Isabella $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m currently a student studying Disability Studies and I also work as a Registered Behavior Therapist. I’ve been working with kids for over 10 years, and it’s something I truly love :) I enjoy creating a fun and positive space where kids can be themselves and. Every child is so unique, and I love getting to know their personalities and what makes them light up. A little about me—I’m someone who loves adventure, being outdoors, trying new foods, and meeting new people. I’m all about finding joy in the little things and bringing that same energy into the families I work with. Whether it’s crafts, games, outdoor play, or simply being a dependable and caring presence, I love making meaningful connections with both kids and parents. I genuinely value every new family I meet and feel lucky to be part of their world, even in small ways!

Kuralay $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I am Kuralay and I’m 26! I’ve been around kids my all life but I began working professionally 8 years ago as a part-time babysitter, then early child educator, then au pair and now a nanny/babysitter. Throughout these 8 years, I’ve been responsible for many different things, such as active playing, indoor-outdoor activities, meal preparations, cooking, cleaning, laundry, bath time, bed time, teaching languages (English, Kazakh, Russian, Spanish), tutoring (math, sciences), art lessons (drawing, sewing, papercrafts, embroidery, clay art, many more), swimming lessons, international traveling assistance and many more. I am skilled in many things and can cater to the family’s specific needs. Children, whom I got the honor of getting to know, often grew up to be diverse, having interests in reading, drawing, photography, sewing and being creative in general. I view every child as a unique individual and feel always honored to be a part of their life when they are gaining their first impressions of this big beautiful life. My main “talent” is my sincere and attentive care for each and every child I take care of (I still keep in touch with a lot of kids I have previously cared). I love encouraging a child’s natural curiosity. And I believe that everything in a child’s development is connected - when a child feels emotionally secure, it supports physical growth and cognitive development, and each area strengthens the others in return. Because of this, I try to create an environment where children feel safe, curious, and inspired to grow. When it comes to professionalism, I am responsible, reliable, organized and punctual. Managing multiple other commitments, I know to respect others’ time. Respect, honesty, and kindness is what I carry and expect in return.

"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)."
