Alexa $32 per hour for 1 child

I’m a caring, dependable mom who understands how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your children. I treat every child in my care with the same patience, attention, and kindness I would want for my own. I’m fluent in both English and Spanish and love creating fun, age-appropriate experiences for kids. Whether it’s an active day at a local park, playing outside, getting creative with crafts and watercolor painting, reading, or enjoying a quiet activity, I’m happy to meet each child where they are. I can also prepare basic meals, help tidy up, and I’m a big animal lover, so pets are no problem! Most importantly, I want parents to have peace of mind knowing their children are safe, happy, cared for, and having a genuinely good time while they’re away.

Naomi $30 per hour for 1 child

I am a law degree holder with 9 units in Early Childhood Education and several years of experience working with children. My background gives me a unique balance of professionalism, responsibility, and a strong understanding of child development. I truly enjoy supporting children in their growth, whether through educational activities, creative play, or helping them build confidence in their daily routines. I have worked with kids in different age groups and know how important it is to create a safe, positive, and nurturing environment where children feel valued. Families can rely on me to be attentive, patient, and dependable. I enjoy designing activities that are not only fun but also support learning, communication, and social skills. In addition to my academic and caregiving experience, I am creative and resourceful, with skills in social media and content creation. This creativity allows me to keep children engaged with new ideas, games, and projects that spark imagination. I also bring strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and a calm personality that helps me adapt easily to different family needs.

Aaron $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Aaron. I’m a preschool teacher, former financial advisor, and proud parent of two wonderful kids. I was fortunate to stay home with my daughter during her first three years, which inspired me to earn my early childhood teaching credentials and work as a preschool teacher. I come from a large family in Indiana, where I grew up helping in my grandmother’s Sunday school class and caring for many younger cousins. Over the years, I’ve continued to build experience with children, from teaching in the classroom to recently nannying for two children (ages 2 and 5, one with Autism). Working with children is truly my passion. Families describe me as patient, nurturing, and someone kids connect with easily. My greatest strength is forming strong, positive bonds and creating a calm, joyful environment where children feel safe and supported.

Marcia took care of our little girl from 6 months old until 2 years old. She's a very warm nanny with 20 years of experience, and it truly shows! She is extremely reliable and always arrives on time, which gave us great peace of mind. Our little one loved spending time with her and playing games. As she grew, Marcia introduced new activities to keep her engaged, like painting, drawing, play-doh, singing, and even helping her cook cakes and cookies. Marcia also gave us the option to speak English, Spanish, or Portuguese to our baby, which was a big plus. She also prepared most of our little one’s meals which was incredibly helpful. I very much recommend Marcia as a nanny. You’d be lucky to have her!

Carly $35 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Carly and I'm 29 years old. I have watched many kids over the years since I was around 14, as I used to babysit - and still babysit - my 2nd baby cousins and I have also babysat professionally through the Trusted app from August 2017-December 2017 and had to briefly take a break since I went to study abroad the following semester. I’ve babysat kids from months old up until about 7 years old throughout the years, though. I am back and ready to spend time with these sweet, imaginative kids! I love spending time with babies or kids because they have such amazing, intelligent minds and I love to watch them grow whether it is by height or through improvements in their education or just through their personality. I am really into arts and crafts and love to be active, so keeping up is really no problem for me. I can speak a bit of Spanish if you’d like me to speak with your child in conversational Spanish :)

"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."

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)."
