Brenda Sofía $27 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Brenda and I’m currently a psychology student, focusing on child growth and development. I offer childcare, occasional baby care, and household support when needed. I love being a nanny and have been caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, and children up to 9 years old for 6+ years. My responsibilities have included school pick-ups, tutoring, creative activities, meal prep, bedtime routines, outdoor play, and supporting kids’ emotional well-being. Families describe me as responsible, reliable, loving, and attentive. I’m great at creating safe, nurturing environments where children feel supported, heard, and comfortable. I’ve worked 3.5+ years with families in the area and I also cared for my younger brother since birth. I can cook, organize, run errands, and help keep the home running smoothly. I’m comfortable with pets and love working with families who have dogs or other animals.

Danielle $50 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Danielle, a professional nanny with over 13 years of experience caring for children from 3 months through the early school years. I take a Montessori-inspired approach, which for me means following a child's curiosity, building steady routines, and getting outside as much as possible. I love the everyday things: sensory play, messy art, reading the same book fourteen times in a row. I'm CPR and Pediatric First Aid certified, TrustLine registered, and I hold a B.S. in Psychology. I'm looking for a long-term family where I can be a consistent, warm presence in your children's lives. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, studying languages, reading, and writing fiction.

Olivia $32 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Olivia, and I’m currently looking to fill my morning availability from 6:00 AM to 8:00 AM, with a little flexibility until 8:30 AM if needed. I’m also available for evening shifts from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM. If your family needs help with early mornings, evenings, or simply a reliable caregiver before or after work, I’d love to help! I’m passionate about creating a calm, safe, and positive start to each child’s day. I believe every child is unique and deserves care that fits their individual personality and needs. Whether it’s helping with morning routines, preparing breakfast, reading books, or keeping little ones engaged before school or daycare, I strive to make mornings as smooth and stress-free as possible for both children and parents. I value open communication, reliability, and building trusting relationships with families. My goal is to provide dependable care while creating a warm, supportive environment where your child feels comfortable, confident, and ready for the day ahead.

"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)."
