Hello! My name is Samantha. I am a caring, responsible, and patient nanny with over 5 years of childcare experience. As a mother myself, I understand how important it is for parents to feel that their children are safe, happy, and well cared for. I am a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and CPR certified, which allows me to provide an extra level of safety and attention when caring for children.

My name is Nazlı, and I am a 29-year-old caregiver from Türkiye. I hold a bachelor's degree in International Relations, and throughout my studies I worked as a nanny, caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. In addition, I have completed a professional childcare certification, which has further strengthened my knowledge and skills in providing high-quality care. Working with children has always been my passion. I genuinely enjoy creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where they can learn, grow, and feel supported. I have always built strong, trusting relationships with the children I care for through patience, kindness, and open communication. I consider myself responsible, reliable, organized, and highly patient. I believe one of my greatest strengths is knowing how to balance being a fun, caring companion while also providing the structure, guidance, and consistency that children need. I understand the importance of maintaining routines, encouraging positive behavior, and supporting each child's emotional and developmental needs. I also worked as an au pair in the United States, where I cared for a 23-month-old toddler and an infant. I began caring for the baby when she was just 3 months old, and later welcomed and cared for a newborn sibling after the family's second child was born during my stay. This experience gave me valuable hands-on experience caring for multiple young children of different ages while adapting to the changing needs of a growing family. After completing my au pair program, I continued working as a professional nanny. I cared for an infant from the age of 2 months until the child turned 14 months, further strengthening my experience with newborn and infant care, developmental milestones, and daily routines. Most recently, I have been caring for twin boys for the past two years. As they will be starting school this September, I am now looking for a new opportunity where I can continue providing loving, dependable, and high-quality care to another family. For the health and safety of the families I work with, I am fully vaccinated against COVID-19 (including two booster doses) and have also recently received my influenza and Tdap vaccinations.

🌿 Professional Nanny & Family Assistant Hi! I’m Angie, a caring, patient, and highly reliable nanny with over 7 years of experience, including 2 full years as an Au Pair and Family Assistant in the U.S. During my Au Pair program, I worked closely with my host family not only caring for the children but also supporting the household as a family assistant. I helped plan and maintain daily routines (meals, naps, school schedules, activities, homework, and bedtime), organized educational and recreational activities, supported bilingual learning (Spanish/English), and assisted with light household tasks to keep the home running smoothly. I have experience with children of all ages, from newborns and infants to toddlers, school-age children, and teens, and I’m very comfortable caring for multiple children at once. Safety is always a priority — I’m CPR & First Aid certified, attentive, and calm in any situation. Families describe me as trustworthy, loving, patient, and very organized. I focus on creating a warm, positive, and structured environment where children feel safe, happy, and confident. My approach is gentle and respectful, with an emphasis on positive discipline, emotional regulation, and age-appropriate independence. I love encouraging learning through play and creativity, including reading stories, arts and crafts, painting, music and movement, outdoor adventures, sensory play, and Montessori-inspired activities. I also enjoy teaching Spanish naturally through games and daily conversations. I’m fully vaccinated, a non-smoker, a strong and safe driver with a clean record, a confident swimmer, and very comfortable with pets. I hold a U.S. Green Card, allowing full authorization to work and travel in the U.S. I’m available for full-time starting in August and have a very flexible schedule, including evenings, weekends, date nights, occasional overnight care, and travel if needed. I have excellent recent references and truly value building long-term, trusting relationships with families. If you’re looking for someone reliable, organized, and genuinely passionate about helping children grow and enjoy their days, I’d love to meet your family 💛

We've booked Angelica for 5 consecutive afternoons/evenings of support, and she has been able to interact and play with kids. Overall, we would recommend Angelica.

"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

"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)."
