Hello families my name is Michelle I can describe myself as someone patient, honest, creative and very lovely. I started working as a nanny when I was in high school (2013) I have a lot of experience with kids 0-16 years old, I have experience working with multiple kids. At the moment I am a full time nanny of a happy toddler (I started with them when she was 5 months) I am looking for occasional/weekends/evening jobs. I like to prepare activities to engage with the kids accordingly to their age like crafts, painting, dancing, going for walks, visiting the playground, playing sports, board games, puzzles and painting last but not least I’m bilingual so if you want I would be more than happy to teach your kids some Spanish words!! I’m always on time and I work great following schedules/routines. I have an advanced child care training certificate conducted by American Red Cross I love animals so working around pets it’s not a problem at all. I have my own car and clean drive record. I am fully vaccinated and boosted. Thank you, I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Hello, my name is Monica I love children, I have experience with infants, toddlers, kindergarten, primary and special education, I love children of all ages and I like to do activities with them like reading, painting,craft, play game, help with homework and teach .

“Monica currently babysits my 8mo daughter 5 days a week while I am at work. When she initially arrived for the in-person interview, I could tell she had not only great experience with kids but is also very empathetic and safety-conscious, which are two very important traits I believe for a person taking care of an infant. She lets me know if she has any concerns and updates me about anything “new” in regards to my daughter . She is also very punctual and dependable; she is very interactive, engaging my daughter with toys, books, music, and conversation. I feel confident when I leave the house in the morning, knowing my daughter is in caring in capable hands. I am so grateful to have found her on Urban Sitters !”

My name is Christinei. I am a professional educator over 41 years now and have been a nanny for about 22 of those. This was the best decision I made ever. I like the one on one care it provides for the child(ren) and the whole family, including pets. Each child is an individual and needs to be heard and learns differently and this as an educator is where I learn from them. My expertise is in newborn/infant/toddler care but I also love to prepare your child for preschool and readiness for group learning environments. I teach through all experiences and will help the new parent “see” each developmental level their child has experienced and help achieve the next level with proper fun experiences - yes a three month old can “read” a favorite book! I look forward to becoming part of your child’s team - that includes the love of the family pet!

“Christine first joined our network about 8 years ago as we became new parents. We needed help a few days a week as I (mama) worked from home. She very much followed my lead, allowed me to have my time with my newborn sitting back and chatting and sharing little tidbits that became so helpful when navigating new parenthood - but when I needed to step away and dive into work-focus, she was able to keep space and handle whatever was happening. Her specialized education in language development quickly became apparent. She would have the most delightful conversations with our infant, and then focus in on age appropriate sounds for language development. They were soon chatting for hours while working with playdoh and doing art. It was a joy to see. When I had to work out of the house, I always came home to a journal review of food, activities, new language development, and all the things a new parent wants to be up to speed on. She bubbled up with us during the pandemic while I was pregnant with our second baby, she was with us full time - allowing us bonding time with our new baby and keeping our toddler engaged and with a routine that could be as consistent as possible during uncertain times. She also brought our lovable dog and cat into her “classroom routines”. She is what we call our “Forever Nanny” - we still consistently use her for date nights, weekends away — and we’ve even gone out of the country for 5 days and left our most loved beings (kids and pets) in the care of Christine. She also takes our fur-babies for us if needed, and she shows up for all the dance recitals and birthday parties. Christine makes learning fun for the kiddos and knows how to set boundaries. She is open to shifting style, depending on family philosophy, but she is also confident enough to offer a different perspective if appropriate. She sets a daily routine consisting of all the normal things (eating, diapering/bathroom) + art (she’s a wonderful and fun artist - it’s one of our kids’ favorite things to do with her), reading, writing, math, gross motor skills, neighborhood adventures, music (I’m probably forgetting others) - but it’s fun and balanced! Christine is a gem.”

"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)."
