Hi! I’m Caitlin, a 24-year-old Irish babysitter I’ve been caring for children since I was 15 and have experience with kids of all ages, from newborns to older children. I also worked as a full-time nanny for 2 years, looking after a toddler and a newborn, so I’m very comfortable with routines, feeding, and bedtime. What I offer: • Babysitting for all age groups • Experience with newborns and toddlers • Cooking & light housekeeping • Homework help I’m responsible, patient, and genuinely love working with children. I enjoy staying active, playing football, reading, and getting outdoors—things I love to share with the kids I mind! Feel free to message me if you have any questions or would like to arrange a meeting

Hi, my name is Min and was a teaching staff for many years. Currently I am looking for some part-time positions since my teaching hours were severely cut this year. I love to work with kids, and I worked as a nanny many years ago. Also I time to time help my friends with their babies or kids when they need help. I’ve worked with children of all ages back in my Country from infants to pre-teens, and I truly enjoy helping kids. I believe in creating a positive, structured, and fun environment for kids, and I’m always looking for ways to support their unique needs. I am very strong in math and Physics ( I teach Physics for many years in San Francisco), and I am also pretty good in house work: cooking especially make Asian style meals, cleaning etc. I love pets: dogs and cats. If you need my help, I will help you with sincere heart.

Minh has been wonderful with my 3.5 year old daughter - very caring and fun - and also with our family dog. She's also been great helping me around our flat with laundry and neatening things up. Highly recommended! 🙌

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
