JayDa $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m JayDa! I’m a 20-year-old nursing student working toward my goal of becoming a nurse. I have caregiving experience with individuals of all ages, from infants (1 year old) to seniors (65+), and I’m comfortable providing care for those with medical and physical disabilities. Babysitting and caregiving allow me to do what I truly love. By creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment while supporting growth, comfort, and independence. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive, with a strong passion for helping others. I also have self-defense training, which adds an extra layer of awareness and preparedness to ensure safety in any environment. In addition to childcare, I have housekeeping experience, including light cleaning, organization, laundry, and maintaining a clean and safe home. I’m a responsible driver with over 3 years of driving experience and can assist with transportation, errands, and school or activity drop-offs as needed. I’m great with animals of all kinds and have experience with pet care and walking. Families can feel confident knowing their children, loved ones, home, and pets are in capable, caring, and safety-conscious hands. Certifications: Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), Basic Life Support (BLS), Teacher’s Assistant.

Iliana 1 review
$28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Iliana (Illy), and I offer reliable childcare and household support for families looking for someone responsible, attentive, and genuinely caring. I have experience working with children ages 3–12 through after-school programs, summer camps, and daycare settings. I’m also comfortable caring for infants through teenagers (up to 15) from experience through my own family. My experience includes supervising daily routines, engaging kids in activities, maintaining a safe environment, and supporting structured schedules. In addition to childcare, I also provide household help, including light cleaning, cooking, and running errands. I’m organized, dependable, and respectful of family routines and expectations. I’m a cat lover and very comfortable working in homes with cats. I am comfortable with dogs but they can be super needy sometimes, haha. My availability is weekday mornings and full days on weekends up to 7 PM, and I’m happy to discuss consistent schedules or specific needs. I take trust seriously and aim to be someone families can rely on and feel comfortable welcoming into their home.

“Iliana is a very trustworthy babysitter, and I would definitely recommend her.”

Juliane $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Julie, and I’m a dedicated, patient, and energetic nanny with over two years of full-time childcare experience. Before becoming a nanny, I worked as an ESL teacher for children ages 4–14, where I developed a love for helping kids learn and grow through engaging, age-appropriate activities. I’ve cared for infants, toddlers, twins, and school-aged children, supporting everything from developmental milestones and language skills to homework, creative play, and daily routines. I’ve also worked alongside occupational and speech therapists, reinforcing children’s goals at home with consistency and encouragement. I believe every child deserves to feel safe, valued, and confident. I strive to create a nurturing environment filled with learning, creativity, and fun while maintaining clear communication with parents. I’m CPR & First Aid certified, fluent in English, and always bring a positive, reliable attitude to every family I work with. I look forward to finding a family where I can make a meaningful, long-term impact!

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."
