Zeynep $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Zeynep and I provide childcare, pet care, and elder care services. I have a bachelor’s degree in Child Development and about 7 years of experience working with children. I have worked in kindergartens, schools, hospitals, orphanages, and special education centers through internships. For the last 1.5 years, I have been taking care of children in the United States. I mostly work with children who are 2 years old and older. My duties have included driving children to school, classes, or appointments, preparing healthy meals and snacks, organizing play and storage areas, making arts and crafts, helping with homework, and doing light cleaning related to children. I also helped take care of my grandmother and have experience with elder care, such as helping with bathing, nail care, and preparing healthy meals. I enjoy talking and spending time with elderly people. I love animals, especially cats. I have two cats, so I have experience with cat care. I don’t have dog care experience, but I am happy to work with families who have dogs. I am responsible, caring, and love creating a safe and happy environment for children and seniors!

Hi my Names Susana but you can call me Susie ☺️. Im 27 years old & have several years of experience caring for children 2yrs+ & as well as supporting seniors 70 yr+. Growing up I helped care for many cousins, nieces and nephews, which naturally shaped who I am today 💕 I’m currently a part time skin therapist & am actively deepening my craft+ skills! Through my work I’ve developed a passion for supporting others in managing daily life & it’s just something I really value! That same care and attentiveness from both my home life and professional experience is reflected in how I show up for the families I work with. I am patient, attentive, and prioritize safety while keeping things lighthearted, structured, and engaging.

Nathalia 2 reviews
$26 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Nathalia! I've been caring for kids since I was young — babysitting toddlers through school-age children for family and family friends for as long as I can remember. I also spent about a year and a half as a preschool aide working with children ages 2–4, supporting early learning in a structured classroom setting. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Psychology, which gives me a helpful lens for understanding how kids think, communicate, and grow. Beyond childcare, I'm also comfortable with well-trained pets and happy to help with furry family members too! What I love most about caregiving is building genuine connections — kids have such curious, energetic minds, and I find so much joy in being a trusted, nurturing presence for them.

We’ve used Nathalia several times, for years, and for both my kids and she’s exceptional! Nathalia is reliable, professional, and truly loved by my kids. She’s patient, creative, and consistently follows our dietary needs and preferred activities with care. Always on time, always kind, always dependable. A genuinely outstanding person. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter that you can feel comfortable leaving your kids with, knowing they will be perfectly cared for.

Chiamaka 2 reviews
$30 per hour for 1 child

I'm a warm and caring individual with experience looking after kids and seniors. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Physics and a Diploma in Montessori. I'm First Aid (Pediatric First Aid CPR AED) qualified, patient, and bubbly. I love creating fun, safe environments and handling household tasks like meal prep and tidying. I'm trustworthy, responsible, and happy to make families feel at home. I enjoy building connections with the little ones, reading stories, playing games, and encouraging their curious minds. For older ones, I love chats, helping with hobbies, or just being a comforting presence. I'm flexible with hours, and I'm looking forward to caring for your family. Thank you!

Chiamaka was once a care giver for my younger kids. She is diligent and passionate with her job. Chiamaka’s job description was less of her duties due to her unwavering care over the kids place under her care. She goes out of way teaching them by engaging them with activities to calm the kids down. My son was mostly fond of her after school care due to her professional impact on him. I would recommend her for family support, child or adult care. She is capable.

"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)."
