Cynthia $35 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Cynthia I am bilingual Spanish-English I am American citizen. I have a bachelor’s degree in Early childhood education. With over 8 years of experience as a bilingual preschool teacher and 2 years as a professional nanny, ages 6 months to 8 years old. I have developed a strong foundation in child development, behavior management, and creating engaging learning environments. I am passionate about fostering positive growth in children and tailoring my care to fit each child’s unique needs. Being bilingual in Spanish and English allows me to help children develop language skills in both languages, which I’ve found to be incredibly rewarding for both children and parents. If your family values fostering bilingualism, I’d love the opportunity to bring this additional skill to your household. I’ve been blessed to form deep, lasting connections with the families I’ve worked with—so much so that they consider me a part of their own family. Even though many of the children I’ve cared for are now off to school, I still stay in touch with them and their families. I truly cherish hearing about their milestones and watching them grow, and it brings me so much joy to remain a part of their lives, no matter how much time has passed. Thank you for visiting my profile. -Cynthia.

Emily $30 per hour for 1 child

I'm a trauma-informed doula and pursuing studies in Human Development, Early Childhood Education and Psychology. In the last 10years, I have gained experience in caring for mothers from pregnancy to post-partum and children from newborns to teens. Children's safety is my number 1 priority. I value & celebrate their developmental progression and share regressions. I heard I am kind, caring, compassionate, observant, patient, goofy and one-of-a-kind. I respect others beliefs and values and I'm easy to work with. I raised my family mostly outdoors exploring the natural environment. With my children's ages ranging from a kindergartener to a teenager, we spend our weekends picnicking, camping, swimming or boogie-boarding, bike-riding, strolling & laying on beaches, walking trails, finding tree tunnels and so much more. When indoors, we do art, we craft, make music and listen to them too AND we never pass up an opportunity to DANCE! With me, your kids will do all that you allow, pre-planned!

"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)."
