Rosa $25 per hour for 1 child

I bring over 10 years of hands-on childcare experience, having babysat for multiple families and cared for children of various ages. Currently, I work as a substitute teacher for preschool and elementary school in Beacon Hill, which has strengthened my ability to manage groups, support early learning, and respond calmly to different needs and personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and reliable, with a strong focus on creating a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment. In addition to childcare, I have experience pet-sitting both dogs and cats, so I’m comfortable in households with animals and happy to help care for them as well. I’m also willing to assist with light household tasks to keep things running smoothly. My goal is to support families by being dependable, caring, and proactive, while ensuring children feel secure, happy, and encouraged to learn and play.

Estrellita $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Estrellita and I'm a responsible, calm, and caring person who enjoys helping others and creating safe, comfortable environments. I have some previous experience caring for children in my home country, where I worked as a nanny for a family. Through this, I learned the importance of patience, attentiveness, and following routines to ensure children feel secure and well cared for. I am reliable, detail-oriented, and very respectful of each family’s guidelines and parenting style. I take safety seriously and always aim to create a positive and supportive environment. I’m also interested in pet sitting and dog walking, as I feel very comfortable around animals and enjoy giving them attention, patience, and care. I believe clear communication and trust are essential, and I always show up on time and prepared. I’m excited to continue gaining experience and supporting families in a thoughtful and responsible way.

"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)."
