Amaya $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Amaya and I am a recent college graduate with a Bachelor's in Social Work and Policy Studies. I have a deep passion for child safety and welfare, and creating safe, nurturing environments where kids can truly thrive. My childcare experience spans several years, from helping care for children in my neighborhood growing up with my mother, to working at the YMCA with toddlers, to working at a daycare with children as young as 8 months through kindergarten age. I understand child development deeply, not just from hands-on experience but from my academic training in social work. I am warm, creative, and imaginative. I believe in getting kids engaged in play, art, and hands-on activities rather than screens. I bring energy and intentionality to every interaction. I respond quickly and communicate clearly with parents such as updates, photos, and check-ins are always part of my care. Beyond childcare, I am a previous cat owner and have pet sat dogs for friends, so I am comfortable with animals. I am also open to light household tasks as needed. I am reliable, professional, and easy to communicate with. I work well independently and show up prepared and on time.

Vania 2 reviews
$19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Vania , I’m 23 years old , and caring for children is something I genuinely enjoy and take a lot of pride in. I’ve had experience babysitting children ages 2–14 years old as well as nannying for newborns through 4 years old. Over time, I’ve learned that every child is different and as a parent myself I really enjoy getting to know their personalities , interests, and individual needs. I love keeping kids active and engaged, especially through outdoor activities, creative play, and age-appropriate activities. For toddlers and preschool-aged children, I enjoy helping them practice skills they’re learning and supporting their curriculum in a way that feels fun rather than like extra school. I’m also happy to help older children with homework, studying, and staying on top of their schoolwork. I’m comfortable with cooking and meal prep as well. I understand how important it is to pay attention to dietary restrictions and make sure children are eating meals and snacks that are safe and appropriate for them. Most importantly, I want the children I care for to feel comfortable, heard, and cared about. I’m not just there to “watch” them — I genuinely want to be someone they can have fun with, learn from, and feel safe around. I also understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable leaving their children with someone they trust, and I do my best to give families that peace of mind. I have my Child Abuse Clearance and I am fully vaccinated. I’m looking forward to meeting new families and creating a positive experience for both parents and children! ❤️

“Very good with newborn babies. takes very well care of my twins. Bathes them feeds them changes them and keeps them entertained when needed. Also tries to keep them on a set night routine and will keep me updated with whatever is going on before leaving”

"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)."
