I am writing to introduce myself to new families. With over five years of experience providing both childcare and household support, I bring a strong combination of reliability organization and genuine care. I have worked closely , family of two children ages 1 and 7, where I supported their daily routines while helping maintain as a smooth, structured and positive home environment. My responsibilities included preparing nutritious meals, managing bath and bedtime routines, organizing educational and recreational activities, and engaging the children in sports such as soccer and basketball.

I take pride in being dependable, proactive, and adaptable. I understand that importance of maintaining safe, nurturing environment while balancing the practical needs of busy household.

I love being a babysitter/nanny because I enjoy spending time with children and helping them learn and grow. I love their curiosity and creativity, and I enjoy creating fun memories through games, crafts, stories, and outdoor activities. I also enjoy sharing my culture with them while learning from their unique perspectives. I have experience caring for children of different ages through babysitting, family childcare, and here in the United States. My responsibilities have included supervising playtime, preparing meals, helping with routines, organizing activities, and ensuring their safety and well-being. I am responsible, patient, creative, organized, and committed to creating a safe and positive environment for children.

“Carolina cared for my daughter when she was 7 years old. She helped her with homework, prepared snacks, and took her to the park. My daughter loved spending time with her and really enjoyed her company. Carolina was caring, responsible, and trustworthy. I would definitely recommend her!”

“Having Dani watch Lilah was an absolute joy. My daughter adored her. I'm a single mom with a 10 year old who has to hustle in LA so I really needed an attentive and loving sitter and Dani answered that call. Was great at communication, very warm, patient, and attentive to my little girl. There was even an occasion that a shoot ran late and I had to have Dani stay after hours and she was so understanding and accommodating. A literal lifesaver. I can tell she loves what she does. I really think Lilah built such an attachment to her!”

"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)."
