Sofia $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I'm Sofia. My experience with childcare started in a garden. There I had the opportunity to care for a group of 15 children from 2 to 4 years old. There with the children we had a lot of fun, they were taught many things through crafts, we did outdoor activities, we painted, we danced. We accompanied them at lunch and snack. So later I had the opportunity to take care of a 12 year old girl and a 9 year old boy. I currently take care of 4 children (3, 6, 9 and 13 years old). I have experience in caring for infants, toddlers, 6 years old, 9 years old and teenagers. I’m an active person, I love cooking and play with kids. I enjoy outdoor activities and do crafts.

Lillian $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Lillian, and I’m a caring, energetic, and reliable sitter with experience working with kids, pets, and families of all kinds. Growing up, I coached a soccer team for kids ages 5-9, which taught me patience, creativity, and how to keep kids engaged and having fun. I’ve also babysat children of various ages, so I understand how to adapt to different personalities and needs. In addition, I’ve cared for both dogs and cats, so I’m more than happy to help out with your furry family members. I pride myself on being responsible, organized, and warm, creating a safe and nurturing environment for kids to thrive in. Whether it’s playing games, helping with homework, or preparing meals, I always aim to bring a positive attitude and a sense of fun to every task. I’d love to help make your day easier by providing excellent care for your little ones! Feel free to reach out with any questions—I’m excited to work with your family!

Sasha $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Sasha, and I’m a responsible, caring, and dependable college student with years of childcare experience. I currently work at a development center where I care for children ages 6 months to 1 year old in my classroom, helping create a safe and engaging environment for infants during such an important stage of development. I have been babysitting since middle school and have experience caring for children of almost all ages. Growing up with a younger brother who I helped care for also gave me hands-on experience from an early age and strengthened my love for working with kids. From helping with homework and keeping children entertained to preparing simple meals and bottles, bedtime routines, I understand how important it is for families to have someone dependable and trustworthy. I also volunteered at my preschool growing up, which helped me build patience and a strong connection to childcare early on. I’m patient, energetic, and naturally great with kids, and I enjoy creating a safe and environment. In addition to childcare, I’m comfortable helping with pets and light household tasks like tidying up, dishes, laundry, and keeping spaces organized. I value kindness, communication, and reliability, and my goal is to be someone your family can truly depend on!

"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)."
