I have 5 years of experience as both a live-in and live-out nanny. Families describe me as warm, reliable, caring, and responsible. I have experience with infants, toddlers, and older children, including school pickups, activities, potty training, bedtime routines, and creating fun, engaging activities. I have my own car and a clean driving record. I also enjoy helping families keep their homes organized and running smoothly by assisting with organizing, laundry, dishes, vacuuming, light and deep cleaning, and creating clean, cozy spaces. I’m very organized, proactive, and love creating a calm and happy environment for both children and parents. All my nanny positions have been long-term, and I truly value the strong relationships and trust I build with families. Key skills: Patience, responsibility, empathy, creativity, and genuine care.

I’m very happy with the result and would definitely hire her again, highly recommend

$30 per hour for 1 child

I’m a dependable and caring sitter and eldest daughter of 7 with over 4 years of hands-on nannying experience, caring for infants through children age 10. I’m patient, attentive, and safety-focused, while also making sure kids feel comfortable, engaged, and supported. In addition to childcare, I’ve also provided reliable dog and cat sitting, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets and maintaining households. I’m currently in school pursuing a nursing degree, which has strengthened my compassion, responsibility, and attention to detail. Families describe me as warm, organized, and trustworthy, and I take pride in creating a safe, positive environment for every family I work with. I look forward to supporting your family needs soon!

Shanai has exceptional skill in care giving for young children as well as extensive experience. She has taken care of a wide range of ages of children in the neighborhood anywhere from infants to pre-teen ages. She has always been respectful of property and is extremely reliable and punctual. She follows directions well yet she is also able to incorporate fun and creativity when directly overseeing a child / children. Would definitely recommend her services - you won’t be disappointed. Not only will you continue to request her assistance, but will also recommend her to others as I have.

Hi My name is Alejandra. I have over 5 years of experience caring for children of all ages, especially babies and older kids. With them, I love using art, toys, and creative activities to keep them engaged and help them learn in a fun and meaningful way. I also enjoy helping with household tasks such as cooking, cleaning, and running errands. I’m happy to assist with homework as well! Additionally, I have experience caring for pets and am a big dog and cat lover. In my free time, I enjoy painting, drawing, and creating collages. I am also a proud leader in my college’s Latino community. Working with children brings me so much joy because they always put a smile on my face, and I love spending time with them, watching them grow, and seeing how they develop new skills every day.

Alejandra watched our 4 & 7 year old girls. She did a fantastic job and the seven year old wanted her to come back the next day. She showed up on time and was professional (and fun).

Hello, I am a 24 year old university student working on their teaching credentials. I completed college and obtained my Associates degree in social and behavioral sciences as well as an Associates in Humanities. I have been babysitting for 8+ years now and I have always loved getting to grow/learn from every child’s needs! I’ve worked with infants, toddlers, and older kids. I also have a little brother and sister so I have experience from first hand with babies and older children. I recently worked as a New Comers teacher helping students with learning English and homework. I am always patient and kind and willing to learn new things that accommodate to every child. I have awesome references as well ready to be provided. 🙂 I love to play the piano and write and books! I am very happy to do arts and crafts with children, take a stroll to the park or a museum, I have a clean driving record and up to date with all my vaccines! Please feel free to reach out and I can offer my resume or references from my past families!

"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."

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)."
