Hi! My name is Caroline, I’m from Brazil and I have a lot of experience with kids from babies to teens, also I have experience taking care of multiple kids at the same time and house management/cooking. I usually like to teach them about different subjects because I love arts and crafts in general, science, sports like Brazilian jiu-jitsu, expose them to my and other cultures, cook healthy meals and teach them responsibilities and how to manage their feelings in different ages and other life skills. In my free time I like to practice martial arts, play games, meet my friends, go to the movie theater or the karaoke, go visit new places places and explore the nature around California! ☺️ Please don’t hesitate to hit me up if you would like to know more about me. I can’t wait to hear about your family! 😊 References upon request :)

Carol was punctual and our girls enjoyed their time with her. I’d happily use her again.

I'd describe myself as calm, I'm patient, and self less. I enjoy taking care of children, because kids are fun, they always have something funny or "out of the blue" to say, they carefree and just enjoy life. There's always something one can learn from a child, they are the best humans to take care of and even spend time with. I am looking for a healthy environment as a working space. Where communication can flow easily, critics are well understood. And clear expectations from both family and myself I started working with kids when I was a teenager, I have 10year experience. I was an au pair for the past year. In my spare time, I either watch television or read a book. I take pride in all the kids I watch because at the it is a reflection of me too. And I am currently taking a Montessori course, to improve my childcare skills My patience for kids is my number one and best skill. I very attentive and always at the top of my feet. The child is the biggest priority

Charlene is a wonderful sitter/nanny! She arrives promptly. She does an amazing job with our little one. We’re so blessed to receive her childcare services!

Hi! When I came to this country, I always dreamt of working with kids, but I found whatever job I could. I am now at a point where I can do what I love. I have three grandchildren (ages 11, 9 & 8) and I was their primary care taker since they were born, while working my other job. I can’t explain how much I’ve enjoyed it. I am not the best with technology & sometimes my English isn’t as quick (it’s at a 75%), but I use all my resources & can figure it all out. I take my job seriously and am very cautious & devoted to it. If given cthe opportunity, you won’t regret it. And I love pet too…I work with a family in the mornings (7:00-10:00)

Hi there! I'm Amal, and I absolutely love spending time with kids. There's something truly rewarding about helping them learn, grow, and have fun in a safe, caring environment. Whether it's playing games, assisting with homework, or simply being a good companion, I strive to create a positive, supportive atmosphere where kids feel comfortable and valued. I have 25 years of babysitting experience, having worked with children of various ages from infants to pre-teens. Over the years, I’ve gained valuable skills in managing routines, keeping kids entertained, and handling any unexpected situations that may arise. I am also experienced in meal preparation, light housekeeping, and ensuring kids stick to their schedules. I also have a background in child development, so I’m able to adapt my approach to suit each child’s needs, ensuring they feel supported and engaged. I’m a responsible, patient, and reliable sitter who believes in providing both fun and structure. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your family to discuss how I can help. I’m allergic to dogs but happy to work with family with cats. I have been a caretaker for my own parents and I am comfortable with senior care. Can drive to appointments,shopping and cook for them. Looking forward to hearing from you!

"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
