I love babysitting because it allows me to build meaningful connections with children and be a positive part of their lives. With five years of experience, I have developed strong skills in caring for kids of different ages and understanding their unique personalities and needs. Being CPR certified gives me confidence in handling emergencies and ensuring a safe environment at all times. I truly enjoy engaging with children through creative play, helping with homework, and encouraging their curiosity and growth. One of the most rewarding parts of babysitting is watching the children I care for learn, develop new skills, and grow over time. I also believe that clear communication with parents is extremely important, as it helps build trust and ensures everyone is on the same page about the child’s needs and routines. Babysitting is more than just a job to me—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and feel passionate about every day.

My name is Luzmaria and I have 6 kids, oldest is 29 and my youngest is 9yrs old. I have a lot of experience with my kids and I would love to play a role in raising your kids as well, with your guidance on how you want them to be raised. I just want to play a role in making one child smile a day and give them the warmth they need. I have about 22 years of experience in CNA so caregiving is my passion.

"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)."
