Hi! My name is Diana, and I’m a freshman at Cornell University majoring in Animal Science. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish and have experience working with children and individuals with special needs. I’m a patient, responsible, and hands-on caregiver who loves creating a positive, supportive, and fun environment. In my free time, I enjoy painting, reading, and spending time outdoors with animals. I truly value caregiving because it allows me to build meaningful connections and bring comfort, joy, and care to others.

Hi parents! I’m Ana and I’m looking for a part-time position to work full days on Monday, Wednesday and Thursdays starting in May but I'm flexible. I have eight years of childcare experience, with a strong background in infant care. I’m known for being responsible, on time, patient and kind. I'm bilingual (Portuguese) and I come highly recommended with great references, CPR/First Aid certified, a reliable car and a clean record. I love creating a safe, nurturing and fun environment for children, focusing on their growth and development. I’m committed to working closely with parents to ensure their needs and expectations are met and I’m excited about building a long-term relationship with the right family.

Carla $28 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Van Nuys, CA

Hi, my name is Carla. I'm a bilingual caregiver who speaks both English and Spanish, and I'm new to this platform. I specialize in caring for children ages newborn to 5 years old, helping them learn and grow through play. I believe that watching TV is not beneficial for young children; instead, I focus on interactive activities that encourage creativity, language, and motor skills, helping each child reach important developmental milestones in a fun, natural way. I have nearly 7 years of experience. I'm also a proud mom of a 4-year-old, whom I've cared for since birth. I hold a standard CPR certification and maintain a clean record. I'm reliable, caring, and adaptable to each family's unique needs. While I'm still building local references, I'm happy to provide personal ones upon request. I'd love the opportunity to support your family and help your little one thrive!

"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)."
