Christine is so warm and caring. I would hire her again in a heartbeat and I'm sure she will get snapped up by a full time family soon. She was punctual and immediately engaged with my very shy kids, who absolutely loved her. She played games with them and had them talking and laughing with her within five minutes of meeting them. Would highly recommend her! For reference, my kids are 9, 6 and 2 and she was fabulous interacting with all three ages.

Michell $28 per hour for 1 child

Professional Nanny Profile I am a nanny with over 3 years of experience in the United States, providing dedicated care to two children (currently 8 and 4 years old), having accompanied the youngest since she was 18 months old. My professional background covers both early childhood and school-age development, allowing me to effectively adapt to the unique needs of each stage. I hold a First Aid certification and also bring prior experience from my family’s childcare business in Colombia, where I gained a strong foundation in early education and child development. As a patient, caring, and creative individual, I particularly enjoy organizing outdoor activities and fostering a love for reading. Additionally, I am skilled in preparing balanced meals, including those tailored to special dietary needs such as vegan options. I am proud to have an outstanding reference from the family I currently work with, with whom I have built a long-term relationship based on trust and commitment. This experience reflects not only the quality of care I provide but also my dedication to becoming a supportive presence in children’s lives.

"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)."
