Shanai 1 review
$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).

Samara 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

About Me I’m 33 years old and originally from Brazil. I have a psychology degree in my country and I have several years of childcare experience in both the United States and Brazil. I began caring for children at a young age within my own family. I was 12 years old when my younger sister was born, and I actively helped my family with her care through all stages of her development. I also had experience with children of different ages during my psychology internship in college until I moved to the US at the age of 26 after my graduation to participate in an exchange program, where I worked as an au pair. Experience 6+ years of experience with children of different ages. After completing the program, I continued working as a nanny for other families. My Responsibilities & Skills My responsibilities have included school drop-offs and pick-ups, children’s laundry, meal preparation (I truly enjoy cooking), and planning engaging activities. Arts and crafts are my favorites! I am loving, patient, responsible, flexible, and a confident driver. I am also a strong swimmer. I am currently looking for a part-time or full-time position. I am also available for babysitting and date nights. I would be happy to do a trial day to see if there is a good fit. I would love the opportunity to support your family and care for your children.

Samara is the best with little ones! With three kids under 5, she’s amazing at handling the chaos and the kids absolutely love her. We call her whenever we’re in a bind, school is out, or we need a date night. She’s reliable, flexible, and I always feel completely comfortable leaving the kids with her. Highly recommend!

Olivia 1 review
$35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Olivia, an extroverted and caring person in my early 30s. I’m currently pursuing a second master’s degree in project management. I’m warm, reliable, and genuinely enjoy supporting people and their families in meaningful, everyday ways. --- 🐾 Pet Care I have nearly two years of experience supporting families with both large and small animals. My background includes walking dogs, administering medication, boarding pets, and taking them to parks for playtime. I’m comfortable with most pets, though I prefer not to care for advanced senior animals or those that aren’t potty trained. --- 🧸 Child Care I have over two years of experience caring for children from infancy through their teen years. I especially enjoy engaging toddlers and school‑age kids through outdoor play, board games, creative activities, and baking. I’m fluent in Portuguese and love introducing children to new languages in fun, age‑appropriate ways. --- 👵 Senior Care My experience includes providing personal care and companionship to seniors and individuals with disabilities, including those with autism and Down syndrome. I also spent time in a live‑in volunteer caregiving environment, supporting daily routines, preparing meals, running errands, and offering companionship. I genuinely enjoy connecting with seniors through conversation, shared stories, and puzzles.

Olivia is fantastic! She is always on time, super flexible with scheduling, trustworthy and very Communicative. My 3 year old adores her. She is warm and has a positive energy. I fully recommend her! 10/10!!!

"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)."
