Brittney $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Brittney, a graduate of Woodbury University, and I offer dependable childcare, senior care, pet care, and household assistance. I’m a caring, responsible, and energetic caregiver with more than 10 years of experience caring for infants, toddlers, school-aged children. I truly enjoy helping children feel safe, supported, and engaged. My experience includes school drop-offs and pick-ups, arts and crafts, baking, reading, tutoring, outdoor activities, games, and creative play. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow each family’s routines and preferences. I also have personal experience caring for my grandmother and understand the importance of patience, companionship, and reliability when supporting seniors. I’m comfortable preparing meals, providing transportation to appointments, running errands, and assisting with everyday tasks. As a lifelong dog owner, I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I currently have an active 10-year-old Jack Russell/Chihuahua mix, so I’m very comfortable with walking, feeding, playing, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. In addition, I can help keep your household running smoothly by cooking, doing laundry, running errands, and assisting with other household needs. I take pride in being dependable, organized, trustworthy, and someone families can feel comfortable welcoming into their homes.

Sally $45 per hour for 1 child

For 15 years, I had the privilege of serving one wonderful family in a multi-faceted role as a full-time nanny, private chef, family assistant, personal assistant, and house manager. I helped raise two children, one of whom is on the the autism spectrum, working closely with teachers, behavioral therapists, and psychiatrists to help ensure consistency and the best possible support. My approach to children centers on understanding each child's individuality, creating a safe, respectful, and encouraging environment. Beyond childcare, I take pride in running an organized and welcoming household, managing everything from meal planning and private chef services to scheduling, errands, and anticipating the day-to-day needs of a busy family. Known for my warmth, creativity, and strong work ethic, I aim to become a trusted extension of any family I serve, someone parents can rely on and children can feel comfortable with. I'd be honored to bring that same dedication and compassion to your family.

James $22 per hour for 1 child

I love working with people in general, but especially with Kids! I used to work with children on the spectrum, and I experienced any and all kinds of behaviours. I have done caregiving before with kids by serving them food, cleaning, helping homework, and play! I love working with pets too and I like to clean the house. But most importantly, I love helping out to wherever I most needed.

"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)."
