Valeria $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi. My name is Valeria, I'm 26 years old, I speak Spanish. I’m a responsible, affectionate, and patient person. I enjoy playing with children and supporting them in their daily activities. I always try to share joy and create a calm, positive environment for the children and people around me. I also love animals, so I feel comfortable taking care of both children and pets when needed. My English level is basic/intermediate but I'm still learning. I don't have my own car but I do have a driver's license. I currently work in a bakery as a decorator, which allows me to be creative and enjoy making different things.

Hazel $25 per hour for 1 child

Nurturing young minds and supporting families is my passion. For the past two years, I've had the joy of caring for children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens. I am patient, creative, and approachable, with a knack for engaging kids in fun, educational activities like outdoor sports, board games, and puzzles. I'm comfortable enforcing household rules and always provide parents with regular updates via text or phone call, tailoring my communication to your preferences. I am CPR and First Aid certified, have my own car, and am comfortable with pets. Speaking both English and Spanish, I am eager to connect with your child and create a positive, enriching experience. My goal is to be more than just a caregiver; I want to be someone your child looks forward to seeing each day.

Ana $25 per hour for 1 child

I’m a single mother raising one daughter, she’s a very smart and ambitious young girl but regardless of how well behaved she is now that she is older, it was very difficult to get here. Like most kids there will be a lot of different personality phases that they go through having experienced it first hand I know how difficult it is to take care of children. I have had experience with my one and only daughter but also in my past career as a dental assistant in pediatric care, I saw all types of kids, kids who are well mannered to kids who who seem to lack that respectful aspect to a person. And through my career and status of being a single mother it taught me to be patient and to understand that not every kid is the same. And thankfully for me personality wise I'm a very understanding and energetic person, I have a true passion for kids and I love taking care of them as I would my own, and no matter the kind of kid I'm babysitting for, I always remain gentle, patient, energetic, and kind! Because sometimes that's all a kid needs.

"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)."
