰 As a plus, I work in a daycare from a few days a week , my vocation is really beautiful and I love my job🫶🏻 CPR First Aid Mandatory Report/ Finger Prints- Footprints / to work in daycare/ Experience with Children - Reference letter if necessary Vaccines/ Covid, Tuberculosis

Daniela is kind and playful. She’s someone honest that I feel that I can trust. She’s has great ideas for pre-school preparation which is also very helpful.

"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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

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)."

Eric D., dad of two
