Jessica Nadyn $40 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Jessica, and I recently graduated with my Master’s degree in Child Life from Azusa Pacific University. I have a deep passion for supporting children and families during times of stress, uncertainty, and medical experiences, and I aspire to work as a Child Life Specialist in the future. My interest in working with children began at a young age. Before pursuing my undergraduate degree at the University of Arizona, I was a primary babysitter for my youngest cousin starting when he was about 11 months old. This experience helped me develop patience, empathy, and a strong understanding of early childhood development, while reinforcing my love for working with children. Throughout my academic training, practicum, and internship experiences, I have worked with infants, toddlers, preschoolers, school-age children, and adolescents across a variety of settings, including hospital units and community-based programs. These experiences have allowed me to provide developmentally appropriate play, education, and emotional support, and coping support tailored to each child’s individual needs. I am especially passionate about creating safe, supportive environments where children feel empowered, heard, and understood.

Amber $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Amber, and caring for others truly comes from my heart. I love working with children and creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment. I’ve served in children’s ministry at church and regularly babysit for friends and church families. Being someone parents can fully trust means everything to me. I also run a pet-sitting business, so caregiving is a big part of my life! I have experience working with special needs, I’m CPR certified, and I’m patient, loving, and dependable. I helped care for my grandfather during his battle with cancer, which deepened my passion for serving others. I’m comfortable with light housekeeping, meal prep, and elderly care as well. I hope to become a nurse one day because helping people is truly my calling.

Sasha $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Sasha, and I’m a responsible, caring, and dependable college student with years of childcare experience. I currently work at a development center where I care for children ages 6 months to 1 year old in my classroom, helping create a safe and engaging environment for infants during such an important stage of development. I have been babysitting since middle school and have experience caring for children of almost all ages. Growing up with a younger brother who I helped care for also gave me hands-on experience from an early age and strengthened my love for working with kids. From helping with homework and keeping children entertained to preparing simple meals and bottles, bedtime routines, I understand how important it is for families to have someone dependable and trustworthy. I also volunteered at my preschool growing up, which helped me build patience and a strong connection to childcare early on. I’m patient, energetic, and naturally great with kids, and I enjoy creating a safe and environment. In addition to childcare, I’m comfortable helping with pets and light household tasks like tidying up, dishes, laundry, and keeping spaces organized. I value kindness, communication, and reliability, and my goal is to be someone your family can truly depend on!

"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)."
