Isabelle $23 per hour for 1 child
I am a caring, reliable, and patient nanny with several years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages. I have worked as a private nanny for the past four years, supporting families by creating a safe, nurturing, and structured environment where children can grow and thrive. I truly enjoy building strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents, and I take pride in being attentive to each child’s individual needs. With a background in caregiving and current studies in nursing, I bring a calm, responsible, and compassionate approach to childcare. My goal is always to support families by providing dependable care, encouragement, and positive guidance while treating every child as if they were my own.

hi families I'm looking a way to make extra money so I'm interested in occasional jobs. I'm not looking a babysitter position but I'll help with chores around the house, unboxing, light cleaning, go errands, etc ...

Cyntia $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi, I'm Cyntia! I'm a Fair Haven mom of two — a fun 2-year-old boy and a newborn baby — looking for babysitting in your home, with my little ones tagging along. My son loves playmates his age, and my baby mostly sleeps and feeds. I'm also a local pet groomer, so I'm used to responsibility, patience, and keeping little ones safe and happy. Happy to serve meals and snacks you've left prepared, and I bring food for my own little ones. Available Saturdays and Sundays, and I can also do weekdays for a couple of hours at a time.
Jill $25 per hour for 1 child
I have been working with families since 2009 as well as raising my own 3 children. I am a college graduate, and my CPR/First Aid certificates are up to date. I am punctual, reliable, responsible, friendly, and caring, as all my references will attest. I can also help with laundry, meal prep, and dishes. Pets are great if you have any.

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
