I am a passionate and dedicated caregiver with a solid background in childcare. As a mom, I have developed exceptional skills in nurturing and educating children, which allows me to understand their emotional and physical needs. My experience as a former au pair has given me the opportunity to work with diverse families, adapting to different dynamics and cultures, always prioritizing the well-being and safety of the little ones. As a native Spanish speaker, I can offer an enriching environment that encourages language learning from an early age. I am committed to creating fun and educational activities that stimulate the integral development of children.

Ayoade $24 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Ayoade. I’m currently in cosmetology school and hold a Bachelor of Arts in Communication & Psychology. I offer child care, senior care, and light household services. I have over a decade of experience caring for children of all ages—from newborns to school-aged kids (including my twin sisters!). I’ve worked in a daycare and spent 2 years as a Direct Support Professional, which strengthened my skills in patience, safety, and individualized care. My responsibilities have included school drop-offs/pick-ups, meal prep, homework help, crafts, and fun, engaging activities. I’m responsible, flexible, and quick on my feet. I also serve in the children’s department at my church, so my childcare experience is ongoing. I look forward to creating a safe, fun, and caring environment for your family!

Clara $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Clara, and I’m an 18-year-old recent high school graduate with four years of childcare experience. Caring for children has always been my greatest passion. Ever since I was young, I’ve dreamed of working with kids, and my long-term goal is to become a pediatric nurse. Over the past four years, I’ve had the privilege of caring for children of all ages. Every family I’ve worked with has taught me something new and strengthened my love for childcare. I strive to create a safe, loving, and positive environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to learn and grow. I enjoy reading stories, playing games, doing arts and crafts, spending time outdoors, helping with homework, and creating fun activities that keep children engaged. I’m a patient, responsible, dependable, and compassionate caregiver who understands how important trust and communication are. I treat every child with kindness, respect, and the same level of care I would want for my own family. I have my own car, a valid driver’s license, and reliable transportation. I speak English, Portuguese, and Spanish, which allows me to communicate with families from different backgrounds. I’m also comfortable with pets and happy to help with child-related tasks, including meal preparation, tidying up after activities, bedtime routines, and transportation when needed. I have multiple excellent references from families I’ve worked with, and they would be happy to share their experiences. I understand that choosing someone to care for your children is one of the most important decisions a parent can make, and I would be truly honored to earn your trust and become a reliable, caring part of your family’s daily life.

"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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"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)."
