Johanna $22 per hour for 1 child

I bring over a year of experience in babysitting, complemented by a degree in Sociology. For the past six years, I’ve worked as an after-school teacher, where I specialized in providing homework support, maintaining a well-managed classroom environment, and—most importantly—building strong, positive relationships with children. Currently, I am in my second year of nursing school, which has further strengthened my sense of responsibility, patience, and ability to remain calm and attentive in different situations. I truly enjoy working with children and would love the opportunity to bring my experience, reliability, and caring personality to your family. I would be happy to provide references and answer any questions you may have. Thank you for considering me!

Dear Perspective Family, It is with deep gratitude and complete confidence that we recommend Deb Scribner as an exceptional nanny and caregiver. Deb has been with our family since August 2022, and quite simply, she has been one of the most impactful people in our lives during this season. As a household with two working parents—both operating full-time in corporate roles from home—our days are fast-paced, demanding, and often overlapping between meetings, deadlines, and the needs of a growing child. Navigating that dynamic requires not just childcare, but a true partner in the home. Deb has been exactly that. From the very beginning, Deb has provided outstanding care for our son. She is reliable, consistent, and incredibly thoughtful in how she approaches each day. Beyond meeting his basic needs, she has actively contributed to his growth and development—supporting his preschool homeschooling journey and teaching him foundational skills that will serve him for years to come. Her ability to balance structure, creativity, and warmth has made a lasting impression on him. What sets Deb apart is the way she seamlessly integrates into the rhythm of family life. She is proactive in coordinating schedules and planning ahead—whether it’s helping us prepare for vacations or ensuring continuity during busy work seasons. She has also gone well beyond traditional nanny responsibilities, caring for our home in ways that have brought us immense peace of mind—from tending to our garden and chickens to embracing the joyful chaos of our energetic dog. More importantly, Deb has cared for our family as a whole. She has supported us through illness, surgeries, and the emotional complexities that come with early parenthood—postpartum challenges, mom guilt, and the many transitions that working parents face. She brings wisdom, calm, and genuine compassion in moments when it matters most. There is a steadiness about her that cannot be taught, and it has been invaluable to us. We can say with complete honesty that we could not have navigated this chapter of life without her. Any family would be incredibly fortunate to have Deb as part of their home. She is trustworthy, nurturing, capable, and deeply invested in the well-being of the families she serves. If you are looking for someone who will not only care for your children but truly support your entire family, we wholeheartedly recommend Deb Scribner. Warmly, Ryan and Brianna Schaaf

Laura $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Laura. I’m from Colombia and I’m offering child care services. I have over 6 years of experience in the U.S. taking care of children from 3 months to 6 years old. In addition, I worked in a kindergarten in Colombia for about 6 months, where I cared for children between 2 months and 8 years old. I love engaging kids in all kinds of activities such as painting, coloring, dancing, singing, crafts, cooking, reading, going on walks, and exploring the world together. I can also help with laundry, light cleaning, running errands, and more. I consider myself a cheerful, energetic, responsible, and loving person, and I would be very happy to work with your family. I can provide excellent references! Thank you for reading!

Katie $30 per hour for 1 child

I am a 58 years old and have raised 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 will be attending college in late Aug so as an empty nester 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

"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

"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)."
