Hi, my name is Laura, ex Aupair ✨ Nanny expert ✨I’m a industrial design student, current offering child care, house sitting or pet sitting services. My experience as a baby sitter is very good,I started at home taking care of my little brother but also taking care of 2 kids (1 and 7 years old) for more that one whole year every day… During my job I drove the kids to the school and after school to soccer practice. I worked with the same family for little more than a year and then we became very good friends. Now I’m living here in New York and I’m looking for a good family! I love working with kids, I’m originally from colombia and I can teach the kids Spanish if you need. I can prepare meals to the kids, (not afraid to change diapers). I’m also pet lover. Some dogs and cats can cause me allergies but If a keep washing my hands everything will be fine. Thanks for reading, hope to meet you soon!!!!

With a strong foundation in early childhood development and exceptional organizational skills, I am excited to bring my experience and dedication to your school community. I am currently seeking a full-time position as a teaching assistant while continuing my education, and I am open to adapting to different roles and learning opportunities that support both my professional growth and your school’s needs. I take pride in my ability to communicate effectively with both parents and colleagues, and I am known for being nurturing, patient, and attentive when working with children. My experience as a substitute paraprofessional for one year allowed me to support students from diverse backgrounds, including those with varying learning needs and disabilities. Additionally, my time at Belmont Community Daycare Center helped me build a strong, hands-on understanding of child care and early learning environments. I am CPR certified and hold additional certifications that support my ability to provide a safe and supportive environment for students. I am confident in my ability to contribute positively as a teaching assistant and to grow

“Jahyra is an exceptional babysitter for my two kids, consistently showing patience, responsibility, and genuine care in everything she does. She has a natural ability to connect with children, keeping them engaged with fun, creative activities while also maintaining a safe and structured environment. My kids absolutely adore her and always look forward to the time they spend together, which gives me great peace of mind as a parent. Jahyra is dependable, attentive, and communicates clearly, making her someone I fully trust to look after my children. I couldn’t ask for a better babysitter.”

Hello everyone, I began my career as a Montessori preschool teacher, where I developed a deep understanding of child-led learning, developmental milestones, and creating enriching, structured environments. In 2019, I transitioned into professional nannying, bringing my classroom expertise into private homes to provide personalized, high-quality care. My approach blends Montessori principles with attentive, individualized care ensuring each child feels secure, confident, and inspired to explore their world. I am warm, patient, and caring, always valuing safety, respect, and open communication. I strive to communicate clearly and kindly, fostering an atmosphere of trust. When working with children, I like to use positive reinforcement, simple explanations, and consistent follow through to create a supportive environment. With parents, I remain organized and transparent, making sure everyone feels heard and valued.

“She was wonderful. Very patient with our toddler and he had so much fun with Miriam.”

Hi! My name is Jessica. I am a recent college graduate with my Bachelor in Health Services Administration. I am a dedicated mom, and a proud pet parent offering child care, pet care, and simple household services. I recently completed my internship at an after school program where I worked with middle school students, helping supervise activities, support events, and assist with daily tasks. I also have previous babysitting experience and understand the importance of creating a safe, patient, and nurturing environment for children. As a pet owner, I am comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away.

I’m a responsible and adaptable caregiver with extensive experience caring for children ages 1-8. My flexible personality helps me connect easily with kids of all ages. I’ve cared for multiple cats and dogs throughout my life and currently have a cat, so I’m completely comfortable with pets in the home. I understand that every child is unique, and I pride myself on adjusting my approach to meet each family’s specific needs and routines. Whether it’s engaging toddlers with creative play, helping school age children with activities, or providing reliable household support, I bring patience, enthusiasm, and a genuine love for working with both children and animals to every family I work with.

"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)."
