Rate is negotiable depending on the situation and hours. B.S. Graduate of Penn State University at University Park I’m a responsible, detail-oriented business owner and mother to adult children who understands the importance of trust, consistency, and care. For the past thirteen years, I’ve managed my own home and property, overseeing landscaping, pool service, household maintenance, and coordinating licensed service providers. I’m highly organized, calm under pressure, and proactive about communication. I love children and animals and am attentive to routines, feeding schedules, walks, medication needs, and companionship. I’m also happy to take children out for walks and to neighborhood playgrounds or the library when appropriate, helping them stay active, curious, and engaged throughout the day. I understand how important it is for families to feel secure while they’re away—your home will be kept clean, orderly, and respected. Friends describe me as dependable, nurturing, and solution-oriented. Whether caring for children (furry and non), checking mail, watering plants, or managing household tasks, I approach every role with integrity, warmth, and professionalism.

Milagros Los Gatos
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Milagros, I am 26 years old, and I am a bilingual nanny (Spanish-English) with experience caring for babies, toddlers, and children of different ages. During my experience as an Au Pair in the United States, I had the opportunity to care for a baby from 5 months old, supporting her growth and development through each stage. Currently, as part of my Au Pair program, I care for six children together with my sister, including babies, toddlers, and older children. This experience has helped me develop a lot of patience, responsibility, and confidence working with multiple children at the same time. I consider myself a very loving, patient, responsible, and attentive person. What I value most in my work with children is creating an environment where they feel safe, loved, and happy. I don’t only enjoy caring for children, but also supporting their learning, teaching them values, and helping them develop their skills with love and respect. I enjoy planning activities such as reading, singing, playing, doing crafts, and teaching Spanish if the family is interested. I love music; I studied music in Peru, and I enjoy singing and sharing that passion with children. I also love animals and would be happy to help with their care if needed. I am a clean, organized, and respectful person when entering a family’s home. For me, it is important to provide trust and peace of mind while caring for children with love and dedication. I would be happy to meet your family and have the opportunity to support you in caring for and helping your children grow.

"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
