Lorraine $33 per hour for 1 child

I’m a caring, dependable mom of three with many years of hands-on experience raising children from infancy through school age. I truly love being with little ones and creating a calm, loving environment where they feel safe, happy, and understood. When my own children were babies and toddlers, I made their baby food, followed gentle routines, and focused on healthy meals, naps, and lots of one-on-one attention — and I bring that same thoughtful, nurturing care to the families I work with. I believe children learn best through connection and play, so I spend time on the floor engaging with little ones, reading stories, encouraging imaginative play, and getting outside for fresh air and nature walks whenever possible. I’m patient, warm, and very reliable, and I understand how important trust is when you leave your child with someone. I also know that with children, not every moment runs perfectly — and that’s okay. I stay calm, flexible, and supportive when days feel busy or unpredictable. I’m also very comfortable caring for school-age children and helping them stay engaged after busy school days with reading, creative activities, and homework support or gentle direction as needed. I provide in-home care and do not transport children by car, but I’m happy to walk children to and from nearby schools, parks, or activities when appropriate. I value working in partnership with parents, respecting family routines and parenting styles, and communicating openly about each child’s needs and progress. I’m attentive about safety and creating a secure environment, and families can count on me to be punctual and dependable. I’m also comfortable around pets — I’ve cared for fish, guinea pigs, and reptiles, and I adore dogs (cats are lovely too!). I’m happy to provide both consistent weekday care and dependable evening or date-night help so parents can feel confident and at ease. What families can count on from me: 💚Calm, attentive care for infants & toddlers 💚Engaging floor play, reading, & outdoor time 💚Homework help & supportive routines for school-age kids 💚Support with meals, snacks, & nap 💚A caregiver who partners with parents & respects family routines 💚Comfort in homes with pets 💚Reliable help for weekday care & evening/date nights

Arantxa $26 per hour for 1 child

I am a dedicated and compassionate nanny with over five years of hands-on experience caring for children ranging from 3 months to 9 years old. I am a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), which has strengthened my ability to provide attentive, safe, and nurturing care in a variety of situations. As a person working with older people, infants, kids and their moms we are required to have all vaccines, clean background and 100% free of any type of drug. I have a finance degree, but I'm pursuing Nursing right now. I pride myself on being patient, reliable, and highly attentive to each child’s individual needs. My experience includes working with children with ADHD & autism, where I’ve developed a strong understanding of how to create supportive, structured, and engaging environments that help children thrive. I am committed to fostering a positive, safe, and stimulating atmosphere where children feel comfortable, valued, and encouraged to grow. Whether assisting with daily routines, educational activities, or emotional support, I always aim to provide dependable, high-quality care tailored to each family.

Mafe $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Mafe, second year au pair (nanny) from South America. In Colombia I was a preschool English teacher and a babysitter. I have experience with big groups of kids and all ages (especially infants and toddlers) During my first year in the US I was taking care of two girls (3 and 5 years) and now, I am taking care of three kids (1, 4 and 6 years). I am a responsible, calm, creative, empathetic and loving person! I have lots of childcare experience. I love spending time with kids because of their energy and happiness, and if I have the materials, I love doing lots of activities, crafts and playtime. I am open to watch kids during daynights, daytime babysitting, going out, making craft, playdates, playtime, reading books, etc.

"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)."
