Seylin $28 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Seylin. I have several years of experience supporting families through dependable childcare and household assistance. I began babysitting in high school and later coached a children’s soccer team, gaining experience working with children across different age groups while maintaining structure, safety, and positive routines. I also participated in a school mentorship program, where I guided younger students to remain academically focused and make positive life choices. Additionally, I volunteered with children with special needs, assisting with reading, daily activities, and supervised campus outings. I offer babysitting and nannying services, including school pick ups and drop offs, age appropriate activity supervision, and homework support. I also provide pet care, including walking, feeding, and companionship, and I am experienced with dogs of all breeds and sizes. In addition, I am willing to assist with errands, light cleaning, organizing, and general household support as needed. I am reliable, attentive, and committed to maintaining a safe, respectful, and well organized environment for children, pets, and families.

Samara $35 per hour for 1 child

About Me I’m 33 years old and originally from Brazil. I have a psychology degree in my country and I have several years of childcare experience in both the United States and Brazil. I began caring for children at a young age within my own family. I was 12 years old when my younger sister was born, and I actively helped my family with her care through all stages of her development. I also had experience with children of different ages during my psychology internship in college until I moved to the US at the age of 26 after my graduation to participate in an exchange program, where I worked as an au pair. Experience 6+ years of experience with children of different ages. After completing the program, I continued working as a nanny for other families. My Responsibilities & Skills My responsibilities have included school drop-offs and pick-ups, children’s laundry, meal preparation (I truly enjoy cooking), and planning engaging activities. Arts and crafts are my favorites! I am loving, patient, responsible, flexible, and a confident driver. I am also a strong swimmer. I am currently looking for a part-time or full-time position. I am also available for babysitting and date nights. I would be happy to do a trial day to see if there is a good fit. I would love the opportunity to support your family and care for your children.

"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)."
