Hi, I’m Vanessa. I’m 26 years old, and I’m from Brazil. I’ll tell you a little bit about my experience. I started working at a mall, selling children’s clothes and helping parents try outfits on their kids. At that moment, I realized how much I love children, so I knew I needed to do something related to that. I started volunteering at a preschool, where I spent time with the kids. They had cooking classes and played games, and it was an amazing experience. However, I left to work for a family with a 3-year-old boy. I used to take care of him—playing, feeding him, giving him baths, and sometimes putting him to bed so his parents could have a date night. I also helped them with potty training. I stayed with this family for a year and a half, and we still keep in touch. Later, I worked for another family with two children—a girl (11) and a boy (8). We used to play, watch movies, give them fruit or dinner, and help them get ready for bed. I am someone who enjoys reading books with children, playing outdoors, exploring, and discovering new things. I am also very patient and respectful with kids. For pet parents, I am an animal lover! I grew up with dogs, so they are a big part of my life. I personally have five dogs in my home country. I also take care of a family’s pet, visiting their house to play with the animal, take it for walks, give it treats, water, and food, and spend quality time with it before leaving.

Vanessa was great with our 2.5yo daughter. Would love to hire her again!

Hi families! I’m Paula. I’ve been working in childcare since 2017 – over 9 years of experience with children ages 6 months to 16 years. I also spent 2 years as an au pair, so I’m very comfortable being a warm, reliable part of a family’s daily life. My current situation: I’m currently caring for a wonderful 2-year-old, but I previously was taking care her sibling before he started school. I’ve been with my most recent family for 5 years – but both of their children are starting to go to school full-time, so I’m respectfully transitioning to a new opportunity. Safety & reliability: . Fully vaccinated . Own car + clean driving record . References available from past families What I bring to your family: I’m loving, patient, and proactive. I love helping children, I enjoy the outdoors – parks, hiking, exploring nature – but I’m also great at indoor crafts, games, and keeping things organized. I cook, I clean up, and I show up on time. I’d love to support your family – let’s talk!

Maria is absolutely wonderful!!! She is reliable, responsible and professional at her job. The love and care that she gave our daughter was something that just came naturally to her. My daughter loved spending time with Maria, reading books and building blocks together was some of their favorite things to do together. We love Maria and we cannot recommend her enough ❤️🥰

Hi! My name is Alexis and I have been babysitting for multiple families since 2021. I love working with kids and typically lead activities including knitting, crafts, reading, baking, walks, games and make believe. I have experience handling general needs: changed diapers, prepared simple meals, basic cleaning and safety.

We feel so lucky to have found Alexis. She is kind, reliable, and communicates clearly. She always confirms plans and checks in after babysitting. She is consistently on time and brings a calm, trustworthy presence that makes it easy to leave our kids in her care. Our girls, ages 5 and 10, absolutely adore her. They often talk about how Alexis somehow finds the energy to play whatever games they come up with. Whether it is pretend play, board games, or running around outside, she is all in. She is also wonderful at bedtime and reads to them in a way that helps them wind down and feel cared for. It is clear Alexis has a natural gift with children. She is patient, fun, and genuinely enjoys spending time with our girls. We recommend her wholeheartedly!

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
