Namina $25 per hour for 1 child

I am experienced in caring for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. I know how to feed infants, sterilize bottles, and always hold the baby after feeding. At the same time, I can take care of light household tasks, such as washing the baby’s clothes, transferring them to the dryer, and doing small cleanups like washing dishes. I am able to create a daily schedule for your child’s comfort, helping to establish a routine that also supports parents in the long term. I know many educational songs, play musical instruments, and teach children basic manners and etiquette. I can put children to sleep and gently help them transition toward independent sleep. I also know how to bathe and wash children. In addition, I can help at night when a child has colic or if parents need proper rest. I am available for additional hours with some advance notice and will always show up when needed. I am comfortable working long periods without days off, such as up to three weeks, both day and night. I strictly follow all rules and instructions provided and take my work very seriously.

Nathalie 2 reviews
$29 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I am a recent college graduate with a degree in Psychological Science and a minor in Legal Studies. I was raised between Laguna Beach and Romania and spent the past four years living in Rome, Italy, pursuing my education. I have been fortunate to travel extensively, which has given me a love for experiencing different cultures, trying new things, and bringing a little curiosity, culture, and adventure into everyday life. I am bilingual in Romanian and have a good understanding of Spanish and Italian. I have cared for children ranging from 1–11 years old and genuinely love being around kids. I am active, outdoorsy, very tidy, and love cooking healthy (but actually delicious!) meals. I’m also someone who prefers real-life play, creativity, and getting outside over screens. I would love to be someone your family feels comfortable and confident having around your little ones!

“Nathalie babysat my now 1-year-old, and we absolutely loved having her! She is so sweet, caring, and patient with kids, and you can tell she genuinely enjoys being around them. She was always attentive and made me feel completely comfortable leaving my baby. Nathalie is reliable, responsible, and just a really kind person. I would definitely recommend her to any family looking for a great babysitter!”

"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."

"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)."
