Estefania $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello there: My name is Estefania, and my background is rooted in service, responsibility, and care for others. Professionally, I have worked as a Legal Secretary supporting attorneys in complex litigation, a role that requires exceptional organization, discretion, reliability, and attention to detail. These same qualities translate naturally into caregiving, where patience, structure, and compassion are essential. In addition to my professional career, I provide private advanced Spanish tutoring, working with students who want to strengthen their language skills, improve academic performance, or develop conversational fluency. Through this work, I help students with homework, structured learning plans, reading comprehension, test prep, and confidence building. My tutoring experience allows me to support children academically while also creating a positive and encouraging learning environment. I have experience assisting families with childcare responsibilities such as supervising routines, helping with homework, preparing meals, tutoring, and maintaining a safe and nurturing environment. My tutoring background allows me to integrate educational support naturally into caregiving, especially for families who value bilingual learning or academic structure. I also enjoy supporting seniors through companionship, organization, errands, appointment coordination, and helping maintain a comfortable and well-run home. I believe that patience, kindness, and attentive listening are essential when caring for others, particularly seniors who value respect, conversation, and dependable support. In addition, I am very comfortable caring for pets and assisting with household responsibilities. I regularly help with tasks such as organizing spaces, grocery shopping, meal preparation, light housekeeping, pet care, scheduling, and running errands. I take pride in creating calm, organized environments where families can focus on what matters most. People often describe me as dependable, warm, attentive, and proactive. I naturally notice what needs to be done and take initiative to help without needing to be asked. I am also highly trustworthy and respectful of the homes and families I support. My personality combines professionalism with genuine kindness. I enjoy building positive relationships with the people I care for and bringing a sense of calm, structure, and encouragement to their daily lives. Thank you so much. ♥️

Georgina $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Georgina, and I’m offering childcare services. I’m a graphic designer, so I can do creative activities with the kids, help them with their homework, play with them, take them to their classes, or do whatever else is needed. Since I was 10, I’ve been babysitting my two cousins since they were born. Every Friday we’d have “Grandma Friday,” playing or watching movies with snacks until they eventually grew up (I’m 32 now). My aunt recommended me to her friends, and I occasionally looked after her friends’ children as well. I am responsible, empathetic, patient, and above all, a huge fan of kids! My priority will be their safety and your peace of mind. I am available full-time during the week and, if needed, occasionally on weekends as well :)

"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)."
