Joanna 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

I have worked with infants up until middle school. I specialize in developmentally appropriate education based play supporting individual needs and milestones. Nurturing children and watching them learn brings me immense joy. My passion for fostering growth, combined with 10 years of childhood care in home and in schools gives me a versatile background. I am patient, creative, and kind. I am genuinely empathetic and will treat your child as my own. I have a positive and upbeat demeanor. I enjoy playing outdoor games, board games, puzzles, and educational activities. I am comfortable caring for up to three children of all ages, including infants and toddlers. I hold a graduate degree and have current certifications in CPR and First Aid. I have a car and am comfortable with pets. I hope to bring my enthusiasm and experience to your family.

“Joanna cared for our 9mo full time for 3 months. She was amazing. This was our first time using a nanny and were nervous about trusting someone off of a website, but Joanna immediately eased our minds. She is so loving and motherly, and truly became part of our family during our time working together. There was nothing that phased her and was willing to go out and about with my daughter to expose her to a variety of experiences like going to the zoo and museums. I highly recommend Joanna for care of your loved one.”

I am a responsible, caring, and experienced babysitter with a background in caring for children from newborns to 12 years old. I am originally from Colombia, and Spanish is my first language. I am also fluent in English, which allows me to communicate easily with bilingual families. I am CPR and AED certified, so I am prepared to respond calmly and effectively in emergency situations. I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for children while supporting their development at every stage. I also love dancing, painting, and cooking, and I enjoy incorporating creative and engaging activities into my time with children.

Priscilla $27 per hour for 1 child

Hi I’m Priscilla, I’m new to urban sitter. I have 5 years of baby sitting/nanny experience. I have been with one family for those 5 years and am now looking for more experience. Prior, I have always been around kids. Thanks to my family I’ve had the experience of watching my loved ones grow up from babies to teens, taking care and spending time with them. I am an auntie of two boys, no older than two years old that I care for often. I love to bring good energy, I’m calm, attentive, patient, and organized. I’m willing to communicate, engage, and overall create a safe space for the kids and family involved. I have safe and reliable transportation. I love pets and do well with them as long as they do not have aggressive tendencies. If I seem like a right fit I would love to hear back and connect!

Carolina $20 per hour for 1 child

I am a college student currently working toward my CNA certification and I am CPR and BLS certified. I have experience working with children, including kids with special needs, and I truly love creating a safe, supportive, and fun environment for them. My goal as I continue in nursing is to work with infants, but I am happy caring for children of all ages. I enjoy helping with homework, doing art and creative activities, and even baking with kids if parents are comfortable with that. With toddlers, I like to introduce simple ASL signs to help them communicate their needs and feelings more easily. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive, and I always focus on making children feel safe, heard, and cared for. I am also comfortable caring for pets as long as they are not aggressive, and I’m open to helping with house sitting and light household tasks when needed.

"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)."
