Zindzy $23 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Melrose, MA

I am Zindzy Zynane, a 21-year-old Brazilian nanny with over 8 years of experience in childcare, especially with babies and newborns with strong references. I have strong experience with sleep routines, feeding (including bottle-feeding and handling breast milk), diaper changing, and activities that support children’s development. Throughout my experience, I have worked with different families, caring for children of various ages — from young babies to pre-teens. My responsibilities have included school drop-off and pick-up, preparing meals and snacks, helping with homework, organizing recreational activities, outings, and educational play, as well as handling household tasks related to the children. I also have experience as a live-in nanny, caring for more than one child at the same time, including children with special needs. I am certified in CPR and First Aid, and I have completed infant care training. English is my second language, and I have an advanced level, with additional knowledge of English grammar. I am organized, responsible, patient, communicative, creative, and trustworthy. I enjoy cooking, I am active, I value healthy habits, and I love animals.

Hello. My name is Tatiana. I'm looking for a babysitting job. I'm very positive, kind, thoughtful and hard working person. I'm originally from Russia and speak Russian as well as English. I have a good sense of humor, engaging personality and genuine love of children. Lots of experience with children. In a past I took care of two beautiful boys at the age of 3 and 5 years old. I was living in nanny and was helping with laundry, cleaning and feeding the kids. I have been also taking care of my friends children of different ages and can provide with references upon request at any time. I was taking care of two beautiful twins for over a two years since they were 5 months old. So have lots of experience with infant children as well. I think I would be a great fit for your children and I am sure it would be great experience for everyone. I am looking forward to start a journey with your family and become a part of it!

"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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

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)."
