Aisha $45 per hour for 1 child

Hi families, I’m Aisha, a child therapist, expressive arts practitioner, and lifelong caregiver with decades of experience supporting children, teens, families, animals, plants, and community. My approach is caring, connective, attuned, expressive, and deeply imaginative. I specialize in helping children feel safe, engaged, emotionally supported, and genuinely seen. I love integrating art, nature, imagination, sensory play, emotional regulation tools, and gentle structure into time spent together. In addition to my clinical background, I’m also an artist and huge animal lover, so I’m very comfortable in homes with pets and happy to help care for furry family members too. Families often describe me as both gentle and strong, nurturing, attentive, intuitive, and highly trustworthy. I’m especially skilled with sensitive, creative, neurodivergent, queer, or emotionally expressive children, and I value building authentic relationships with both kids and parents. Available for babysitting, caregiving support, creative engagement, school pickups, evening care, and pet-friendly households. Looking forward to connecting 🌿

Ashley $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ashley. I’m a caring and reliable sitter with lots of hands-on experience, both as a mom and working with children of different ages. Being a parent myself, I truly understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your kids. I follow a gentle parenting approach and focus on creating a safe, calm, and positive environment where children feel comfortable, respected, and free to be themselves. I love engaging with kids through play, learning activities, and everyday routines. I’m very hands-on and intuitive, so I’m happy to jump right in and help without needing a lot of direction. Whether it’s caring for your little one, helping with child-related chores, or just making your day a little easier, I’ve got you covered. I also have strong references available and would love the chance to support your family!

Andréa $35 per hour for 1 child

I am an experienced and dedicated childcare professional with a strong background as both a nanny and a doula, specializing in newborns through early childhood (0–4 years). My work is rooted in attentive care, emotional awareness, and a deep respect for each child’s individual development. As a nanny, I provide structured, nurturing, and engaging environments where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to grow. I value routines, gentle communication, and age-appropriate stimulation, always adapting to the family’s parenting style and needs. My experience as a doula brings an additional layer of care, especially for newborns and postpartum families. I am highly familiar with infant care, sleep support, feeding routines, and helping parents navigate the early stages with confidence and calm. I naturally step in as a steady, reassuring presence during what can be a sensitive and transformative time. Families often describe me as intuitive, reliable, and deeply committed. I take pride in building trust not only with children but also with parents, creating a supportive and respectful partnership. I am currently available for a consistent weekday nanny position (Monday through Friday, daytime hours), and I am also open to occasional Saturday support as needed. I am passionate about providing high-quality care that goes beyond supervision — focusing on emotional security, healthy development, and a peaceful daily rhythm for both child and 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."

"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)."
