Hello, My name is Martina, I'm 27 years old and from SPAIN (yeah, I can teach spanish to your kids!) I have +7 years of experience with kids: I used to work as a music teacher with kids and teens in Spain. And the last few years I’ve been working as an aupair, nanny, baby-nurse and spanish-tutor. I love being outside around nature and I love baking. I’d love to share my mediterranean culture with your kids! I can be very flexible with schedules and also working on extra nanny work (groceries, tidying up, laundry, picking up/dropping packages) I really like to work in a kind environment. It’s important for me to feel that we are a team! Contact me if you're interested about it. I’d love to meet your family(:

I am delighted to recommend Martina who helps my family on weekends. She has an incredible knack for connecting with children. Her warm and engaging nature makes her a natural with kids. She seamlessly incorporates Spanish into their daily activities, fostering a bilingual environment that has greatly benefited my toddler. Beyond her childcare skills, Maria is also an excellent cook. She prepares delicious, healthy meals and is is always happy to help with clean-up and even manages to keep up with the laundry, making our lives much easier. Intelligent and thoughtful, Martina adapts quickly to our family's needs. She is consistently reliable, arriving on time and ready to engage. Her commitment and care go above and beyond, making her an invaluable part of our household. I wholeheartedly recommend Matina to any family seeking a dedicated, talented, and dependable 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."

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)."
