Hello, my name is Jessica. I have over three years of experience caring foggr children of various ages. I am a patient, dependable, and nurturing person who genuinely enjoys helping children learn, grow, and feel supported in their daily lives. I have experience working with private families and in a school setting too, where I worked with children from TK through 6th grade. As a teaching assistant, I helped support children’s learning, encouraged positive behavior, and assisted with age-appropriate educational activities. These experiences have strengthened my ability to create a safe, structured, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable and encouraged to develop their skills. I am bilingual in English and Spanish, which allows me to communicate with and support families from different backgrounds. I am happy to assist with meal preparation, homework, creative activities, playtime, and daily routines for the kid . I have CPR and First Aid certified and always prioritize creating a safe and nurturing environment.I look forward to building a meaningful connection with your family and helping your little ones learn, grow, and thrive.

Milagros 3 reviews
$35 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Milagros. I'm a bilingual Spanish-English nanny with 4 years of childcare experience, including 2 years as an Au Pair in the U. S. and 2 years of childcare experience in Peru. During my first year in the U. S., I provided full-time care for a baby from 4 months old. In my second year, I worked alongside my sister caring for multiple children, including newborn twins, a 7-month-old baby, three toddlers, and a preschooler. I currently work part-time with two wonderful families. I care for a sweet 7month old baby and a lovely 3 years old girl with another family. I'm very grateful for the opportunity to work with both families, and they have kindly provided reviews for my profile. I'm loving, patient, responsible, organized, and respectful. I enjoy reading, singing, dancing, arts and crafts, playing, exploring outdoors, and teaching Spanish. I'm currently looking for new opportunities where I can continue providing loving, reliable, and engaging care for children.

“Milagros is wonderful with our baby. She is caring, patient, responsible, communicative, and dependable. She always makes sure our little one is safe, comfortable, happy, and well cared for. She is very attentive to our baby’s daily routine and helps with feeding, playtime, diaper changes, naps, and other activities throughout the day. She prepares healthy and delicious purees for our baby and is thoughtful about making meals that our little one enjoys. Milagros also keeps everything clean and organized. She sanitizes the toys regularly and in a timely manner, keeps the play area clean and tidy, and makes sure our baby has a clean and safe environment to play and explore in. What we especially appreciate about Milagros is her warm and loving personality. She connects very well with our baby and keeps our little one engaged with play, songs, and other age-appropriate activities. We truly appreciate having Milagros care for our baby and highly recommend her to any family looking for a caring, reliable, attentive, and responsible nanny.”

Zulema $30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Los Gatos, CA

Hello- My name is Zulema, I am 43 yrs old, married for 22 years and a mother of two (ages 20 and 16). I’m an experienced early childhood educator and parent coach with over 20 years of experience supporting children and families in preschool, early intervention, school-based, and family-service settings. I hold a Master’s degree in Child and Adolescent Developmental Psychology and am passionate about creating nurturing, engaging, and developmentally appropriate experiences for children. My approach to caregiving is warm, patient, and play-based. I enjoy helping children learn through everyday activities, imaginative play, books, art, music, outdoor time, and age-appropriate routines. I understand the importance of supporting children’s social-emotional development, communication, independence, and confidence while also making sure they feel safe, understood, and cared for. I have experience working with children from early childhood through school-age years, including children with developmental delays. In my previous roles, I have collaborated with families, educators, counselors, social workers, and behavioral support professionals. I am comfortable using positive guidance, clear routines, visual supports and calming strategies tailored to each child’s individual needs. As a sitter, I value open communication with parents and will always respect your family’s routines, preferences, and parenting style. I can provide updates about your child’s activities, mood, meals, sleep, play, and any important moments during my time with them. I am also bilingual in English and Spanish and would be happy to support Spanish language exposure if that is meaningful for your family. I am looking for occasional nanny and babysitting opportunities where I can provide dependable, attentive, and compassionate care. Whether you need support for a date night, weekend plans, appointments, special events, or an occasional extra set of hands, I would love to help create a positive and comfortable experience for your child and peace of mind for you.

Whether it's daily walks, feeding, playtime or special-care routines. I am reliable, detail-oriented, and comfortable handling pets with different personalities, from energetic pups to shy or senior companions. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their furry friends are in carrying and attentive hands.

"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)."
