My name is Claudia and I am 36 years old. I was born and raised in Colombia.While I was in Colombia free I took care of my little cousins in my free time. I would bathe them, feed them and played with them. Some weekends after school, I took care of my neighbors kids while they were at work. I would help on their homework, and also on school projects. We would do little arts and crafts activities once a week. I have experience with twins, triplets. I am currently taking care of 2 years old twins during the week, until middle on November. I'm looking for something full time over the week for starting the next month and weekends.I'm available .I can offer Spanish lessons to the children without any hassle. I am a responsible,honest, friendly, patient, and organized person who likes to help around.

Hi, I’m Antonia. I have worked as a nanny for 17+ years and am a mother of three boys, ages 14, 5, and 10 months. I am currently looking for a new family to work with, ideally caring for a child between 0–3 years old alongside my youngest son. I truly enjoy working with children and becoming a supportive part of a family’s daily life. I am experienced in helping children through developmental and behavioral milestones, including sleep and nap routines, eating habits, sharing and taking turns, potty training, and preparing for preschool. I love spending time outdoors with kids and enjoy taking them to parks, playgrounds, and the library for play, learning, and socialization. I speak three languages: English, Spanish, and Mam (a Guatemalan language). Over the years, I have worked with more than 10 families, and I still stay in contact with nearly all of them. References are available upon request. I am also open to a nanny share and flexible on rates and hours, as long as the overall arrangement meets my family’s needs. In addition, I have participated in my own nanny shares with each of my three boys when they were infants, and I can provide references from the families I worked with during those arrangements. I am available to start anytime.

Antonia was incredible! She was quick to respond to my request for a last minute job and arrived promptly despite the early start time and roughly an hour of notice. She was warm and kind and had my stranger anxious baby smiling in no time! I am so happy to have found Antonia!

I have about two years of experience caring for families outside and within urban sitter with CPR certification and a clean driving record. I have experience working at a day center and as a teachers assistant with special needs children. I’ve developed strong childcare expertise with managing routines, engaging with children through educational and playful activities. Alongside my work in childcare, I am pursuing a college degree in psych, focusing on child development. However, i am currently taking a gap year. I am also a highly responsible, consistent, nurturing, and supportive individual who takes pride in being apart of children’s lives!

Nat was absolutely amazing, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment she arrived, she was warm, professional, and incredibly attentive. She took the time to understand all of our instructions and followed them carefully, which immediately gave us peace of mind. She was also wonderful with our dog, Brody. Nat was so patient, gentle, and caring with him that he quickly became comfortable in her presence. Most importantly, she was fantastic with our son. Toddlers can definitely have their moments, and our son had a few emotional outbursts while we were away. Nat handled each one with incredible patience, kindness, and compassion. She never seemed flustered and approached every situation with a calm, nurturing attitude that made us feel completely confident he was in great hands. It’s not easy finding someone who is both dependable and genuinely caring, but Nat exceeded all of our expectations. We truly appreciated her attentiveness, communication, and the level of care she provided to our entire family. We will absolutely be using Nat again in the future and are looking forward to having her back. We highly recommend her to any family looking for someone who is trustworthy, patient, compassionate, and exceptional with children and pets.

Hi my name is Olue and i am an amazing mother of 2 boys who are 8 and 12yrs. I am a college graduate. I enjoy working with children and have been watching kids for over 10yrs. I am experienced in Nanny shares and 1 child care also. My responsibilities are to make sure that i work as a team with parents, feeding, teaching, nurturing, Loving and creating a safe space for a child but most importantly being gentle. Fully vaccinated including Tdap. I honestly am a great nanny who doesn’t mind helping around the house so parents can come home and spend time with their child. If you don’t mind Some home cooked meals occasionally then i am your nanny. I am a 100% ok with families who have pets.

Olue was simply amazing. She has a warm, calm presence that both of my boys responded to immediately. My two-year-old is very attached to me, and while he needed a few minutes to warm up, he quickly felt comfortable and connected with Olue — which says so much about her natural ability with children. She was engaging and attentive, met my son exactly where he was, and followed his lead based on his interests and energy level. I felt completely at ease leaving him in her care and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for someone trustworthy, nurturing, and genuinely wonderful with kids.

Hello UrbanSitter families! My name is Gianella and I am a college student at my local university. Some of my hobbies include cooking and organizing. I offer child care, pet care, and household services. I have been watching toddlers, and kids for 6 years now. I have experience in working with twins and have watched more than one child at a time- all of varied ages. Some of my responsibilities have included driving to/from school, tutoring, cooking, and bedtime routines. I am a big animal lover! Currently, I have 5 dogs and 2 cats, of all breeds and sizes. I would love to care after your four-legged friends as well.

Gianella has watched our puppy multiple times over the last two years. She is such a responsible pet sitter. She is always on time, follows all of our directions for our dog’s needs, and we know he is always loved and cared for under her watch. We would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter for their pets!

"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)."
