Aireon Compton
$23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Aireon, and I’m a college student studying kinesiology with a strong interest in working with children and families. I offer childcare, household help, and support for busy households. I have experience working with kids through coaching and after-school programs, where I’ve helped supervise activities, keep kids engaged, and create a safe, positive environment. I enjoy being hands-on—whether that’s helping with homework, playing games, or keeping kids active and entertained. I’ve been babysitting newborns - 12+ since i was 14. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help with light cleaning, organizing, running errands, and basic meal prep. I’m responsible, patient, and good at following routines while still being flexible when things change. I’m dependable, communicative, and take pride in being someone families can trust. I also love dogs and cats!

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
