Hello my name is marcala I’m 24 years old I’m currently a student at Northern Virginia community college.

I am comfortable taking care of children from 1 month to 8 years old. I enjoy reading, watching movies, going on walks and drawing . I work part time medical assistant and a full time student at nova. Im also cpr certified and also first aid trained. Thank you for considering me, I can’t wait to work y’all.

“Hello family, This letter is my personal character reference for Marcala Joseph. I have been a close friend of Marcala’s for 5 years and her immediate trainee for three. We both worked at a retail store and as caregiver back in 2018. In my interactions with her, l've found that she consistently exceeds expectations in her interpersonal skills, problem-solving abilities, and work ethic. She is a caring person, very patient and pay close at attention to details, with her past caregiver experience I believe she will be a great addition to your family. If you have any additional questions please feel free to reach out to me [email protected]. Thank you.”

Rita Isabel $20 per hour for 1 child

While my full name is Rita Isabel, I go by Isabel, and I am a single parent of a 13 y/o and aunt to a toddler and newborn. Becoming an aunt made me realize I actually enjoy spending time with children that aren't my own and I'm pretty good at it. Once upon a time I was a clinician but decided that public health is the field for me so being an urbansitter is a side gig that I enjoy and find fulfillment in. I am very responsible, detail oriented and enjoy games and crafts!

Yanina $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello my name is Yanina, I am 48 years old. I have been working as a nanny for 20 years now. I have experience with twins and kids from all ages. so far I have gotten the chance to work with many families in San Jose, Santa Clara, Los gatos, Mountain View, Palo Alto, and San Mateo. I speak two languages (Spanish and English). I also love and enjoy cooking and preparing meals for the kids that I watch. I like to make sure that what I cook for the kids is both filling and healthy. For me one of the most important things in watching a child is having patients and giving them as much love as they need. what I look forward to in a job is making sure that I can make both the family and the child or children happy.

"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)."
