Hi, my name is Kathleen. I grew up with a lot of kids around me and started babysitting since i was 15. Love kids at any ages. Had the chance of caring newborn up to 12 years of age.

Kathleen quickly bonded with our daughter and made her feel comfortable, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. She was kind, attentive, and took great care of her. Thank you!

Hello! I'm Caroliny, a proud Brazilian mom to a 2 year old boy. I’m fluent in both English and Portuguese and have over 6 years of experience working with children of all ages. My experience includes caring for infants, toddlers, and older children, and I absolutely love being a part of their growth and development. I’m currently looking for a part-time babysitting position to help support my college tuition. I’m available in the evenings and weekends, and I bring a caring, reliable, and professional approach to every family I work with. I look forward to meeting your little ones and providing them with a fun, safe, and loving experience!

The kids enjoyed their time with Caroliny. She played with them for a few hours and then put them to sleep. Highly recommended.

Hi! My name is Christine, I am the oldest out of 5 children, with a mother who is a labor and delivery nurse--so I've grown up being taught about how to deal with children from a young age and have tons of personal experience working with kids through my younger siblings, extended family, and previously being my church's Sunday school teacher. I also have over 10 years of professional childcare experience and have worked in varying capacities as a nanny, family assistant, children’s art class assistant and sitter. I am trustline certified along with taking childcare courses, have a valid driver’s license and have received cpr & first aid training. I enjoy hobbies like reading, writing, and music and love sharing these things with kids. I also am not allergic to any pets and have no issues working with families with friendly furry friends ☺️ *I typically have a 5 hour minimum* **rates vary based on distance**

Christine has a calm demeanor and my toddler warmed up to her right away. She was communicative and was very prepared taking my daughter to play in the park with both toys and snacks. Would definitely have her back!

Hi, I’m Cristina! I have over six years of experience caring for children from 10 months to 14 years old. I love babysitting because I enjoy doing fun projects with kids and taking them to the park. My interest in childcare really grew from helping take care of my little cousin with Down syndrome, which taught me a lot about patience and how rewarding it is to care for children. A little about me: I love reading, spending time with family and friends, and learning new things. I also have a dog that I love taking to the beach! I’m open to traveling with families as well. Thanks so much for taking the time to read a little about me!

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
