Hi, I’m Amira and I'm a fun-loving and responsible babysitter with over 4 years of experience. I'm great at coming up with creative activities to keep kids engaged and entertained, and I always make sure to put their safety first. Im always up for playing dress-up, reading stories, or helping with homework and keeping them happy. I'm I'm available for both last-minute and scheduled babysitting, and I'm happy to help out with meal prep and light housekeeping. Im always open to chatting on the phone before to see if I'm a good fit for your family. Some things about me personally are I love to hike and do anything outdoors that involves nature, I also love to read and play sports! I’ve done 3 mission trips over in Africa, volunteering in the child care and teaching program as well.

I'd describe my personality as fun, positive and energetic I like working with kids because is pleasurable and fun. I'm looking for a job that I am respected, and the family-environment is easygoing. I started working with kids since my 15 years old. In my spare time, I like to be outdoors, hike, spend time with my dog and my cat. Painting, coloring, cooking.. One thing you should know about me is I'm a good heart and straightforward. Also drama free and I will take care of your children as my own. My skills include CPR, help development and breathing work/meditation lessons with kids.

“Julia was engaged while she was with our LO. She was patient, gave space to understand our daughter’s needs, and read and played with her. She’s a natural with kids! Our daughter had a great time with her, which, for any parent, is a relief.”

Hi! My name is Delfina, I’m from Argentina, I moved to California to study in UCLA. For the past 5 years I,ve been working in Aspen, Colorado as a Ski Instructor for Kids 6 & Under. I love kids and I consider myself to be very patient. I also babysat for many families while in Aspen, after the ski lesson kids love to go ice skating or for ice cream! I’m a fan of the mountains, love skiing and doing staff outdoors, but also like staying inside reading a good book :)

"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."

"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)."
