Ciara $20 per hour for 1 child

My name is Ciara, and I am excited to express my interest in being your nanny and becoming apart of the family! I have been a nanny for over 3–4 years, caring for children from newborns to toddlers, and I genuinely love what I do. My experience has allowed me to develop strong skills in child development, potty training, creating structured routines, and fostering nurturing, safe, and fun environments for children. One of my favorite experiences was watching a little girl grow from a 3-month-old into a confident 2-year-old. Being part of her milestones, from learning to walk and speak to potty training, was incredibly rewarding. I continue to check in on the children I’ve cared for because the bonds I build with them are deeper than just work—they feel like family. I am extremely reliable, trustworthy, and attentive, and I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident in the person caring for their children. References are absolutely no problem—I am happy to provide them at any time. I am also very comfortable caring for multiple children of different ages, planning engaging, age-appropriate activities, and ensuring children feel loved and supported every day. I am passionate about making a positive impact in children’s lives while supporting families in their daily routines.

"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)."
