Hello! I’m Ayanna, a compassionate and experienced nanny with over seven years of experience. I’m passionate about working with infants and toddlers, finding great joy in their development. My experience includes caring for children from newborns to toddlers, understanding their unique needs. I’m skilled in all aspects of infant and toddler care, including: - Infant care: Feeding, diapering, soothing techniques, and maintaining a consistent sleep schedule. I’m comfortable with sleep training and patient during challenging times. - Toddler development: Creating age-appropriate, screen-free activities that foster curiosity and learning. This includes sensory play, arts and crafts, outdoor adventures, and early language and motor skill development. I follow a child’s lead while providing a structured routine. - Safety & communication: Safety is my top priority. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and vigilant about creating a secure environment. I communicate openly and consistently with parents, providing updates on their child’s day and supporting their family’s values and goals. I’m reliable, trustworthy, and organized. I have my own reliable transportation and am available for date nights, full-time, and part-time. I look forward to connecting with you!

I am an efficient and enthusiastic Spanish-speaking babysitter who enjoys spending time with children. I have been a babysitter for over 3 years. Although, I practice as a Registered Nurse, I don't ever want to stop caring for children. I adore children.

Excellent sitter. On time, friendly, professional and cool. She was able to connect with my kids immediately and they respected her as well.

Hello families! My name is Mary, and I have over 15 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to school-aged children. I am CPR and First Aid certified, TrustLine registered, and have excellent references from families I have worked with throughout the years. I am a loving, patient, reliable, and energetic caregiver who truly enjoys helping children learn, grow, and have fun in a safe environment. I enjoy planning educational activities, arts and crafts, reading, outdoor adventures, and age-appropriate learning experiences that keep children engaged and happy. I am currently looking for a wonderful family to work with and would love the opportunity to become a trusted part of your child’s life.

We have used Mary’s babysitting services for the past couple of years, and we have been extremely happy with her. We still use her whenever we attend weddings, birthday parties, date nights, or other special events because we know our child is in safe and caring hands. Mary loves doing fun and engaging activities with children and always keeps them active, happy, and entertained. She is trustworthy, dependable, and always on time. I would highly recommend Mary’s services to any family looking for a babysitter or full-time nanny. She is caring, responsible, and wonderful with children. You will not be disappointed.

"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)."
