Elianny $20 per hour for 1 child

I am a caring, responsible, and patient caregiver with both professional experience and real-life parenting experience. I am the mother of a 3-year-old child, so I understand firsthand the love, attention, and responsibility that caring for a baby or young child requires. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from my home country, and I currently work providing behavioral therapy to children with autism, which has strengthened my skills in emotional regulation, structure, patience, and child development. I truly enjoy working with children and focus on creating a safe, calm, and structured environment where they feel loved, understood, and supported. I am very attentive to routines, safety, and each child’s individual needs. I can help with: Daily childcare routines Meal preparation Light household tasks related to the child Educational and developmental activities I value clear and honest communication with parents and treat every child as if they were my own. My primary language is Spanish, and I can understand and communicate in English. I am reliable, nurturing, and flexible with my schedule. I would be happy to care for your child with dedication, respect, and warmth.

Hi, my name is Samia and I'm currently a student studying to become a nurse, with the goal of specializing in pediatric care. I am offering child care services. I have experience caring for children from ages 1 to 8 years old, including helping with feeding, dressing, playtime, reading, school drop-offs/pickups, and bedtime routines. I truly enjoy spending time with children, and I take pride in creating a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment for them. My goal is always to support both the child's emotional and physical development while keeping things fun and age-appropriate. I am CPR certified and well-versed in safety procedures for children. In addition to caregiving, I'm comfortable with pets-I have a dog myself-and understand how important they are to a family. I also have practical skills in cooking, cleaning, and I'm happy to drive to appointments or run errands as needed. Thank you for considering me. I look forward to the opportunity to care for your little ones!

“Sam was able to help us out on short notice when we had a last minute cancellation of our child care, and she was great with the kids. We would definitely have her over again!”

"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)."
