Kara $30 per hour for 1 child

In addition to my experience with my younger sister, I have experience with the elderly. In high school I volunteered with them. I read and did a variety of activities. I’m also an experienced dog owner. I grew up with dogs and also have had them in my adult life. I believe my years of experience coupled with my degree in communication makes me uniquely qualified.

Isabella $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m currently a student studying Disability Studies and I also work as a Registered Behavior Therapist. I’ve been working with kids for over 10 years, and it’s something I truly love :) I enjoy creating a fun and positive space where kids can be themselves and. Every child is so unique, and I love getting to know their personalities and what makes them light up. A little about me—I’m someone who loves adventure, being outdoors, trying new foods, and meeting new people. I’m all about finding joy in the little things and bringing that same energy into the families I work with. Whether it’s crafts, games, outdoor play, or simply being a dependable and caring presence, I love making meaningful connections with both kids and parents. I genuinely value every new family I meet and feel lucky to be part of their world, even in small ways!

Nora is an amazing nanny. She has been taking care of our two-year-old son several times when he was sick, and she was absolutely wonderful. Nora is incredibly attentive, thoughtful, and treats our son like her own grandchild. We love that she is always fully present and never on her phone. Instead, she is constantly engaging with him—singing, playing, and making sure he gets to play outside, which he absolutely enjoys. We trust her completely and highly recommend her!

Theresa $32 per hour for 1 child

Hi I’m Theresa. I am 34 years old. I am a nanny, sitter, and mother’s helper. I have over 15 years of experience in newborn care all the way up to teenagers. I am a mother to four wonderful daughters so I have personal experience due to raising my own children. I have always enjoyed caring for children. It truly brings me so much joy. I handle all aspects of care such as bathing, potty training, meal prep, driving to and from activities. I am kind, gentle, warm, and engaging. I stick to routines and stay consistent with the schedule. I consider myself long term as I have worked for families that have lasted over 5 years. My typical schedule can be anywhere from 8:30/9:00am to 5/5:30pm daily. I can do school pickup and drop off in needed. I also provide date night and overnight care and can occasionally provide care during the weekends. Some things I enjoy doing with children under my care are picnics at the park, play dates, reading, playgrounds, library, games, and art with the children. I truly have so much to offer. References available upon request. Thank you.

"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)."
