Hello! My name is Carmen, and I would love to be considered as your nanny. I have over 5 years of experience caring for children, including those with special needs, and I always strive to create a safe, supportive, and loving environment where every child feels seen and understood. I'm fluent in Portuguese, speak intermediate Spanish, and am confident in English as well,so I'm comfortable working in multilingual households or supporting language development. I'm happy to support with daily routines and learning activities. I have extensive experience with infants, encompassing responsibilities such as feeding, bedtime routines, interactive play, outdoor strolls, and engaging in conversations to enhance their cognitive growth and here are other duties: driving to school and activities, managing doctors' appointments, organizing play dates, and ensuring they are well-fed with nutritious meals. I look forward to hearing from you!! Thank you, Carmen

$25 per hour for 1 child

I am a compassionate, dependable, and patient caregiver who truly values creating a safe and nurturing environment for children. I’ve been caring for kids since I was young — starting as the oldest sibling helping raise my younger siblings, and later babysitting throughout my teenage years. Those early experiences helped me develop strong responsibility, attentiveness, and a natural ability to connect with children of different age

Alessia has been an incredible caregiver for our family. She has taken care of our kids on multiple occasions—whether for date nights or other events—and every time has been a great experience. She is reliable, punctual, and naturally connects with children in a warm and engaging way. Our kids genuinely enjoy spending time with her, and we always feel at ease knowing they’re in good hands. Alessia is attentive, responsible, and goes above and beyond to make sure everyone is comfortable and happy. We highly recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!

She also went above and beyond by helping around the house, which was such a huge help. My child had a great time with her, and I would highly recommend her to any family looking for a dependable and caring babysitter.

"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)."
