$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I’ve been working with kids for over 10 years and am CPR and First-Aid certified, with my own reliable transportation. I’m patient, easygoing, and love keeping kids entertained whether it’s reading books, doing crafts, or just being silly together. When I’m not babysitting, I’m usually on the rails, hanging out at the library, or volunteering with kids’ academic programs during the summer. My schedule can vary since I have a fulltime job, but I always do my best to be flexible for the right family!

Cameron Torrance
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Cameron and I'm looking to babysit any age! I have worked with children from 1mo-13 years old. I've been working at an after school program teaching kindergarten for the past 2 years. This job consists of childcare, meals, and teaching all subjects! I absolutely adore kids and love the bonds that get created. I'm looking for a family that would be willing to let me watch their children, but also strengthen their brain with non- screen time activities! I have kittys and dogs at home, so I am more than comfortable taking care of your fur babies too! In 2027 I will be starting my nursing school and I hope to be a labor and delivery or nicu nurse. In the mean time, I'd love to be energetic and help your family out! My rate is 25/hr for 1 child, and for every extra child +5/hr. I look forward to getting in touch, answering your questions, and setting up a meet and greet to see if we fit!

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
