Hi. My name is Kedija. I am a mother of 3 children and have raised them each to the ages of 5, 12, and 17. I’ve homeschooled my two oldest for over six years now. I am a licensed driver, have my own transportation, and have a clean driving record. I can take care of children up to 9 years old, seniors (non-medical), and am willing to provide some light household services (light food preparation, organizing, light cleaning). I can read small children’s books for kids and can play and get along with them very well. I have worked for a mother of 3 young children for a whole school year as a babysitter. I am a very friendly, reliable, and hardworking. I remember and follow rules well.

Ingrid $25 per hour for 1 child

With over 5 years of experience, I specialize in caring for newborns, infants, and toddlers. My passion is fostering physical and cognitive development in a safe, happy environment. I consider myself creative, organized, and deeply empathetic. For the last 3 years, I have worked with the same U.S. family, managing the care of three children at different developmental stages. This experience has allowed me to master multitasking, sibling dynamics, and long-term developmental support. I love organizing purposeful play activities, early stimulation, and outdoor exploration. I am also an expert in establishing well-being routines, nutrition transitions, and potty training. For me, being a nanny is a commitment to lead with heart and help children grow into confident individuals. Excellent U.S. references are available. Available starting mid September, early October 2026!

Karla $18 per hour for 1 child

As a nurturing nanny with comprehensive daycare expertise and the joyful experience of being a mother to my own child, I bring a wealth of care and understanding to every child I have the pleasure of nurturing. With a heart full of warmth and a dedication to fostering growth, I create a safe and stimulating environment where children can thrive. My journey as a nanny and daycare provider has equipped me with a deep understanding of child development and the dynamics of early childhood education. From fostering creativity through imaginative play to encouraging social interaction and emotional intelligence, I strive to create a holistic environment that nurtures every aspect of a child's development. In addition to English, I am fluent in Spanish and passionate about sharing the richness of the language and culture with young learners. Through interactive activities, songs, and storytelling, I provide a fun and immersive learning experience that ignites curiosity and lays the foundation for bilingual proficiency.

"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)."
