โ€œAnna is an amazing sitter, I can't say enough good things about her. She was so engaging with my *very* active 6 year old. My kid really liked her and he even said she helped him navigate a social situation in the park when some kids were not being nice. Anna is warm, creative, and responsible, and one of the best caregivers I've seen. โ€

I have more than 5 years of experience taking care of kids, Iโ€™m a pro-active person. Iโ€™m really good with kids. I like to play with them, let them learn and explore , also teach them good moral and values. So when they grow up they have the right tools to handle every situation. My biggest dream is to help them to develop their intellectual and emotional intelligence.

โ€œWe had a great experience! She watched my 8-month-old son, Finn, for an hour in the morning while I dropped off my other kids at school. Finn was happy and comfortable with her, which gave me great peace of mind. She was kind, attentive, and reliable, and everything went smoothly. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy babysitter!โ€

Hi! My name is Samantha. I have tons of experience in child care and with all ages. I worked at a preschool in the 2 to 3 year old class (19 of them, crazy i know haha). I absolutely adore kids and also have experience as a household assistant. I can do tasks such as cooking and baking, laundry, general cleaning, and dishes all while entertaining the kids! I would describe myself as outgoing, responsible, and kind! I would also describe myself as energetic! I currently work for a family part time that I met on care.com! I have been with them for about a year and am happy to provide their contact info for a recommendation!

"We absolutely LOVE Isa โ€” 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)."
