Hello, my name is Sandra, I am 21 years old, and I am offering my services as a babysitter. I love children.

Raufjon $30 per hour for 1 child

I hope you’re doing well! My name is Rauf, and I’m an experienced caregiver with a passion for working with children. I have over 10 years of tutoring experience, so I’d be happy to help with homework or provide extra academic support while caring for your child. In addition to tutoring, I have experience in childcare, creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment. Whether it’s engaging in creative play, assisting with schoolwork, or ensuring a smooth bedtime routine, I always strive to make each child feel comfortable and supported. I’m reliable, and patient, and I always prioritise safety while making sure your little one has a great time. I’d love to chat and see how I can help your family.

Lillian $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Lillian, and I’m a dedicated, reliable caregiver with several years of hands-on childcare experience. I truly love working with children and take pride in building strong, trusting relationships with both kids and parents. I most recently worked with a wonderful family for over a year, starting when their children were 1.5 and 3 years old. Our time together recently ended only because the parents were welcoming a new baby and planned to stay home full-time. I’m happy to provide excellent references from past families. I enjoy keeping children engaged and active—whether that’s park outings, museum trips, storytime, or creative play at home. I always focus on creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where kids can grow and feel supported. I have my own car and insurance and am currently looking for part-time or full-time work. I take my role seriously and treat every family I work with like my own. I’d love to connect and answer any questions you may have!

"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)."
