Hello - My name is Karyn. I have several years of cargiving experience, including; child and nanny care from ages 1 to 13 years old, live in elder care, and pet sitting/dog walking. I feel that work in caring for others where support is needed is one of the most rewarding works that we can do. I also feel that as adults one of the most important things we can do is to help support and shape children into the adults they will become; practicing values, such as honesty and kindness, while honoring the childs path of becoming. I am a nature lover and I will be very happy to play with your children outdoors, sit outside and enjoy a breeze together, or take your furry companion on a walk. I also enjoy to play games, read books, and I love to cook, so I am happy to provide healthy meals according to dietary needs and requests. Please let me know if you have any questions and thank you for considering me for your cargiving position.

Hello everyone !!! I’m 25 years old and have been working with kiddos for a little over 7 years. I consider myself a very patient, kind, energetic, and kind person who enjoys active play and doing fun crafts. I am usually out on adventures with the kids such as the zoo, museums, farms, aquariums, parks, beach, and amusement parks so I would love to find a family that is okay with me taking the kids out to explore. I am very flexible with time and last minute plans but I am looking for a full time position of 40+ hours per week and occasional sitting positions such as weekends or afternoons. I will be able to help with cleaning, washing, and extra tasks depending on your needs !!

Samantha was incredible! She arrived on time and was ready to play. She even brought a bag of crafts that my kids really enjoyed. She was very open to extending our return time. When we arrived home the house was just as we left it neat and clean. The kids were happy and excited to tell us everything they had done with Samantha. We look forward to having her again soon.

"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)."
