We hired Sandra to take care of our 5 day old foster newborn baby. She had flexibility and excellent care! We have had her for almost 6 weeks and she has been a lifesaver when we needed her! She had been super flexible and had gone over and beyond! She has done extra work with laundry, washing bottles, bringing diapers, bringing baby dish soap & so much more! She would make a great addition to any family. My husband travels and his schedule is so sporadic and her flexibility has saved us! Since it’s foster care, I didn’t get a chance to take anytime off so having her has helped immensely. 2 social workers have come weekly and have seen her handle the baby with care and see the love she gives her. Also, as a child therapist, it’s hard for me to leave my children with anyone- I 110% trust her with both my kiddos!

McKenna $24 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is McKenna, I have 4 years of babysitting experience with children of all ages. I currently work at a Child Therapy Center supporting children with developmental delays, which has given me a lot of hands-on experience working with kids of different needs and ages. I'm a college student, so babysitting is something I enjoy doing as a side job while putting myself through school. Families I work with often describe me as patient, responsible, and very dependable. I'm CPR, First Aid, and Water Safety certified, have my own reliable transportation, and love creating a safe, fun environment where kids can learn and enjoy themselves. I'm happy to help with homework, light housekeeping, carpooling, and pets if needed. I truly enjoy working with children and would love the opportunity to support your family.

Hi, my name is Jocelyn. I’m 43 years old and a single mom of three, with many years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages, seniors, and pets. I’m gentle, patient, kind, and have a good sense of humor (or at least I like to think so 😊). I truly enjoy spending time with seniors—listening to their stories, learning from their wisdom, and offering companionship and support. I also have extensive experience caring for children at every stage, from infants to teens. I’m comfortable helping with daily routines, light household tasks, errands, reading, playtime, and providing attentive, compassionate care. I also have experience with pets. I am allergic to cats, but I am willing to take allergy medication if needed. I take pride in being dependable, nurturing, and respectful, and I aim to create a safe, calm, and positive environment for those I care for. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my bio!

"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)."
