Hello my name is Maria, I have about 12+ years experience working with children. From ages ranging from infant to 12 years old, in and outside the school setting. I have experience delivering behavior therapies as well. I am very quick when it comes to creating fun new ideas with children. I am patient, compassionate and understanding. My love for animals makes me a great animal sitter as well. Looking forward to meeting you and your family.

Maria was wonderful with our 11-month-old baby. She arrived early, was very professional, and immediately put us at ease. She followed our bedtime routine carefully and handled everything calmly and confidently. Communication was clear and timely, which we really appreciated since we were out for the evening. Our baby was well cared for and sleeping peacefully when we returned. We would absolutely recommend Maria to other families and would be happy to work with her again!

Peace! My name is Jaime, and I am a dedicated nanny/babysitter. I have over 5 years of experience working with families as a nanny, doula, postpartum work and more. I have gained the reputation that I am responsible, energetic, a great listener, open-minded, & have a free spirit approach. Growing up in a fairly large household has led me to babysit most of my teenage and adult life. Additionally, I am well experienced with children from infants to toddlers and up! I’m CPR certified, have a license, am a certified full-spectrum doula, as well as a certified Reiki Practioner and am a Holistic Nutritionist currently studying for the board exam. As a doula, I care for pregnant moms on their spiritual journey into motherhood, as well as helping postpartum, and as a Reiki healer, I give energy healing to mothers! I’m currently open to help a family FULL TIME with postpartum help and or support with newborns/ infants.

Hi! My name is Casiana and I 30 I used to be an au pair and I have around 10 years of experience babysitting children ages 3 months to 7 years old. My experience includes not only occasional babysitting but also work as a full-time nanny. It is very rewarding to be with a family for several years and see children grow I have done yoga with kids, arts and crafts, coloring, drawing, painting, read books, took kids to story time at the library, made cards, decorated cookies for Halloween and Christmas, made gingerbread houses, went to doctors appointments, went to mommy and me classes with babies and their moms, took kids to play areas/indoor playgrounds, parks and outdoor playgrounds, scavenger hunts, went to piano recitals, did zoom ballet classes, went swimming in the pool and at the beach, went to the farmers market with kids, grocery shopping and cooking together, you name it: I’ve done it! I have a holistic approach and I like Waldorf, Montessori and gentle parenting philosophies and ideas but I am also flexible and follow whatever guidelines the parents like and advise. My interests outside babysitting include volunteering, community organizing, vegan food (I’ve been vegetarian for over a decade), mindfulness and meditation and I love dogs (I’m obsessed with my pugs lol) I also like reading and started my own book club last year.

"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
