Gabrielle $21 per hour for 1 child

I'm a child & senior care provider with a deep passion for nurturing the growth and development of young minds. With various years of experience in providing reliable care for families, I've discovered that my patient and calm demeanor, combined with my creativity and imagination, makes me a hit with the loved ones I care for. I pride myself on being a friendly and approachable caregiver, always ensuring open and effective communication with parents. Whether it's through verbal communication during pickup, regular updates via text or phone calls, or adapting to the parents' preferred communication method, I make sure that parents are well-informed about their child's day and any issues that may arise. When it comes to enforcing household rules, I'm very comfortable taking charge and ensuring that children understand and adhere to them. I believe that consistency and structure are essential for children's well-being.

My name is Virginia Martinez. I’m offering child care and senior care. I raised two children. I did a lot of babysitting as a teen and I was a special education substitute teacher for about 6 years. I also took care of my aging parents when they were ill. I can read to your parents or walk with them so they can get their steps in! I can also take them to their doctor’s appointment or grocery shopping. I can cook, do light cleaning, run errands, help with homework, take kids to sports practice, and take seniors to doctor’s appointments. I have cats so I don’t mind fur on my clothes!

"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)."
