Camila $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Camila, and I offer child care and household support services. I love working with children and have experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids in a daycare setting. My responsibilities have included supervising meals and playtime, diaper changes, potty training support, preparing nap areas, helping with nap time routines, and keeping spaces clean and organized. I’m very comfortable supporting daily routines and creating a safe, structured, and caring environment for children. I enjoy doing arts and crafts, reading, outdoor play, and fun learning activities that help kids stay engaged and creative. I can also help with homework support, basic tutoring, and maintaining routines. In addition to childcare, I can assist with household tasks such as light cleaning, organizing, dishes, laundry, and meal prep support. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and comfortable helping families stay organized and on track throughout the day. I have a background in medical assisting and have completed externships at Lifelong Medical Care Clinic and B12 Love Lounge, which strengthened my skills in safety, communication, and caregiving. I currently also work as a lead coach at The Practice Space, where I support communication, confidence-building, and responsibility. I’m comfortable working with pets and happy to help wherever I’m needed to support the family.

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.”

Kamerin $27 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Kam 😊 I’m a caring, dependable, and patient caregiver with 3–5 years of experience caring for children, seniors, and pets. I love being someone families can feel comfortable and confident leaving their loved ones with. I’m great with keeping kids engaged, happy, and entertained while also making sure their routines and needs are taken care of. I’m comfortable with meals, playtime, reading, creative activities, tidying up, bedtime routines, and helping keep things running smoothly. I’m also comfortable caring for pets and providing companionship and support to seniors. I’m naturally attentive, responsible, and easygoing, but I also understand the importance of structure, safety, and following each family’s specific routines and preferences. I’ll always communicate clearly and treat your home and loved ones with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and be someone you can count on! 💛

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.

"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)."
