I’m a compassionate, reliable caregiver with experience supporting children, seniors, and pets. I have a strong background in child development and love creating safe, engaging environments for kids of all ages. I’m also skilled in household tasks like meal prep, light cleaning, and organizing. I’m patient, attentive, and great at building trust with both children and families. I believe in encouraging creativity, learning through play, and open communication. Whether it’s helping with homework, preparing meals, or keeping a household running smoothly, I bring dedication and genuine care to everything I do.

Diana $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Diana and I am a 20 year old college student. I have several years of experience babysitting. I’ve been babysitting since I was 14 years old and have worked with different families with children ranging from 1-12. I loved building strong, trusting relationships with both parents and children. I genuinely enjoy creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment for kids — especially through board games, arts and crafts, and creative activities. I am great at cooking and household chores. I’d be more than willing to give a helping hand around your home! I also have experience with pet care and have a dog of my own who has taught me great patience!

Norma $35 per hour for 1 child

My name is Norma, I am 39 years old and I have 15 plus years experience working with children. I have an Associate's Degree in Child Development and I have had the opportunity to work with children from ages as early as 6 weeks old all the way up to school age. I worked as a preschool teacher for five years. I was the lead teacher in my classroom. Along with two other teachers, I had 24 children in our classroom. I am bilingual in both English and Spanish. I enjoy working with children and engaging with them in any environment. I enjoy reading to children, story time is one of my favorite things to do. I try my best to bring the book to life and I have the children engage with me. More than anything though, I enjoy singing and dancing with the little ones. I am a nurturer and believe that is why I love and enjoy working with young children and have been able to always build strong bonds and relationships with the children and families I’ve worked with

"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)."
