I have experience working with many families at different levels of need - full/part time, temporary and travel nanny as well as a back up care basis with Care.com. Although, i have 22 years of experience, I’m always learning. If you have any questions, please feel to reach out! I have a pitch-in attitude and able to multi-task with nanny services and household management duties including grocery and pantry inventory, mailing packages, assisting with children’s laundry, cooking nutritional meals and snacks for children with emphasis on healthy and organic food, keeping children's area neat and tidy, organizing the playroom and other areas of the house, planning outings and keeping a calendar of events and doctor’s appointments. Skilled in creating schedules and keeping on top of changes in children’s daily schedules activities, overseeing planning for holidays and birthdays, researching children’s activities, summer camps and events. I am tech savvy and proficient in Research Skills, Microsoft Office, Word, Excel, Power Point, Google Docs and Calendar. I love animals (dogs and cats) and would be very happy to walk your dog around the neighborhood hiking. I can help with pet care services whatever you need. I like being proactive and jumping in where needed to help the family's lives run smoothly. I follow strict social distancing protocol during COVID-19. Overall, I keep an open, transparent line of communication with families. I enjoy outdoor, educational activities and sensory play to stimulate physical, social, cognitive development as well as motor skills.

Andrea is wonderful - she is reliable, experienced, smart, and responsible. She took care of my kids for two VERY long days when I had to attend a work conference. She got them off screens and out of the house, and they really enjoyed her. She also fed my dogs dinner!

Hi! My name is Veronica. I am 30 years old and have a Bachelors Degree in Psychology with a minor in Spanish (fluently bilingual). I have been doing random babysitting gigs and short term nannying for about ten years now. I don’t have a specific or preferred age group as I have looked after newborns, teens and everything in between. I’m a mom of two amazing and beautiful toddlers ages 3 and 4. As a mother, I understand the importance of providing a safe and nurturing environment to every single kiddo regardless of age. I am also very hands on and will engage in any type of activity or play that meets any child’s needs. To add on, I also enjoy engaging in educational and just overall fun activities. I have plenty of experience working with neurodivergent children as well kiddos struggling with mental health! I’d love to connect and discuss potential opportunities so feel free to send me a message!

Veronica is awesome. She’s on time, keep us updated about their activities, and she’s a great communicator and engaged with our boy through out.

"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
