Jaybriel $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Jaybriel 21 and Filipino! I’m a responsible, energetic, and caring person who enjoys helping others and creating a positive environment. Random fact, I am a Virgo, I’m naturally attentive, organized, patient, and detail oriented, which helps me create a safe and supportive space for the people I care for. Some of my hobbies include hiking, biking, and learning how to play the guitar. I’m also a huge family guy! I’m currently majoring in arts and film, which has helped me become very creative, expressive, and open minded. I enjoy bringing creativity into everyday activities, whether that’s through arts, music, storytelling, or fun activities. I’m very friendly, dependable, and easy to get along with. I enjoy building connections, making people feel comfortable, and being someone families can rely on. I’m also active and creative, so I enjoy keeping kids engaged through games, outdoor activities, arts, music, and helping with homework or daily routines. I have experience helping care for younger family members and assisting with household tasks such as cleaning, organizing, and maintaining a clean and welcoming space. I’m also comfortable around pets and happy to help with pet care if needed. I’d describe myself as adaptable, hardworking, trustworthy, and someone who genuinely enjoys making a positive impact on others!

Danielle $50 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Danielle, a professional nanny with over 13 years of experience caring for children from 3 months through the early school years. I take a Montessori-inspired approach, which for me means following a child's curiosity, building steady routines, and getting outside as much as possible. I love the everyday things: sensory play, messy art, reading the same book fourteen times in a row. I'm CPR and Pediatric First Aid certified, TrustLine registered, and I hold a B.S. in Psychology. I'm looking for a long-term family where I can be a consistent, warm presence in your children's lives. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, studying languages, reading, and writing fiction.

Olivia $32 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Olivia, and I’m currently looking to fill my morning availability from 6:00 AM to 8:00 AM, with a little flexibility until 8:30 AM if needed. I’m also available for evening shifts from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM. If your family needs help with early mornings, evenings, or simply a reliable caregiver before or after work, I’d love to help! I’m passionate about creating a calm, safe, and positive start to each child’s day. I believe every child is unique and deserves care that fits their individual personality and needs. Whether it’s helping with morning routines, preparing breakfast, reading books, or keeping little ones engaged before school or daycare, I strive to make mornings as smooth and stress-free as possible for both children and parents. I value open communication, reliability, and building trusting relationships with families. My goal is to provide dependable care while creating a warm, supportive environment where your child feels comfortable, confident, and ready for the day ahead.

"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)."
