Hi, my name is Maria Lopez. I’m 27 years old and I have several years of experience caring for children and assisting older adults. I’m a responsible, patient, and trustworthy person who truly enjoys helping others and creating a safe, warm environment. I recently obtained my nursing license and I’m currently in the process of transferring it to the state of California. During this time, I’m looking for a flexible nanny or caregiver position that allows me to continue with my student schedule, while supporting a family with dedication, respect, and professionalism. I would love the opportunity to become a reliable and caring part of your household.

Maria came as a last-minute substitute for our sitter share and knocked it out of the park. The timing wasn’t perfect for her schedule but she still offered to come and cover for our sitter, which meant a lot to me to not have to call out of work. She got a lot of info thrown at her right when she arrived and I had to run straight to meetings, and she just ran with all of it — followed their schedule, consistently led toilet learning, kept both kids happy with playtime options, and at pickup both were happy toddlers. Would definitely re-book, would love to have her over again!

Hi families! I have extensive experience caring for children back in my hometown, and here in the U.S. I worked as an Au Pair for two wonderful families. With one family, I cared for two little ones under the age of 2, and with another, I looked after three energetic boys ages 3, 5, and 7. These experiences gave me strong skills in supporting different age groups, managing routines, and keeping kids engaged and happy. I truly enjoy spending time with children, helping them learn, explore, and have fun in a safe environment.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
