Parisa $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Parisa. I’ve been babysitting for about two years, and I really enjoy spending time with kids and helping families feel at ease while they’re away. I’m a patient, calm person, and I try to keep things light, warm, and fun for the kids I look after. I have experience with basic daily routines like feeding the kids, keeping them entertained, and making sure they’re safe and comfortable. I can also handle pick-ups or drop-offs when needed. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and I try to make every child feel cared for and listened to. If you’re looking for someone steady and kind who genuinely enjoys being around kids, I’d love to help.

Suray $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I am a warm, reliable, and caring provider who loves supporting families with kids, pets, and everyday needs. As a native Spanish speaker, I am thrilled to offer a wonderful opportunity for language immersion, helping children learn or practice Spanish naturally. Please note that my English is basic and I am currently studying to improve it; therefore, I am primarily looking to connect with Spanish-speaking or bilingual families where communication is smooth and clear. You can always count on my dedication, patience, and respect to give your family the best care!

"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."

"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)."
