I am an experienced nanny, baby sitter and caregiver, having worked in the industry intensely for about fifteen years. I have been sitting children, however, since I a teenager. I am a fun-loving sitter who really puts her heart into her work. I've had many clients for the fifteen year period, and we have become like family to one another. I have a grown daughter whom I've raised to a successful adulthood. I have excellent references, a clean driving record and can easily pass a background check. I have my own vehicle and car insurance and can drive clients to various appointments, pick up from school, or take on outings. I was a Girl Scout for nine years. I was a lifeguard in high school, certified Red Cross. I have saved a few lives, a drowning victim - a 6-year old boy when I was a teenager; and, most recently, a grandmother who was choking to death at a valley restaurant. I have taken art for ten years, and love doing arts and crafts. I consider myself to be an excellent cook. I sing in church choir. I am great with pets, too. I am a freelance book editor in my spare time, and use the sitting money to supplement my income. I have been a book editor for about twenty years, mainly working on education materials and text books. I have a college degree.

Molly was caring and patient with my two girls.

$22 per hour for 1 child

I am a credentialed teacher with several years of teaching experience, and I valued raising my son without daycare so much that I stayed home to be with him. My son has ADHD, and I helped him to get through all of his schooling. Now he is a PhD student in Medical Research! I enjoy working with children of all ages, and I take pride in caring for others in a respectful, meaningful way. I am creative and fun as well, and I feel comfortable communicating with families to make sure that everything goes well.

I have known Danielle for more than ten years. During that time, we both served as committee members for our local Scout Troop. I observed how she interacted with the Scouts and I admired her calm demeanor. Danielle always shows patience and care when working with children. I appreciate that she is always willing to lend a helping hand. She continues to volunteer her time and share her talents with various organizations in our community.

Hi, I'm a dedicated childcare professional, preschool teacher, and proud mom who genuinely loves helping children learn, grow, and feel safe and supported. Families describe me as kind, dependable, communicative, and easy to work with. I believe strong relationships with both children and parents are built on trust, transparency, and open communication, and those are values I bring to every family I work with. I have a background in psychology and hold two Associate degrees in Child Development with concentrations in Early Childhood Education and Special Education. My experience includes working as a preschool teacher, babysitter, nanny, and mother, giving me a well-rounded understanding of children's developmental, emotional, and educational needs. I'm an outdoorsy, creative, and affectionate caregiver who loves singing, dancing, reading stories, making art, and turning everyday moments into fun learning opportunities. I enjoy following children's interests while creating routines that help them feel secure, confident, and engaged. Childcare has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My mother worked as a nanny in different parts of the world, and I was fortunate to grow up alongside the families she cared for. Watching her taught me the importance of patience, flexibility, and building meaningful connections with children and parents alike. I am CPR and First Aid certified, have a clear background check and fingerprint clearance, and am committed to providing the highest level of care. Whether you need occasional support or a long-term caregiver, I would love the opportunity to be a trusted, nurturing presence in your child's life. I look forward to connecting with your family!

Kimberly was an incredible babysitter for our son Van! From the moment we connected, she was kind, caring, and professional. She kept us updated throughout the evening with thoughtful texts and adorable pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely cares and is passionate about what she does. Van was comfortable and happy with her, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Kimberly is everything we were hoping for in a sitter—and more. We will absolutely be using her again (and again)!

Hello! I’m Samari, an 18-year-old dual-enrolled student with experience in childcare, household tasks, and pet care. Prices is not set and is negotiated by the hr :) I enjoy working with children and aim to pursue a career in this field. Since age 13, I’ve been caring for children from 3 months old to older, handling tasks like school pickup, tutoring, playing, and caring for their daily needs and early development, whether with or without parents present (like during work or errands). I also provide household help, including cooking, cleaning, and running errands (I have a driver’s license). If you have pets, I’d Also be happy to help care for them. I understand that parents often have strict schedules for their children, and I am committed to following them diligently. My current and past experience: ————————————————————- • Since early summer, I’ve been working at a childcare play center. • I attend COC for my Child Development and Education degree and the Hart District school for my diploma. • I have babysat multiple toddlers simultaneously on several occasions.

Samari was very professional and i look forward to working with her again. My son did not want her to leave! He has an amazing time during her care.

I am a dedicated caregiver with over 3-5 years of experience supporting seniors, children, and pets. My background includes early childhood ed, but my true strength lies in my patient, proactive personality. Whether I’m managing household tasks, assisting with mobility, or organizing educational activities for kids, I treat every family like my own. I’m also a great cook and a calm problem-solver in busy environments." Am also a. student not having many kiddos to babysit so decided to try this app to pay for my school expenses :)

She’s great!

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
