Maria $40 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a professional nanny with 12+ years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns and infants to toddlers and school-aged kids. I began working with children at 16 and have built a strong, reliable career in childcare ever since. I’m confident managing multiple children, maintaining routines, preparing meals, assisting with homework, engaging kids in age-appropriate activities, and providing calm, attentive care. Safety, communication, and consistency are always my top priorities, and I take pride in being dependable and proactive. I’m especially available for weekend care, including long days, evenings, and date nights. I’m CPR/First Aid certified, comfortable with driving children when needed, and happy to help with light child-related household tasks

Alexa $20 per hour for 1 child

As the oldest of 10, I grew up caring for babies and naturally became the “second mom.” I’m now a first-time mom to my 10 week old, so I’m very experienced with newborn care like feeding, diapering, soothing, and sleep routines. I understand infant cues and create a calm, nurturing environment. I bring my baby along, offering a built-in, age appropriate playmate and a social, home like setting. I also have 9 years of pet care experience, including work as a surgical veterinary technician. Your baby will be in patient, loving, and capable hands.

I've been working with kids for seven years and am currently Nanny, which has given me a lot of hands-on experience. I love helping children grow, learn, and have fun in a safe and nurturing environment. I'm patient, creative, and responsible, with experience caring for kids of all ages. I enjoy playing outdoor games, board games, and educational activities, and I'm comfortable enforcing household rules while keeping things fun. I also make sure to keep parents updated in whatever way works best for them. I have a car, I'm good with pets, and I speak both English and Portuguese. I'd love to get to know your family!

"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."

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)."
