Hi! My name is Sara, and I am a college student pursuing a career in healthcare. I am currently enrolled in a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) program and am passionate about helping others through compassionate, dependable care. My long-term goal is to continue my education in the healthcare field, and I enjoy gaining experience working with people of all ages. I have over two years of experience working in a pediatric clinic, where I have developed strong communication, organizational, and caregiving skills while working with children and their families. In addition to my professional experience, I have spent many years helping care for my younger family members, which has taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of creating a safe and supportive environment. Outside of school and work, I enjoy spending time with family, staying active, and finding ways to help others. I am reliable, caring, and attentive, and I strive to make those around me feel comfortable and supported. Whether it’s helping with homework, preparing meals, engaging in fun activities, assisting with daily routines, or simply being a positive role model, I am committed to providing quality care and building trusting relationships with the families I work with. I look forward to the opportunity to support your family and provide a safe, caring, and dependable environment for your loved ones.

Hello my name Mien, and i am a dedicated and compassionate pet care provider with a genuine love for animals of all kinds. With years of a lot of experience caring for dogs and cats, I pride myself on crating a safe, comfortable and joyful environment for every pet I look after. Animals aren't just pet for me, they are family. That's why I focus on building trust, offering patience and giving each animal the attention they deserve. Whether it's daily walks, feeding, playtime or special-care routines.

"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)."
