Paula $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! I’m a caring and reliable nanny with over 5 years of experience working with children of all ages. My background includes Behavior Therapy (ABA), nannying, and coaching kids’ soccer, so I love creating fun, engaging, and structured environments where children can learn and feel happy. I’m patient, energetic, and creative, and I truly enjoy building strong, trusting relationships with both kids and parents. I’m also organized, attentive, and happy to help with daily routines, activities, and light household support. I’m a big animal lover too, so pets are always welcome! My goal is to make your day easier while making sure your children feel safe, supported, and loved 🤍

Hi! I’m Marjorie🩵 I am super communicative with strong nature for children. I’ve mentored elementary kids in areas of math and reading comprehension for 4 years. Been a behavioral interventionist (ABA) and have worked with families on occasion through mutuals and this platform. My aim is to create a safe and fun space for the kid(s) with the time I’m there and tend to any needs. I’m punctual and good with routines whether it’s feeding or bedtime. I specially am well rounded with newborns to 10 years old olds. I’m the oldest of 4 and understand teenagers pretty well. Am open to have a chat or call to discuss anything further :)

“Marjorie took great care of our toddler. She interacts very well with kids. She has a great attitude and kept our son highly engaged, playing and learning for several hours. She is very professional and punctual. Frankly, I can't think of a single that she could have done better. ”

Hi! I am currently a 19 year old college student that lives locally and comes from a big energetic family :) Since I still am in school I have a passion to tutor younger kids and show how important school really is! I speak both English and Spanish. I love being able to work with kids! Growing up I always had too much energy and always wanted to do something creative. Since i'm an adult now it's not as frequent that I bring out that inner creativity and share the energy that I still have with those around me. On my free time I paint, go to the gym, visit coffee shops, and study! I am CPR certified and have previous experience with children from ages 3 years old to 15. Always welcome to meeting 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."

"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)."
