Hi! ❤️ My name is Mette, and I’m a recent graduate from USF with a degree in Nursing. I’ve always loved working with children! I’ve been babysitting throughout my time in the city and have had the joy of getting to know some amazing kids and families. I’m comfortable working with children of all ages and have over 10 years of experience as a math and reading tutor as well. I love to read, do art, and explore parks! My long-term goal is to become a pediatric nurse, but in the meantime, I’d love to connect with more families in the area and support you however I can!

My name is Arrie and I just moved to the city to work for GAP, Inc! I have always loved working with kids of all ages, and I am looking to continue this work through my full time position. I don’t start until November, so I have lots of flexibility! I started working with kids as a gymnastic coach for ages 3-13. Additionally, I worked as a full time nanny for kids ages 3, 6, and 8. I am super active and excited to get to know you and your families!

Can someone say BABY WHISPERER?!?! Our toddler (she's around the one year old mark) is spirited and spunky and all kinds of sweet rolled into one and Arrie is able to swoop on in and connect wholeheartedly. She takes her for walks, notices things that our toddler gravitates towards, has helped with meal times and bath time and is INCREDIBLE at story-time and play-time. She's also the only person (not even mum and dad) to have ever got our toddler to sleep downstairs in her play area - and we're still trying to figure out her top secret formula! We're going to miss her when she starts her new full-time role soon but hope she'll pop in for date-night or weekend care in future because she's a whole vibe and our toddler thinks so, too :)

Working with little ones is truly my passion, and over the past five years, I have had the wonderful privilege of helping infants and toddlers reach their most exciting developmental milestones. Whether it is gently guiding a baby from crawling to their very first steps or helping a toddler find their words through bilingual Spanish immersion, I love being a steady, nurturing presence in a child's life. I recently channeled my love for learning into completing my Master's degree in Creative Writing , a journey that has only deepened my dedication to providing thoughtful, high-quality care and sparked my imagination for storytelling with children. To me, caregiving is about more than just managing a schedule; it is about building a bond of trust and creating a joyful environment where children feel safe to explore and grow. When I am not with my "work family," I find so much light in the simple things in life, and I bring that same warmth and positivity into every home I enter. I also understand that pets are a beloved part of the family, and I am very happy to work in homes with furry friends. As a pet owner myself, I am completely comfortable managing daily routines while surrounded by cats or dogs, ensuring that the entire household feels balanced and happy. If you feel that my background and professional skills are a great match for your needs, I would be more than happy to share the wonderful references I have from the previous families I have supported over the years. I look forward to the possibility of helping your family thrive!

Natalia was prompt, capable, communicative, and (most importantly) very sweet with my 6.5 month old all afternoon! Will book again :)

"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
