Patricia $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Patricia, and I've been a full-time professional nanny for 5 years. I truly love what I do and take pride in being a trusted, positive presence in children's lives who prioritizes their safety above all else. I have extensive hands-on experience with infants through early childhood, including 4+ years as a primary caregiver. I've managed all aspects of care--feeding, diapering, naps, safe sleep, meal prep, potty training, and maintaining routines--while keeping parents informed and aligned with their preferences. I can provide proof of experience with permission from past families. I'm attentive, hands-on, and genuinely connect with children. I engage, play, and create a calm, nurturing environment where they feel safe and supported. I have my own car, am a non-smoker, and am CPR/First Aid certified. I'm happy to help with child-related tasks, light housekeeping, and errands. I'm flexible and available weekdays, evenings, and weekends, and can provide references upon request.

Hi there! I’m Patience, your next sitter (hopefully😊). I am a reliable, empathetic, and caring babysitter with a strong commitment to creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for children.

I enjoy engaging children in creative activities, and maintaining consistent routines. I communicate clearly with parents to ensure peace of mind and strive to build trust with both families and children. I am comfortable handling meal preparation, light housekeeping, bedtime routines, and structured playtime.

Viviana 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

I am a 49-year-old bilingual Spanish-English mother and a legal permanent resident. I hold university degrees from both the United States and abroad, and I bring a fun, calm, and responsible approach to working with children. I have raised three children, now aged 15, 27, and 29. I began babysitting well before becoming a parent, when I cared for my cousin’s baby from six months old for nearly a year while my cousin was undergoing intensive medical treatment. For the past two years, I have cared for toddlers and children through word of mouth, and I am now registering with this platform. I enjoy reading to children, discovering music together, and spending time at the park. I take cues from children and adapt to their interests and play. I am calm and resourceful in emergencies or unexpected situations and use good judgment. In addition to childcare, I also offer: - Driving children and seniors to and from appointments, activities, and errands - Meal preparation - Pet sitting for dogs and cats

“Viviana has cared for our toddler daughter since she was a baby, and we couldn’t be happier. She is loving, fun, and responsible, with excellent judgment. Our daughter absolutely loves spending time with her, and we always feel confident knowing she is in Viviana’s care.”

Hi this is Ashley I am a responsible, caring, and trustworthy bilingual (English-Spanish) babysitter/nanny with extensive experience caring for children from newborns (0 months) up to 6 years old. I have a genuine passion for working with young children and consistently prioritize their safety, emotional well-being, and overall development. I worked for over three years and three months with the same family, building a strong, long-term relationship based on trust, reliability, and quality care. They are happy to provide professional references upon request, reflecting my commitment, consistency, and dedication in my role. I am currently seeking a full-time position starting in March and am also available for occasional weekend care. I am patient, attentive, well-organized, and able to adapt easily to each family's routines, expectations, and parenting style. I enjoy engaging children in age-appropriate and educational activities such as reading, sensory play, arts and crafts, music, and outdoor play. I am comfortable assisting with feeding, nap schedules, diaper changes, potty training, and maintaining clean and organized play areas. I am reliable, punctual, and respectful, and my goal is to create a safe, nurturing, and positive environment where children feel secure and happy, and where parents feel confident and at ease.

"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)."
