Aurora 3 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! I’m Aurora — I work in the medical field and have a genuine love for caring for others. I have experience with children of all ages, including those with autism, and I’m known for being patient, dependable, and easy to communicate with. Kids warm up to me quickly because I bring a calm but fun energy — I love reading stories, getting creative with crafts, spending time outdoors, and keeping things structured yet full of joy. Whether you need an occasional sitter, consistent help, or someone you can trust in a pinch, I’m here to make your life easier and your little ones feel safe and cared for. I treat every child like family and always show up with a smile and a helping heart. I’d love to connect and see how I can support your family — feel free to reach out anytime. P.S. I accept payment via cash, debit, or Zelle—whichever is most convenient for you

We couldn’t find a sitter my daughter liked until we met Aurora! She’s so kind and patient, and now my daughter actually looks forward to “Aurora days.”

Belen $20 per hour for 1 child

Providing nurturing care to children is essential, and it’s at the heart of the work I love to do. I’m patient, calm, and dedicated caregiver with years of experience supporting children in different stages of their development—from infants and toddlers to school-age kids. My approach is warm, attentive, and supportive, and I always strive to meet each child’s unique needs. I’m fully trained in First Aid and CPR, which allows me to respond confidently and responsibly in any situation. Safety is always my highest priority, and I’m mindful about creating an environment where children feel secure, understood, and encouraged to explore and grow. To help lighten your daily load, I’m also willing to assist with light housekeeping tasks such as tidying play areas, washing dishes, or helping with laundry. I believe a well-organized space helps create a calmer environment for both kids and parents. Above all, I’m excited to build a trusting relationship with your family. My goal is to create a safe, fun, and loving environment where your child feels valued, supported, and free to be themselves. I look forward to getting to know you and being a positive part of your child’s day-to-day life.

McKenna $24 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is McKenna, I have 4 years of babysitting experience with children of all ages. I currently work at a Child Therapy Center supporting children with developmental delays, which has given me a lot of hands-on experience working with kids of different needs and ages. I'm a college student, so babysitting is something I enjoy doing as a side job while putting myself through school. Families I work with often describe me as patient, responsible, and very dependable. I'm CPR, First Aid, and Water Safety certified, have my own reliable transportation, and love creating a safe, fun environment where kids can learn and enjoy themselves. I'm happy to help with homework, light housekeeping, carpooling, and pets if needed. I truly enjoy working with children and would love the opportunity to support 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."

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)."
