Gina 2 reviews
$22 per hour for 1 child

Hello Families! My name is Gina, I’m an experienced and nurturing caregiver. I am truly passionate about early development and always look for fun and engaging ways to connect with the children in my care. With safety as my main priority, I’m a hands on caregiver ! I love to get down and play, read, sing 🎶, dance or paint. I’m always available to facilitate and inspire fun! My goal when I’m caring for children is that they feel safe, heard and loved. My experience ranges from group care, newborn, overnight newborn care, live-in, infant/ toddler and mixed age siblings. I just updated my CPR/First Aid and I have updated vaccines, so I look forward to supporting all of your care and coverage needs. Sincerely, Ms Gina-Weena ☺️

“Gina was our daughter's full-time nanny from 8 months of age to 16 months. We unfortunately had to say good-bye, due to our family moving out of the area. She has been such a calm and joyful presence in our home. When our daughter transitioned from baby to toddlerhood, she had a gentle and patient approach with toddler tantrums. She reinforced boundaries, without ever raising her voice. She planned activities for our daughter and took her all over town to fun museums and cafes. She also cooked delicious meals/snacks for our daughter, and exposed her to new foods. We appreciated that she treated our family with respect, and was always open to feedback. Most importantly to us, she loved our daughter and was incredibly nurturing towards her. We knew our daughter was safe and well-taken care of in her custody. They had a great bond. I can't recommend Gina highly enough!”

Hi! I’m Luzma, a nanny with 10 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from babies to young kids. I’ve worked with different families, caring for 1 to 3 children at a time, and I absolutely love making their days fun, safe, and full of learning. I naturally weave Spanish into daily routines, so kids can pick it up while playing, singing, and exploring. My goal is always to create a happy, nurturing space where children feel loved, confident, and ready to thrive!

Nana $27 per hour for 1 child

I have nearly 20 years of experience working with children, including 12 years as a neonatal nurse in the intensive care unit in my home country of Georgia. Since moving to the United States, I’ve been fortunate to work with several wonderful families, caring for children of all ages, but my true passion is caring for newborns and infants. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your most precious little ones. As a mom myself, I treat every child I care for as if they were my own. I strive to create a special bond with the children I work with, offering them love, comfort, and the attention they need to thrive. In addition to my caring nature, I bring professional expertise as a former neonatal nurse. I know how to handle the unique needs of infants, which can provide peace of mind—especially for first-time moms. Families I’ve worked with have described me as dependable, responsible, punctual, and organized, and I take pride in being someone they can always rely on ( I can provide references upon request). If you’re looking for a nanny who will care for your little one with love, kindness, and expertise, I would love to speak with you.

"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)."
