Mitra cared for my two children, and I can confidently say she exceeded every expectation we had. From the very beginning, she demonstrated exceptional warmth, reliability, and trustworthiness. She is patient, approaching every situation with calm understanding and genuine care. Mitra also communicates beautifully. She keeps me informed, checks in when needed, and makes sure we’re always aligned. I especially appreciated the respect she showed for my parenting style. She took the time to understand our routines, our values, and our expectations, and she upheld them thoughtfully and consistently. I highly recommend Mitra to any family looking for a dependable, compassionate, and skilled caregiver.

keyon $20 per hour for 1 child

I have extensive experience working with children across a variety of settings. I began volunteering in childcare at my church as a teenager and have continued caring for children through babysitting for relatives and family friends over the years. More recently, I have worked in multiple school settings as a Teacher Assistant and Behavioral Aide, supporting children of all ages, including those with special needs. In these roles, I assisted with classroom activities, provided behavioral support, and helped create a safe and positive learning environment. Additionally, I have worked with the YMCA for several summers over the past three years, further developing my skills in child supervision, engagement, and program support. I am also CPR and AED certified, ensuring I am prepared to respond to emergency situations and prioritize children’s safety at all times.

Brayson $16 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Brayson. I’m a former Early Childhood and Special Education teacher with 10 years of experience. I recently stepped out of the classroom to be home with my daughter and to begin building a childcare program my wife and I have dreamed of—one that nurtures creativity, confidence, and emotional growth. I offer full-time and after-school care from our home for ages 2 months to 12 years, including pick-up and drop-off. I’ve worked with children of all ages and needs, including those needing extra behavioral, emotional, or communication support. I hold a bachelor’s in Early Childhood Education and a master’s in Special Education. In our home program, learning feels warm, playful, and hands-on. My goal is to help every child feel safe, supported, and excited to explore. As a dad, I know how much trust it takes to choose the right caregiver. Your child’s well-being is my highest priority. My wife works from home and helps run our program, so children always have consistent care. If you’d like to meet us or schedule a tour, we’d love to connect and see if we’re the right fit for 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."

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
