Sevda $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Sevda. I'm a reliable and caring nanny with 3 years of childcare experience (toddlers included). I'm CPR/First Aid certified, a non-smoker, and I have a reliable car. I'm also a college student studying Psychology and Sociology and I'm working toward transferring to a university. I used to be a live-in au pair, so I'm very comfortable with routines, safety, and keeping kids engaged. I love doing simple activities like reading, crafts, music, and outdoor walks. I can also help with child meals, tidying up, and light housekeeping. Thank you!

Rosa $45 per hour for 1 child

My name is Rosa, and I am 35 years old with four wonderful children aged 15, 13, 4, and 1. My journey in childcare began with my first volunteer position at Santa Teresa High School daycare when I was just 15. I then worked there from ages 16 to 18. After graduating from high school, I had the privilege of working with a family of five for 11 years. Eventually, I decided to step back from my career to focus on my three daughters. When my youngest arrived, I embraced the role of a stay-at-home mom. Now that my children are older and more independent, I am eager to explore part-time job opportunities. Depending on the situation, I may also consider full-time work if I find a family that aligns well with my values and expectations. For the moment, I am taking a thoughtful approach to finding the right fit. 😊 Thank you for considering my background. I look forward to the possibility of discussing how I can contribute to your family. Warm regards, Rosa

"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."

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)."
