Hercy 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hello. My name is Hercy and I am an experienced nanny looking for my next family. I am also open to occasional babysitting jobs as well. I have worked with children of all ages, from infants to elementary school age. I have been a nanny for just one child and also done nanny shares with up to 3 babies at a time. I have experience caring for children with special needs and health issues, such as asthma. I truly love the children I take care of. I take the role of nanny very seriously. I am CPR trained and responsible. I can help to establish routines, potty train, and nap train. I prepare healthy food for babies and toddler, if needed, and also clean up any messes the children make. I love to play, sing, and take children on adventures. I have an open mind and am always willing to learn more. I hope I can hear from you soon.

Hercy is a wonderful nanny and has been a blessing to my family. She took care of my son from age 1.5 to age 3. She also cared for my daughter during this time, who is currently 8 years old. Hercy has treated my children like her own and truly loves them. She offered nurturing and stimulating care, with lots of educational outings and opportunities to socialize. She created a routine for my son, cooked nutritious food for both of my children, helped keep the house tidy, and even fed and walked my dog when needed. I especially like that she gave my kids her full attention, with lots of games, songs, and books in both English and Spanish, and did not spend time on her phone when she was with them. Hercy also went out of her way to celebrate holidays, bring over new toys, and even planned birthday parties for my son. I didn't expect any of this, it is just the type of loving care that she provides. If you are looking for a caregiver who truly loves children, is very experienced, and has an impressive work ethic, I encourage you to contact Hercy.

Ashley $22 per hour for 1 child

I have 17 years of experience as an educator and almost 5 years as a career nanny. I have worked with children of different ages from infancy to school age. As an early childhood educator, I love how creative and curious the children are; their minds are like sponges ready to learn new things. I also had the opportunity to work as an after school teacher. It was a rewarding experience to help the students excel academically.

Kamerin $27 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Kam 😊 I’m a caring, dependable, and patient caregiver with 3–5 years of experience caring for children, seniors, and pets. I love being someone families can feel comfortable and confident leaving their loved ones with. I’m great with keeping kids engaged, happy, and entertained while also making sure their routines and needs are taken care of. I’m comfortable with meals, playtime, reading, creative activities, tidying up, bedtime routines, and helping keep things running smoothly. I’m also comfortable caring for pets and providing companionship and support to seniors. I’m naturally attentive, responsible, and easygoing, but I also understand the importance of structure, safety, and following each family’s specific routines and preferences. I’ll always communicate clearly and treat your home and loved ones with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and be someone you can count on! 💛

Nora is an amazing nanny. She has been taking care of our two-year-old son several times when he was sick, and she was absolutely wonderful. Nora is incredibly attentive, thoughtful, and treats our son like her own grandchild. We love that she is always fully present and never on her phone. Instead, she is constantly engaging with him—singing, playing, and making sure he gets to play outside, which he absolutely enjoys. We trust her completely and highly recommend her!

Hezel 1 review
$35 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! I’m a dedicated nanny with 15 years of childcare experience and a genuine love for being around children of all ages. I bring a ton of positive energy and thrive at keeping kids engaged, whether that’s through play, learning activities, or creative exploration. I believe every child deserves patience, encouragement, and fun while they grow—and I excel at balancing both nurturing care and educational support. I’m passionate about creating a safe, happy, and enriching environment. Please note that English is my second language. I communicate very well via text/google translate but I mainly speak Spanish. If you’re looking for a nanny who is reliable, experienced, and loves what she does, I’d love to connect and support your family!

It is with great pleasure and my highest recommendation that I write this letter for Hezel. Hezel has been our family's full-time nanny for the past 1.5 years. She began caring for our son when he was nine months old, and her impact on our family has been truly incredible. Hezel’s skills as a caregiver are exceptional. She joined us during a nanny-share with our neighbors, where she expertly cared for both our son and their child simultaneously—skillfully managing the complex needs of two boys under the age of one. Beyond her primary responsibilities, Hezel consistently went above and beyond to help our household run smoothly, often taking the initiative to wash dishes and fold laundry. Her proactive nature and strong work ethic are second to none. As a unique bonus, her past experience as a hairdresser was a wonderful perk, as she has given our son all his haircuts! What truly sets Hezel apart is the genuine warmth and love she shows for the children in her care. She is a patient, engaging, and deeply loving caregiver. The bond she built with our son is a testament to her character; he adores her, often asks for her on her days off, and is always happiest when playing with her. We have always had complete peace of mind knowing he was not just safe and cared for, but also genuinely happy and thriving under her watch. Hezel is, in the truest sense of the word, a "super nanny." She is reliable, skilled, and brings wonderful energy to her work. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

"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)."
