Hi! My name is Alexandra and I have worked in child care and with kids for over 4 years! I have worked at a preschool for over 3 years and worked as a nanny over the summer! I have worked on numerous educational activities with kids throughout my years at preschool, as well as games and fun activities. I am fun, engaging, patient, and skilled in connecting with kids. In addition to this, I am great with pets. I consider myself to be outgoing, friendly, social, and very caring. I truly love working with kids and would love to help you and your families out!

Shirin $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Shirin. I’m a warm, patient, and reliable caregiver with hands-on experience working with children of all ages. I spent nearly a year as a full-time nanny for two boys (ages 7 and 12), managing their daily routines, preparing meals, and planning fun educational activities that kept them engaged and growing. Before that, I spent over three years as an English teacher for young children (ages 4–7) at a kindergarten, where I created lesson plans, built nurturing classroom environments, and helped little ones develop a love of learning. I also volunteered abroad teaching Math and English to children aged 5–7 through an international program. Beyond childcare, I bring strong organizational skills, a calm and positive attitude, and genuine care for the families I work with. I’m fluent in English and Russian, which can be a bonus in multilingual households. I’m responsible, punctual, and truly enjoy being a supportive presence in children’s lives. I’d love to meet your family and learn how I can help! 😊

"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)."
