Abigail $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Abii! Think of me as the cool auntie who’s around whenever you need an extra hand. Whether you’re working, enjoying a date night, running errands, or simply want a few hours to yourself, I’d be happy to help! I have experience caring for infants and children up to 12 years old. Growing up, I helped raise and care for the children in my family. It gave me plenty of hands-on experience with their different ages, personalities, and needs. I enjoy doing arts and crafts, taking walks to the park, and finding fun ways to keep busy:) I can also help with homework and provide simple tutoring in a variety of school subjects. I’m 24 years old and currently work from home which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability. I’m hoping to keep busy during my free time by doing something that comes naturally to me—caring for kids and helping around when it’s needed the most. I’m happy to prepare simple meals and snacks, help with light household chores, and keep your family’s preferred routine in check. I look forward to meeting all families of different sizes and shapes!!:)

Lisa $30 per hour for 1 child

With over 15 years of nanny experience and a current schedule packed with regular babysitting gigs, I’ve seen (and handled) it all — from newborn night feedings to juggling homework, dinner, and bedtime for multiple kids at once. I’m known for being calm under pressure, endlessly patient, and the kind of sitter kids adore and parents trust completely. I bring the perfect mix of fun and structure — think creative activities, outdoor adventures, and imaginative play, all balanced with homework help, healthy meals, and a smooth bedtime routine. Safety is always my top priority, but I’m not afraid to get silly, crawl around in a fort, or host a living-room dance party. Parents count on me because I’m reliable, resourceful, and unflappable — the babysitter who can fix a scraped knee, soothe a fussy toddler, and keep the older kids entertained, all while leaving your home cleaner than I found it.

I have years of professional caregiving experience caring for children, seniors, and pets. My background includes working as a Medication Technician and supporting seniors with neurodegenerative disorders, along with extensive hands-on experience caring for infants and young children. I am comfortable managing feeding schedules, diaper changes, sleep routines, developmental play, and helping little ones reach important milestones from infancy through early childhood. Along with my caregiving skills, I also assist with housekeeping and laundry, ensuring a well-maintained and comfortable environment. Beyond my professional experience, I have volunteered for several years, further enriching my ability to connect with and care for others. I’m an active individual, regularly involved in hobbies like rock climbing, kayaking, and yoga, which keep me energetic and focused. Additionally, I’ve been a clarinetist for over 10 years, bringing creativity and discipline into all aspects of my life. I’m dedicated to offering compassionate, reliable care, while maintaining a fun, supportive, and positive environment. Let’s work together to create a nurturing and safe space 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."

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)."
