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!

Hi, my name is Bella and I am currently a sophomore at Vanguard University. I am offering childcare, pet care, and household services! I love babysitting of all ages including newborns, toddlers, and kids and have been doing so since I was 15 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from activities or school, crafts, outside activities, and elementary tutoring. I have also worked as a household assistant. I can cook, clean, run errands, and house sit. I love pets as well and have 3 dogs of my own at home. I worked as a dog groomer for 3 years so I know how to take care of pets. I have also worked as a dog sitter.

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."

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)."
