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.

Amiyah $20 per hour for 1 child

I have extensive childcare experience, having worked with multiple families and taken child development courses in high school. I also volunteered at a local daycare, which strengthened my ability to engage with children in a structured environment. Patience, communication, and empathy are at the core of my caregiving style. I'm naturally nurturing and always strive to create a warm, supportive environment. Beyond childcare, I am highly responsible and organized-I've successfully run my own business since high school, refining my time management and multitasking skills. I am also CPR-certified and prepared to handle emergencies with confidence. Additionally, I'm comfortable assisting with household tasks such as cleaning, cooking, and helping with homework. My goal is to provide excellent care while making daily life easier for the family. I'd love the opportunity to bring my skills and dedication to your home!

Miranda $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I'm Miranda. After spending most of my adult life in the corporate world, I'm now pursuing my true passion—caring for children—as I seek a fulfilling career change. I graduated from the University of Connecticut in 2017 with a degree in Sports Marketing. As the youngest of three siblings and a devoted animal lover, I bring warmth, energy, and a nurturing spirit to everything I do. Growing up in a home where childcare was a part of daily life, I’ve gained invaluable experience caring for children from a very young age. With a mother who has been a nanny for many years and ran a daycare out of our home, I’ve been around children for as long as I can remember. I have hands-on experience caring for children aged 9 months to 11 years and have built lasting relationships with families, some for as long as three years. I am passionate about providing a nurturing and joyful environment for children of all ages and personalities. My caring and energetic nature allows me to engage kids in outdoor activities, creative play, and anything else that brings them happiness. I look forward to bringing my love for children and commitment to their well-being to your family.

"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)."
