Veronica $25 per hour for 1 child

šŸ‘‹šŸ½Hi! I have extensive experience working with children of all ages, from 3 months to 12 years old. I started at a kids academy where I led creative activities, games, and age-appropriate play. I'm currently a full-time nanny for two school-aged boys, and I also frequently babysit for local families in my neighborhood. Through babysitting, I've cared for children as young as infants, and I'm a regular sitter for a family with a 10 month old and 3-year-old. Because of this, I'm very comfortable adapting to different age groups and their unique needs, especially with babies and toddlers, where I have the most hands-on experience. What I love most about working with kids is that every child is so different. I really enjoy getting to know their personalities, interests, and what makes them feel comfortable, and then tailoring activities and routines to fit them. I'm very hands-on, patient, and naturally energetic. I love being outside, staying active, and keeping kids engaged-whether that's playing games, doing crafts, or just making everyday routines fun. I bring a calm, positive energy while still being someone kids can have fun with and trust. I'm also very clean and organized, and I always make sure to leave a home better than I found it. I genuinely enjoy being a caregiver and creating a safe, supportive, and fun environment for kids.

Ana $30 per hour for 1 child

I’m a 28-year-old caregiver who is responsible, patient, and genuinely passionate about working with children. I have several years of experience caring for kids of different ages, and I always focus on creating a safe, loving, and nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, and feel supported. I started gaining experience in Brazil, where I worked as a babysitter for about two years. During that time, I cared for children of different ages and learned how important patience, communication, and creativity are when working with kids. I later worked at a school as a teacher assistant, where I helped support classroom activities, assisted children with their learning, and contributed to maintaining a positive and structured environment. I also spent two years working as an au pair in the United States, which allowed me to expand my childcare experience while living with a host family and being fully involved in the children’s daily routines. Since completing my au pair program, I’ve continued working as a nanny. One of my most special experiences was caring for a baby who was 5 months old when I started. By the time I left, she was around 16 months old and beginning to take her first steps. It was truly an honor to be part of such an important stage of her development and to witness her growth day by day. In addition to infant care, I also have experience with toddlers through both nanny positions and occasional babysitting jobs. I’m comfortable helping with daily routines such as feeding, diaper changes, naps, playtime, outdoor activities, and supporting early learning through reading, music, and play. Families often describe me as calm, loving, and very dependable. I believe children thrive when they feel safe, respected, and cared for, and I always do my best to build trusting relationships with both children and parents.

"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)."
