Katie $30 per hour for 1 child

I am a 58 years old mother of 3 amazing daughters and am now a grandmother to a two year old with another on the way. My youngest daughter just graduated high school and is off to college so I am now free to commit to a family for child care or senior care. I have been a stay at home Mom with all 3 of my girls and have been helping with my Grandson since the day he was born. I also have experience with seniors. When both of my in-laws became sick with dementia and cancer I moved them both into my house and provided round the clock care for them for several years until they moved into hospice. I have always enjoyed being a caregiver. It comes naturally to me. I am very responsible, trustworthy and loyal and I take great pride in any work I do. I am CPR certified, have a 2025 Outback with insurance and have a clean record. **I do have allergies to cats and dogs and it can be quite severe so unfortunately I can only work in a pet free home.** Thank you for your consideration

Tracy $25 per hour for 1 child

Well hello lovelies! My name is Tracy and I am looking for a really wonderful family that is looking for a "partner" in their nanny. Over 20 years of experience of both long and short term care. Experienced with newborns, toddlers, multiples, older children and everything in between!! I consider myself your "right arm" and take my job seriously. It's all about connecting and engaging with your child. Knowing how to navigate big emotions and finding fun activities to redirect helps kids learn how to self soothe! I love to read, be outdoors and find play time activities that make everyone's heart sing. Clean background check, resume, CPR/First Aid Certified, clean DMV with excellent references!

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)."
