Valeria $32 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Valeria, and I am currently looking for a new position because the children I have cared for over the past three years — one of them since birth — are now attending school full-time. I continue to support the family a few days a week by helping with children’s laundry and cooking until I find a new full-time role. I offer babysitting, nanny, elder care, and light housekeeping services. I truly love being a nanny and have experience caring for newborns, babies, toddlers, and older children since I was 15 years old. My responsibilities have included dropping off and picking up children from school, doing crafts, helping with homework, and taking children to extracurricular activities such as dance classes. I also work as a domestic assistant and am comfortable with cooking, cleaning, and grocery shopping. In the United States, I have worked as a nanny, cleaner, delivery driver, and Lyft driver. In Brazil, I worked as a nursing technician, caring for elderly patients and children, and assisting with procedures and minor surgeries. I am comfortable with pets and happy to work with families who have them.

Kimberly $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Kimberly! I'm an 18 year old college student currently studying to become a nurse! A little about me: I love painting, being in nature, listening to music, and taking walks in the park. I’ve been babysitting for years it all began when I was 12, caring for my younger cousins and taking them to soccer practice. Through that, I met other families who needed help, which gave me the opportunity to work with many wonderful kids! I also have experience with older children, especially during high school when I worked as a teacher’s assistant. Babysitting is something I genuinely enjoy because I love watching kids grow and develop into their own little selves. It’s a joy to be part of that journey, and I hope to continue making a positive impact in the lives of the families I work with! I currently work at Starbucks, but I'm looking for a full-time babysitting position that allows me to prioritize school once it starts on January 12. Right now, my availability is wide open after 12 PM (I work 3:30 AM – 12 PM), but I’m willing to leave my current job if I find the right full-time opportunity. Starting in January, my availability will change to part-time to accommodate my school schedule. If you're interested or would like to know more, feel free to reach out! Thank you, and have a wonderful day!

"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)."
