Mayara $40 per hour for 1 child

I have several years of experience working with children in different roles and age groups. I worked as an au pair for over two years in the United States and also have experience as a nanny and teacher. I earned my Early Childhood Education Associate Teacher Certificate, which strengthened my knowledge of child development and age-appropriate learning and care. I also have experience working with children with special needs and understand the importance of patience, flexibility, and adapting my approach to each child’s individual needs. My teaching background has helped me create engaging activities that encourage learning, independence, creativity, and confidence. I truly enjoy working with children and building strong, trusting relationships with both them and their families. My goal is always to provide a safe, caring, positive, and fun environment where children feel supported and valued.

Nathalia 2 reviews
$26 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Nathalia! I've been caring for kids since I was young — babysitting toddlers through school-age children for family and family friends for as long as I can remember. I also spent about a year and a half as a preschool aide working with children ages 2–4, supporting early learning in a structured classroom setting. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Psychology, which gives me a helpful lens for understanding how kids think, communicate, and grow. Beyond childcare, I'm also comfortable with well-trained pets and happy to help with furry family members too! What I love most about caregiving is building genuine connections — kids have such curious, energetic minds, and I find so much joy in being a trusted, nurturing presence for them.

We’ve used Nathalia several times, for years, and for both my kids and she’s exceptional! Nathalia is reliable, professional, and truly loved by my kids. She’s patient, creative, and consistently follows our dietary needs and preferred activities with care. Always on time, always kind, always dependable. A genuinely outstanding person. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter that you can feel comfortable leaving your kids with, knowing they will be perfectly cared for.

"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)."
