Cris $40 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Cris :). I have been a professional personal child care provider for more than 10 years! I have experience with all ages. Being a child care provider allowed me to obtain experience in organizing children’s daily schedules, which included meals, school, and recreational activities. I also enjoy doing fun art creative projects with the kids. I love to inspire and engage children and youth into the art world and to help them gain a boost of confidence through the creation of art. As a child it is important to develop senses such as self gratitude and self love. I witnessed and absorbed how art is a way that can heal and help a child who struggles to learn academically or who faces emotional and mental challenges. It allows a child to have expression, create coping skills, and strengthen their sense of self. I am certified in CPR. I’m also a responsible, patient, and trustworthy person and I always prioritize the well-being and happiness of the children in my care. I’m also a animal lover and don’t mind being around any fur babies if you have any. I am looking forward to hearing from you and I wish you the best of luck with your search! :)

Betty $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Betty. I bring a calm, warm, and dependable presence into the home and truly enjoy supporting children as they grow, learn, and feel secure. I believe in creating a loving environment where children feel safe and happy, while also maintaining gentle structure and consistency throughout the day. I hold three associate degrees in Child Development, Behavioral Science, and Communication, which give me a strong foundation in understanding how children develop and thrive. Along with my education, I have many years of hands-on experience caring for infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children, guiding them through important milestones with patience and encouragement. I have extensive experience in infant care, including feeding, diapering, and establishing healthy sleep routines. With the Austin family, I provided consistent, attentive care and helped create a peaceful, structured environment. Her parents often shared how much they appreciated my reliability, attentiveness, and the sense of trust and comfort I brought into their home. In addition to my professional experience, I teach religious education for preschool-aged children, which reflects my faith-centered values and my commitment to guiding children with kindness, respect, and purpose. I truly see each child as a gift and feel honored to support families by providing dependable, heartfelt care they can trust.

"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."

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)."
