Hello Families of SitterCity! I have decided to open my availability to start scheduling “date night”, weekend & occasional sitting! I am a full time nanny, but when you love what you do, doing it all the time makes it easy to do! I love helping, spending time with and teaching children of all ages. I have an extensive background in healthcare as a Certified Medical Assistant and FDA Study Research Coordinator (4 ½ years in Pediatrics, 7 weeks years in Women’s Health/OBGYN and 1 year in Cardiology). I was in Nursing School, but had to stop when my mom became ill. I hope to soon obtain my Newborn Care Specialist certificate, and I am also perusing my Doula birth/labor and postpartum certification. My passion for helping people goes way beyond an “office” setting. I truly enjoy spending time with an entire family and helping out in all aspects. I’ve been with my current nanny family for 18 months, since their little one was 3 months old. The family I was with prior I was with for 2 year (since their little one was 2 months). I’ve also been a medical caregiver for 2 years for a little one who was born at 24 weeks. I worked directly with his care team including Infants & Toddlers, PT/OT/SLP, developmental pediatrician and primary pediatrician and GI. I have always loved children and families, and both of my older sisters turned to me for help after their had their kids (I have 4 nephews). Many parents/grandparents have called me the “baby whisperer”. My currently availability is: weekends, weekday evenings (“Date night”), and occasional Fridays after 1pm. I have extensive experience caring for children, both well and sick, special needs, and I am also able to do overnight stays! I'd love to care for your children, too! I started babysitting when I was a young teen for families in the neighborhood, and younger members in my own family. I'm professional, trustworthy, patient, experienced and organized, and know how to be fun and silly with little ones (and don’t mind digging in the dirt, playing with sidewalk chalk, or mixing up a fresh batch of playdoh).

Hello families, My name is Rafaela, and caring for children is truly something that comes from my heart. I have experience with children from newborns through 12 years old, and I genuinely love being part of their growth, milestones, and everyday little moments. With infants, I am gentle, patient, and attentive to feeding routines, sleep schedules, and developmental needs. With toddlers and older children, I focus on creating a loving yet structured environment where they feel safe, understood, and encouraged to learn and explore. What makes me different is the emotional connection I build with the children I care for. I don’t just supervise — I nurture, guide, and support them with kindness and consistency. I understand how important it is for parents to trust the person caring for their children, and I take that responsibility very seriously. My goal is to create a calm, positive space where children feel secure, valued, and happy — and where parents feel complete peace of mind knowing their little ones are in caring and capable hands. I am looking for a long-term, full-time position where I can truly become part of your family and make a meaningful difference in your child’s daily life. I would love to connect and learn more about your family 💛

I’m a qualified nanny for 3 years and have experience in a licensed child care facility. I have extra availability this week due to my current family I work for being out of town. I have my own car and license, CPR/first aid certified, comfortable with pets, and I have lesson planning experiences. I naturally connect with children, understanding their unique needs, and building trust. I’m patient, adaptable, and prioritize their safety. Creativity and education are at the forefront of my approach, and I aim to make learning fun. Reliability is my strength; I’m punctual and consistent. Open and clear communication with both children and parents is essential to me.

I absolutely enjoy taking care of children of all ages. It is wonderful to watch childern learn and grow. Every since I was a young child I had a passion for children and taking care of them. I started of working at a day care center where I was an Assistant Teacher in a infant classroom. I loved it very much and very shortly discovered child care is truly my passion. I felt like I was a mom coming to work to take care of my own children. Parents at the day care center began communicating with me realizing that I was a natural when it came to child care and ask if I could babysit their babies and older children on the weekend. Than I bacame a nanny for twin boys for two and a half years. I had a great experience nannying. I have a 90 hour child care certificate and a Child Development Associatecertified also I'm First Aide and CPR certified.
