Hello families! My name is Alejandra, I’m 29 years old, and I’m a bilingual (English & Spanish) nanny with over 8 years of experience caring for children of all ages, including infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Dance and spent several years teaching classical dance to young children, starting at just 1 year old. Working with kids has always been my passion, and I truly love creating a fun, loving, and safe environment where they can learn, play, and feel happy. I’m patient, responsible, reliable, and full of positive energy. I enjoy creating engaging activities through play, music, movement, arts and crafts, and outdoor adventures. I always strive to make every child feel cared for, supported, and comfortable while helping them learn and grow. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and be someone you can trust and rely on! ❤️

Over the past 7 years, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for children ranging in age from 4 months to 15 years old, supporting families with a variety of routines, developmental stages, and needs. I’m a very caring, patient, and nurturing person, and I take great pride in being responsible and reliable. I aim to create a safe, positive, and engaging environment for the children in my care. I love spending time outdoors, doing arts and crafts, and playing games that support creativity and development. Here’s a little more about me: - 7 years of professional nanny experience - CPR certified - Experienced with ages 4 months to 15 years - Native Portuguese speaker, advanced English, and learning Spanish (basic/intermediate level) - COVID-conscious & fully vaccinated - Non-smoker - Pet friendly I’d be happy to support your family and contribute to your children’s growth and happiness. Looking forward to connecting with you!

Marcia is exceptionally reliable and smart person. She does her job with love and treat the kids very well. She has a passion for childcare, and I could see how much she enjoyed looking after her nanny kids. I became friends with her because she is trustworthy and, honestly, a good person to have around daily. You can consider yourself very lucky if you are able to have her taking care of your kids because I know how much difference she can make in a child's life.

Keianna 1 review
$35 per hour for 1 child

With experience spanning newborns to high schoolers, I bring a depth of care that’s rare to find in one caregiver. My background includes both public schools and Montessori-inspired private school,where I’ve learned to meet every child exactly where they are — nurturing independence, curiosity, and confidence along the way. I’ve had the privilege of supporting families in all kinds of seasons: working alongside night nurses during those tender early months, providing thoughtful care for children with disabilities and learning differences, and showing up as a steady, trusted presence for the whole family. Whether you need a helping hand at bedtime, after-school support, or something in between, I’m here for it.

I cannot recommend Keianna enough! She has watched both my daughter and son multiple times, and my kids absolutely adore her. From the very beginning, she made them feel comfortable, safe, and excited to spend time with her. She is incredibly patient, trustworthy, dependable, and genuinely fun with kids. When I gave birth to my son, she stayed overnight with my daughter for two nights, and I honestly could not have asked for someone better to care for her during such an important time for our family. Knowing my daughter was safe, happy, and comfortable with someone she loves gave me so much peace of mind. She keeps the kids engaged, plays with them, and treats them with so much kindness and attention. My kids are always excited to see her, which says everything. I trust her completely and would recommend her to any family looking for an amazing babysitter.

"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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"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)."
