When we understand the function of these models, children can evolve through conscious evolution. It is enriching to teach important life skill practices to children. In addition, my connection with children come in a form of lovingness, friendliness, playfulness, creativity, and ensuring that I provide a safe environment where they can blossom, find their authentic self to freely express who they are and most importantly, that they trust me. With this wealth at hand, a healthy relationship is born.

Hi Families! ❤️ Available full-time nanny. Loving nanny and childhood education teacher with 10+ years of experience caring for children from newborns to school-age, including twins. I’m currently available and looking for a new family to work with. I’m excited to find a wonderful family where I can share my love, care, and experience. I have a little flexibility on Wednesdays because of an afternoon class. I’m from Colombia and truly enjoy spending time with kids. I’m passionate, patient, and hold a childhood education degree. I have extensive experience in childhood behavior and development, which allows me to provide professional and nurturing care. I’ve cared for children of various ages and family dynamics, including twins, toddlers, and babies. I also taught Spanish in a Spanish immersion program, which I really enjoyed. Most recently, I’ve been caring for a baby since he was just 2 days old, along with his 5- and 7-year-old siblings. My responsibilities have included caring for the baby, helping with his older siblings, driving them to school and activities, and being part of their daily routine and family life. I’m reliable, flexible, and happy to help, whether you need full-time care, an extra hand, or date-night support. I would love to find a new family where I can help, support, and give lots of love and care to their kids. I have great references who’d love to talk to you. If you want to know more, I’d be more than happy to share details!

“Reliable, mature, and very capable!”

Hi, I’m Cristina! I have over six years of experience caring for children from 10 months to 14 years old. I love babysitting because I enjoy doing fun projects with kids and taking them to the park. My interest in childcare really grew from helping take care of my little cousin with Down syndrome, which taught me a lot about patience and how rewarding it is to care for children. A little about me: I love reading, spending time with family and friends, and learning new things. I also have a dog that I love taking to the beach! I’m open to traveling with families as well. Thanks so much for taking the time to read a little about me!

"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)."
