Yesenia 3 reviews
$32 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I am an experienced Nanny/Overnight Care, household manager/housekeeper,pet care I have experience working with children from ages newborn to 16 years old. I have completed early childhood classes 1 and 2, I learned about child development and milestones in children ages 0 to preschool years. I assisted and observed children in several classrooms, these classrooms included: infants, preschool, school age children. I learned how to make my own lessons plans, I am self experience. I have experience working with multiple children at a time and twins, I have experience as a night nanny/mother's helper/working with special needs children. References upon request I work with an agency but I am looking for a position with them or independently. Thank you

Yesenia cared for our son from 14 to 19 months, and she was a wonderful nanny — caring, loving, honest, and trustworthy. She helped him explore his interests and took real pleasure in every part of his daily routine. She was a good communicator and always willing to lend a helping hand - especially at times when we needed it the most! We’re so grateful to have had her in our lives. We’re relocating to the West Coast, or we would have happily continued working with her. We recommend her without hesitation.

Lilla $23 per hour for 1 child

I am in my final year of teacher training, and as I look back on my journey so far, I realize how much working with kids has shaped who I am. Over the past year, I’ve had the opportunity to teach in both elementary and high school, and it has been amazing to watch students grow, learn, and gain confidence in themselves. For eight years, I have also babysat for several families, caring for children ages 2 to 12, which taught me how important it is to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment where kids feel comfortable being themselves. My involvement in scouting has been another huge part of my life—over the past ten years, I’ve worked with kids from 6 to 18, guiding them through challenges, adventures, and leadership opportunities. I even spent time in Colorado working at the YMCA, leading outdoor lessons for kids ages 8 to 16, which combined two things I love most: teaching and being outside. Across all of these experiences, one thing has become clear—I am most fulfilled when I’m working with kids. Being outdoors, learning alongside them, and helping them discover their strengths makes me feel like I am truly following my passion in life.

Ludi $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi!! It’s so nice to meet you. My name is Ludi though everyone calls me Ela. I am currently in my last year of college at Howard University where I am studying Radiation Therapy. I would describe myself as kind, reliable, responsible and energetic which makes taking care of children a responsibility I greatly enjoy. I was born in Eritrea and grew up in Seattle where I enjoyed hiking, going on walks, and visiting some amazing bookshops and cafes. I first starting helping care for children when my sister was born. While I can’t believe that she is nine now (!!!), I have enjoyed helping take care of her since she was born. Since my mother was a contract worker and my father worked doubles, taking care of her was a responsibility I took very seriously and found to be beyond rewarding. The skills and patience I gained when helping her learn to read or understand her frustrations when she couldn’t verbalize them are ones I use now as I study patient care. Since taking care of her, I have been trusted with the care of children of all ages and varying needs. I personally enjoy reading together, going on walks, working through homework, playing games, cooking, and making origami animals with kids. I am very health conscious and have received both Covid shots as well as three boosters along with my yearly flu shot. It is important to me that I develop long lasting, and meaningful connections with families I can provide services to. I can’t wait to meet you!!

I also have my RedCross First Aid/CPR/AED certification. With my families in Richmond, I always ensure that the kids are entertained, happy, and safe.

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!

"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)."
