Hi! My name is Vanessa and I’m a caring, patient, and reliable caregiver with experience working with children of all ages. I currently serve as a kids’ ministry leader at my church, where I help support and teach young children in a safe, positive, and structured environment. I’ve also been a regular babysitter for several families over the years, helping with date nights, after-school care, and last-minute needs. Because of this, I’m very comfortable with routines, meals, homework help, crafts, bedtime, and keeping kids entertained without screens. Families describe me as gentle, responsible, and easy for kids to connect with. I’m also great with pets and can help with light cleaning while I’m here. My priority is always to make sure your children feel safe, cared for, and happy while you’re away. I’d love to support your family whenever you need an extra set of hands!

Hello - My name is Karyn. I have several years of cargiving experience, including; child and nanny care from ages 16 months to 13 years old, live in elder care, and pet sitting/dog walking. I feel that work in caring for others where support is needed is one of the most rewarding works that we can do. I also feel that as adults one of the most important things we can do is to help support and shape children into the adults they will become; practicing values, such as honesty and kindness, while honoring the childs path of becoming. I am a nature lover and I will be very happy to play with your children outdoors, sit outside and enjoy a breeze together, or take your furry companion on a walk. I also enjoy to play games, read books, and I love to cook, so I am happy to provide healthy meals according to dietary needs and requests. Please let me know if you have any questions and thank you for considering me for your cargiving position.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
