Katia $33 per hour for 1 child

Hello My name is Katia, and I would love the opportunity to support you and your children. I have experience teaching Spanish and math, as well as caring for children from 6-month-old babies to school-age kids. I genuinely enjoy creating a warm, fun, and structured environment where children feel safe, engaged, and encouraged to grow. My current position is ending in mid June, so I’m looking for a new full-time role. I am also a student and attend classes in the evenings, which allows me to be fully available during the day. I’m responsible, patient, and dependable, and I would be happy to share references from the families I’ve worked with. If you feel I might be a good fit for your family, I’d love to talk more about your needs and schedule. Please feel free to reach out anytime.

Hi! I'm Camila, a Brazilian nanny with over 4 years of experience caring for kids from 4 months old through the teenage years. I've worked as a nanny, au pair, and assistant teacher, and I love filling the day with hands-on play, arts & crafts, and outdoor activities that support each child's development. I'm playful, creative, communicative, proactive, and dependable. I'm warm with kids while adapting to each family's own style and way of doing things. I'm CPR & First Aid certified, hold a valid driver's license, and I'm comfortable with bottles, solids, doing the laundry, light housekeeping, and cooking. I'm available for both part-time and full-time work, occasional babysitting included, and I'm happy to provide references. Looking forward to connecting with your family!

"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)."
