I grew up in a family of 5 and I’m the middle child, we all have children and I’m surrounded by children. I love to cook, I’m a very good cook and grocery shopper as well! I love children. I have 2 grandchildren and they are the light of my light. I helped raise them until they moved to Oklahoma when they were 9 and 11. I cooked, cleaned, took them to church, school, helped with homework, all the extra things their Mom needed help with. My mother lived with me the last 5 years of her life. She was sick the last 2. She was on home hospice with me the last 6 months of her life and I was her caregiver. When I was in my early 20’s I was a CNA in a couple of nursing homes, so I knew what to do. I took the last year of work off to be with her. I loved taking care of her. I’m a very loving Christian woman and I would love to take care of your family. I love dogs too and I’m happy to pet sit as well! I have decided to not go back to high pressure sales and be of service to a nice family that needs a nice older woman that has some energy and experience.

Hello Family’s ! I would love to help make life a little easier for you with caring for your child(ren). A little bit about myself , I’m a super mom with 3 kiddos of my own , twins that are 17 as well as a 10 year old. I’m a stay at home mom SUPER mom who has been watching kiddos out of my home for the past seven years and I’m looking for a drop off situation at my place. I have worked with lots of great family’s on care.com as well as people who have traveled from out of town. My profile on care will speak for its self, it’s my my passion and drive for the love of my job, that so many people have given me so many great reviews. (45 + /five star reviews)I have an awesome set up at my place a big entertainment room with lots of toys, places for naps, and my neighborhood is quiet and a great place for walks . Also, I have a backyard that is kid-friendly, as well as a clean, non-smoking home. I don’t mind doing last-minute calls, as well as pet sitting and date nights on evenings and weekends . The wonderful thing about my schedule is it’s very flexible and I can accommodate to what you’re looking for. As a mom, I know how nerve wracking it can be leaving your child at home with someone you are not familiar with. But, I assure you my kind nature will make your kiddos feel right at home. I look forward to working with you ! Thanks for your time Kimberly

Wow so happy I found Kim! She is so professional with me and kind to my little one. It is a relief to find a sitter who takes such great care of the kiddos. My daughter loves all of the toys and activities Kim has at her house. She also loves the wagon rides and outdoor time in the sunshine. I feel Kim is super reliable and easy to chat with. I can’t recommend her enough!

Hi! My name is Monika. I am currently 25 years old. I am currently a Pediatric Nurse. I am CPR/AED & PALS certified. I have been working with kids since the age of 12 as I began to care for my siblings, cousins, and the children of many family friends. I have experience as a nanny taking care of infants and older children up to 13 years old. I am someone who is able to keep up with the energy and excitement young children have. I am someone who is kind, loving, patient, attentive, and is willing to be as goofy as needed in order to make the kids I care for feel comfortable and safe. I have experience in tutoring at an elementary level and middle school level in Spanish, language arts (writing & reading), science, social studies, and elementary math. A lot of my time has been spent volunteering at elementary and middle schools in helping children strengthen their academic skills. In my free time, I love cooking, painting, hiking, and hanging out with my golden-doodle Bruno. I am a native Spanish speaker but I am fluent in English. I am COVID vaccinated and boosted :) Hope to hear from you soon to get to know each other further!

Monika was right on time and had a game available to play with my son. Very friendly and responsible. Tucked my son into bed and was flexible on the arrival home. Definitely recommend! She was wonderful!

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
