Athena $20 per hour for 1 child

My background as a behavioral health technician has provided me with extensive hands-on experience in caregiving. In this role, I supported individuals with diverse needs, assisted with treatment plans, monitored behaviors, and delivered compassionate, structured care. This professional experience has strengthened my patience, resilience, and ability to multitask effectively in demanding environments. I am a compassionate and empathetic caregiver who values treating people with dignity and respect. My strong communication skills and adaptability allow me to provide both emotional support and practical assistance. I excel at creating safe, nurturing environments, maintaining routines, and managing responsibilities such as meal preparation, household tasks, and scheduling. What makes me a great caregiver is my combination of professional experience, practical skills, and genuine commitment to helping others feel cared for, supported, and valued. CPR Certified

Haley $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! I’m a caring and reliable mom of two girls (ages 5 and 16 months) looking to offer babysitting help. Having little ones of my own has given me hands-on experience with everything from newborn care to preschool activities, and I know how important it is to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for kids. I love spending time outdoors, doing crafts, and encouraging play-based learning. I’m also an animal lover, so pets are never a problem—in fact, they’re a bonus! Whether you need an occasional sitter for a date night, extra help during the week, or someone who understands the ups and downs of caring for little ones, I’d be happy to help.

"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)."
