I am 32 years old. I have a 13year old daughter and a 4 year old son. I have been babysitting since I was 10 years old. My mom would work on the weekends so I would stay home and take care of my little brother and sister who were the age of 6 months old and 1 years old. I have my DCF 45 Hour Certificate. I was a nanny to a couple of families. Also, I used to work for a private preschool for about a year. I love working with kids because how small they are, they can teach you many things. I enjoy being around kids very much.

I would def. Hire her again

I love being a babysitter for all ages because I’m patient, responsible, and know how to connect with kids at every stage. Whether it’s keeping toddlers engaged with creative play or helping older kids with homework and routines, I adapt easily and always prioritize safety, fun, and positive guidance.

Whitney took our job within hours and she was amazing! Prepared, friendly and outgoing, warm and connecting. The kids said after a few minutes of meeting her “I like her already”! She was on time and so helpful. I highly recommend.

I would like your baby 👶🏼🐶😺🐦🦎🐟 to be comfortable with me first as I will be in THEIR zone and not the other way around, hence a meet and greet will always be a great idea to start ❤. I am available everyday in the mornings before work and after 5:30pm. I would love to take care of your family member in the evenings. I am also available on the weekends, both Saturday & Sunday, as well as holidays 🤗 Your time away from your baby should and WILL be nothing but worry-free and pleasant knowing I will be there. If your baby already has routine, then I will follow that. With you already being away, they will already have enough to worry about, therefore making it as normal for them as they are already used to, is key for me.

Wendy is amazing!! I wouldn’t leave my babies with anyone but her. She is always on time and send me pictures and videos of them all the time. You can tell that she really love what she does.

Hello, My name is Esther, I’ve been living in Miami for over 15 years and have years of experience caring for children, including babysitting for my cousins and friends’ kids. I also have a background working as a Home Health Aide (HHA), which gave me valuable experience caring for the elderly. As a mother myself, I’ve been hands on through the many stages of child development, and I understand the importance of patience, safety, and creating a nurturing environment. I also have a dog, a Shepherd and Doberman mix, so I’m very comfortable with pets and know how to manage high-energy animals with love and responsibility. I’m multilingual: English : Advanced Creole :Advanced Spanish :Moderate French :Beginner Portuguese : I can understand I would be happy to support a family in need of care, and I look forward to the opportunity to help whenever needed.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
