Danyil $30 per hour for 1 child

I was born in Ukraine and moved to the U.S. six years ago. Such an experience that taught me patience, adaptability, and how to connect with people from all backgrounds. I started babysitting my cousins at age 10 and have loved caring for kids ever since. I'm warm, energetic, and a strong communicator, and children naturally warm up to me. I currently work at an elderly care home, where I've built close, loving relationships with the residents. Caregiving is truly something I'm passionate about at every stage of life. I'd love to bring that same energy and care to your family. Being kind makes me happy

"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)."
