Sharon $30 per hour for 1 child

I have worked with elementary school children ever since I was in middle school in a variety of settings: afterschool care jobs, tutoring, and dance class teachers. I graduated with my undergraduate degree in elementary special education and was a teacher in Hawaii for 3.5 years and tutored for more years in California. I am currently a mental health therapist and have worked with children and teens.

Kareen $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Kareen, and as a mother myself, I understand that nothing is more important than the safety and happiness of your children. I’ve spent years caring for my son and helping out families in my neighborhood, and I truly love what I do. I am an active, hands-on caregiver who prefers to be "in the mix" rather than on the sidelines. Whether we are playing outside, mastering a new card game, or spending a rainy afternoon baking in the kitchen, I aim to make every day fun and engaging. What I bring to your home: I am CPR/AED certified and have extensive experience managing severe nut allergies, so I am always hyper-vigilant about food safety. I’m happy to assist with meal prep, grocery shopping, school pickups, and getting the kids to dance or sports practice. I am a lifelong animal lover! I’ve raised everything from hamsters to a Macaw, so your furry (or feathered) friends will be in great hands. I also have a heart for senior companionship and am happy to assist with errands or check-ins for elderly family members. I look forward to meeting your family!

"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)."
