Hello, I am Yasemin. I am 30 years old. I am from Turkey and I am Chemical Engineer. I was an au pair for 2 years and still taking care of kids. I had experiences with toddlers and infants for 2 years. I took care of 4 years old boy, 5 years old girls, and older kids. I love to spend time outside, to go walking, do puzzle, do art&crafts, dance. I have references if you want to talk. I am energetic and happy person , like to talk.

“Yasemin currently works with me helping to take care of, well, just about everything. She is reliable, thorough, able to multitask, professional, and brings an upbeat positive "can do" energy. She is a self starter and often one step ahead of me! The responsibilities with us include driving my pre-teen kids to and from various activities, scheduling their appointments, grocery shopping, preparing dinner, laundry, dropping off/picking up dry cleaning, keeping the kitchen clean, and more. Yasemin is excellent at her work...I could go on and on as she has been a great fit for me and my family!”

Malia $28 per hour for 1 child

Hello everybody! My name is Malia and I graduated with a degree in Family and Consumer Sciences in 2018. I worked at an infant/toddler daycare for a year and a half prior to the daycare closing due to the COVID 19 pandemic. I was then a nanny for 5 1/2 years for the same family who eventually ended up having 3 children during that time period so I have experience watching multiple children from both of those jobs. I took some time off work because I had my own child who is currently 9 months old and I’ve been searching for work, ideally with a family who wouldn’t mind me bringing my daughter seeing as I’m her only source of care at this moment. Along with working with children, I also have experience working with older individuals as well as those who use mobility aids due to my time caring for my father after his stroke where he transitioned from using a wheelchair to now being able to use a walker.

Cristina $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I'm Maracuya! I have been working with kiddos and youth for about a decade now in community, school, and casual settings. My work as an educator in public school has primarily been with elementary aged youth working with all kinds of kids which has really allowed me to learn just how unique and expansive every kiddo is and how to adapt to their changing needs. I deeply value children's autonomy, joy, and essence! I enjoy working with kiddos from a frame work of play and exploration. While these kiddos are in my care it is my mission to continue sharing in the beauty that is this world and offer ease on your minds and hearts while you're tending to what you need to do :) Excited to connect!

"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)."
