I am a loving, patient, reliable, and energetic caregiver who truly enjoys helping children learn, grow, and have fun in a safe environment.

I am currently looking for a wonderful family to work with and would love the opportunity to become a trusted part of your child’s life.

“We have used Mary’s babysitting services for the past couple of years, and we have been extremely happy with her. We still use her whenever we attend weddings, birthday parties, date nights, or other special events because we know our child is in safe and caring hands. Mary loves doing fun and engaging activities with children and always keeps them active, happy, and entertained. She is trustworthy, dependable, and always on time.

Hi ! I am a 25 year old sitter, with two years of experience caring for infants and 1 year caring for two toddlers and have occasionally cared for kids ranging from 4 - 11. I am CPR certified, have both a clean background check and clean driving record and I speak english and Spanish. I can be ocasional, part time or full time. I am young, energetic and love to be around kids! Their safety and happiness is always my number one priority but also making them feel comfortable and excited to be around me as I always want the kids to not dread having to leave their parents side and thinking of me as a scary stranger. My hope for every parent that meets me is that they can feel my good energy and trust that they are leaving their kids in the right hands and that I will take care of them as if they were my own blood.

Hi, moms and dads, my name is Tanielle and I am a kindergarten teacher. I have several years of experience, from taking care of newborns overnight up until middle aged kids. I absolutely love babysitting because of the relationship I form with the children and their families-it fills me up. I am a fun, loving, compassionate and creative person. I also enjoy cooking, baking, spending time outside, traveling but also enjoy my own company. I am CPR qualified, fully vaccinated and boosted. I have also completed a background check. I am flexible with open availability. Thanks for taking the time to get to know me-hope to meet you soon! *I require a minimum of 4 hours* *FYI regardless if parents return earlier than booked time, I’m still expecting to be compensated all the hours initially agreed upon*

"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)."
