Julieth $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Julieth, and I’m originally from Colombia.I’m looking for a full-time nanny position. I am a caring, patient, responsible, and energetic nanny who genuinely loves helping children learn, grow, and feel safe. I have over Four years of experience caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. Throughout my experience, I have supported families by creating nurturing routines, encouraging learning through play, and providing a loving environment where children can thrive. My responsibilities have included bottle feeding, preparing healthy meals and snacks, diaper changes, potty training, nap routines, school pick-ups and drop-offs, arts and crafts, reading, outdoor adventures, story times, parks, libraries, and age-appropriate educational activities. I enjoy helping children explore the world while making every day fun and engaging. Communication is very important to me. I believe every family is unique, so I always follow parents’ routines, parenting style, and expectations while keeping open, respectful, and honest communication. I have my own reliable transportation, I’m comfortable driving children, and I’m available for occasional babysitting on evenings and weekends as well. I would love the opportunity to become a trusted part of your family and provide your little ones with a safe, loving, and enriching environment. I look forward to meeting you!

Natasha $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Natasha, I’m 30 years old, recently married, and I speak fluent English and Portuguese (my native language). I’m a caring, responsible, and loving person who truly enjoys being around children. I’m also a follower of Jesus Christ, and my values are very important to me—I go to church every Sunday and try to bring kindness and patience into everything I do. I have 1 year of hands-on experience taking care of two siblings (a 2-year-old girl and a 4-year-old boy). I helped with their daily routine, including: • Preparing breakfast • Dropping them off and picking them up from preschool • Taking them to the park on their days off • Keeping them engaged and happy throughout the day I love creating fun moments with kids—whether it’s dancing together (they LOVE “chicken banana” 😂) or watching their favorite movies (yes… Elsa on repeat!). I build strong, loving connections with children, and they usually feel very comfortable and happy around me. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, patient, and genuinely passionate about childcare, I would love to connect with you. Send me a message and let’s talk 🤍

Arianna $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Arianna and I have experience babysitting children (primarily in the toddler phase) since I am an older sister to a current toddler! I love animals and have no issues with large dog breeds, cats, reptiles, and other pets alike. I have pet-sit both dogs and cats. Some of my technical work experience does include working lab settings so I am very familiar with attention to detail and maintaining high standards of service and execution. I’ve also worked a lot of customer service and food service jobs — positions that have both allowed me to navigate pressurized situations with ease. I am excellent selection for a sitter because I have a lot of experience in multiple fields of work and I have a work-ethic driven personality.

"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)."
