Yaira $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I'm Yaira - a warm, open-minded, and patient caregiver with a heart full of love for children. I'm 23 years old, proudly Colombian, and fluent in both English and Spanish. With over 2,000 hours of hands-on childcare experience, I've cared for children of all ages and always approach my work with empathy, responsibility, and joy. Before becoming an au pair, I spent a year volunteering at a daycare, where I discovered my passion for supporting little ones. I'm CPR certified, a strong swimmer, and hold a degree in Social Communication, which has strengthened my ability to connect meaningfully with kids and parents. I believe in respectful, loving, and mindful parenting, and I bring that philosophy into every home I work with. I'm also a non-smoker and do not drink alcohol. If you're looking for someone reliable, kind-hearted, and truly passionate about nurturing your child's development, I'd love to connect. Let's chat and see if we're a great fit!

Gwladys $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, Moms and dads, I’m Gwladys! I’m 29 years old, a proud mom of three, and currently juggling full-time work and school as I pursue my bachelor’s degree in sonography. I hold an associate degree in science and am looking for a side opportunity to help support my family while doing something I genuinely enjoy; caring for children. Although I don't have formal professional childcare experience, I’ve been caring for kids since I was 14. Being a mother myself, I understand the importance of trust, patience, and creating a safe, loving environment for little ones. I’m naturally nurturing, empathetic, attentive, and deeply committed to children’s well-being and development. Whether you need a reliable caregiver for a few hours or extra support during busy days, I’d love to be a helping hand in your family's 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)."
