Carol $30 per hour for 1 child

My name is Carol, and I am a compassionate, dependable, and hardworking caregiver with over 6 years of experience. I worked for 5 years as a Nursing Assistant in Colombia, caring for seniors by assisting with personal care, mobility, companionship, meal preparation, and daily activities. During the past year, I also cared for two children, a 6-month-old baby and a 5-year-old, providing a safe, loving, and engaging environment. I also have professional experience cleaning homes and am happy to help with housekeeping, laundry, dishes, organizing, and meal preparation to keep your home clean and comfortable. In my free time, I worked as a dog walker, so I am comfortable caring for pets, taking them on walks, feeding them, and giving them plenty of attention. Families describe me as patient, trustworthy, organized, and caring. I always treat every child, senior, and pet with kindness, respect, and genuine compassion.

Hi! My name is Kate, and I offer childcare, household support, and pet sitting. I am an experienced and reliable babysitter with several years of childcare experience. I have cared for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children, including multiple children at once. I assist with school routines, educational support, creative activities, and daily care. In addition to childcare, I am comfortable helping with cooking, cleaning, dog walking, and errands. I take pride in being organized, trustworthy, and attentive to each child’s needs.

Kate was a terrific sitter for my 3- and 5-year-old boys. When she arrived she immediately engaged them in activities and was so enthusiastic and attentive. She also kept an open line of communication throughout the day, keeping me updated via text- which I really appreciated!

"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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"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)."
