Hi! My name is Rita and I am a dedicated and highly experienced nanny with over 22 years of hands on childcare experience. Caring for children has truly become a lifelong passion of mine. I am a proud mom of two daughters, 20 and 21 so I understand the importance of creating a safe, loving and structured environment where children can grow and thrive. Over the past 13 years, I have worked with families long term, typically staying for 3+ years which has allowed me to build trusting relationships with both children and parents. My background includes everything from infant care to supporting school aged children with routines, activities and emotional development. I also love incorporating learning into everyday activities and have experience teaching Spanish to children in a fun and engaging way. I especially enjoy planning arts and crafts and other child enrichment activities that encourage creativity and development. I’m known for being reliable, patient, and attentive, and I truly enjoy creating engaging, nurturing experiences for the kids I care for. I treat every child like family. I would love the opportunity to support your family! I have references available upon request!

Rita is very friendly and good with kids. My 3.5 year old loved spending time with her. 10/10 wholeheartedly recommend!

Hi! I'm Fariani—but most parents end up calling me Mary Poppins. 😊 Caring for children is more than a job to me—it's my passion. I'm a warm, reliable, and patient nanny with experience caring for children from newborns to teenagers, including 4 years working with a child with special needs with feeding tube. I also speak several languages French is my native language. I love creating fun, engaging, and educational days through reading, arts & crafts, parks, museums, board games, homework help, and teaching French. My priority is to provide a safe, loving environment where children feel happy, supported, and encouraged to learn and grow. I'm also happy to prepare healthy meals, help with light housekeeping, and maintain open, honest communication with parents. I'm looking for a family that values kindness, trust, and teamwork.

"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."

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)."
