👋 Hello Families! My name is Maria del Mar Guzman, and I am a Colombian caregiver with extensive experience working with children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. 💛 I am an active, responsible, punctual, patient, and loving person who truly enjoys supporting children’s development in a safe and nurturing environment. 👩‍🏫 I worked as a preschool and elementary teacher in Colombia for three years, and I am currently six months away from graduating with a degree in Foreign Languages with an emphasis in English. My background in pedagogy allows me to create educational, engaging, and age appropriate activities. 🌈 I have experience working with children with special needs, including autism and physical disabilities. One of my strongest qualities is my emotional intelligence I handle tantrums and emotional moments calmly, with empathy and structure. 🎨 I love crafts, creative projects, outdoor activities, and organizing fun routines that help children develop important skills. 🧁 I also enjoy cooking and baking, and I’m happy to help with light household tasks related to the children, such as tidying up, doing laundry, washing dishes, preparing simple breakfasts or meals, and keeping things organized (light cleaning not deep cleaning). 🚗 I have my own transportation and can assist with school drop offs, pick ups, and errands. 📅 Availability: I am currently seeking a part-time position Monday through Friday, starting at any time until 12 PM, as well as occasional one-day or temporary shifts. I am not available Monday through Friday after 12pm . If you are looking for a reliable, energetic, and nurturing caregiver who values education, organization, and communication, I would love to connect and schedule a call! 🤗✨

Maria was a great nanny! I can’t recommend her enough! She has been a lifesaver helping us take care of our infant. I have even referred her to my best friend who has 3 and 6 year old kids.

Kaila Fairfax
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Kaila. I've been working with kids and pets since I was 14, and caregiving has always come naturally to me. For the past four years, I have done ABA therapy as a behavioral therapist working with children ages 2-18. I'm also the oldest in my family, so I grew up helping raise all the younger kids. I used to work as a vet tech and I have three dogs of my own, so I'm very comfortable with animals. I'm starting my master's program this fall and looking for a family who needs someone patient, reliable, and experienced.

"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)."
