Hello families! My name is Mary, and I have over 15 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to school-aged children. I am CPR and First Aid certified, TrustLine registered, and have excellent references from families I have worked with throughout the years. I am a loving, patient, reliable, and energetic caregiver who truly enjoys helping children learn, grow, and have fun in a safe environment. I enjoy planning educational activities, arts and crafts, reading, outdoor adventures, and age-appropriate learning experiences that keep children engaged and happy. I am currently looking for a wonderful family to work with and would love the opportunity to become a trusted part of your child’s life.

We have used Mary’s babysitting services for the past couple of years, and we have been extremely happy with her. We still use her whenever we attend weddings, birthday parties, date nights, or other special events because we know our child is in safe and caring hands. Mary loves doing fun and engaging activities with children and always keeps them active, happy, and entertained. She is trustworthy, dependable, and always on time. I would highly recommend Mary’s services to any family looking for a babysitter or full-time nanny. She is caring, responsible, and wonderful with children. You will not be disappointed. Sincerely, Ani

Hello, My name is Jennifer. I have over 10+ years experience with kids of all ages. I started babysitting at the young age of 12 years old. I've always enjoyed spending time or teaching new things to young children. I was a tutor for 2 years and taught ages 5-13 years old. At age 15 I was involved with a nonprofit organization based on young kids and teenagers who were involved in alcohol or drugs. I've always found it fascinating to be able to make a difference in our community and help kids in need. While in college, I invested my weekends working as a Disney Princess for many Birthday Parties. I would dress up as all types of characters and perform for kids, teenagers and adults. When I wasn't in school, I worked part-time as a Swim Instructor. I instructed all ages from infants, toddlers, kids and teenagers. I was also involved as a Birthday Party coordinator during the weekends. I would host events and pool parties while supervising all staff and lifeguards. I'm also very active and was involved in sports during my High School years. I played Volleyball & Softball. I was Varsity Caption for my Cross Country Team & also involved in Dance. I have a very strong passion for sports and enjoy going on hikes on my spare time. I will be the dearest friend and most caring sitter that your child will adore. I have no problem meeting with you for an interview or using Facetime to discuss any of your concerns. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your wonderful family :)

She is warm, patient, and genuinely caring, and it’s clear how much she loves working with children. Our child absolutely adores her and is always happy, comfortable, and engaged in her care, which gives us so much peace of mind as parents.

"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)."
