Kate $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi everyone! My name is Kate and I'm a recent Cal Poly graduate with over three years of experience caring for children ages 1–15. Most recently, I spent the past year as a nanny for two children (ages 11 and 14), helping with school pick-ups, homework, transportation to sports and activities, errands, meal prep, and creating fun, engaging experiences throughout the week. I'm dependable, energetic, reliable, and love building strong relationships with the families I work with. I'm also comfortable with light household tasks and have my own car. I have 2 dogs and a cat myself, so I love being around pets! Fun Fact: I was on my college dance team for 4 years! I've danced and been active my whole life, so I like to engage kids in that as well. I also have two younger sisters. I'm looking for part-time work any day of the week, ideally on a consistent week-to-week schedule. And I can also do night time for date nights, a night out, etc. – whatever you need! I can provide references upon request. Looking forward to connecting with you!

Praise $21 per hour for 1 child

Hello parents :) My name is Praise Kennedy and I would love to take care of your needs. I’m a freshman and current nursing student pursuing my B.S.N and work in pediatrics as a Registered Nurse. I’ve completed my associates degree of applied science in High School through concurrent enrollment. I love to tutor and teach others all I can share. I’m also currently a Certified Nurse Aid working in a Long Term Care facility. I’m currently CPR and BLS certified. I have worked in private homes for children with developmental disabilities, and being the oldest sibling I’ve taken care of my younger brother and sisters. With that, I love to have fun with the youth and help them grow. I personally like to bake and the meals I like to make at home are all my favorite comfort foods. I enjoy listening to music and watching movies in my free time.

Bailey $40 per hour for 1 child

Greetings! I'm Bailey, aka The Bailey Sitter, and I'm thrilled to meet you. Children hold a special place in my heart, and I bring over 10 years of childcare experience, including more than five years of professional work as a nanny, house manager, pet and house sitter. Growing up with four younger siblings and a house full of animals taught me responsibility, patience, and how to make everyday moments fun. I've supported wonderful families in both Boulder, Colorado and Montreal, Quebec, building strong connections along the way. Whether we're doing homework, groceries, heading to the mountains, spending time at the beach, playing instruments and singing, traveling, or overnights, I bring a calm, flexible, and hardworking presence. Your kids and furry friends will always be safe, supported, and genuinely cared for. I look forward to meeting you.

Katy $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m Katy , and I bring a unique blend of experience, maturity, and fun to babysitting. With over 10 years of experience teaching yoga to children and introducing them to the wonders of aerial yoga, I have a deep connection with kids between the ages of 2-14. My history of helping friends with their children and growing up with a younger foster brother has instilled in me the values of patience, empathy, and responsibility. What makes my babysitting style unique? I love crafting with kids - from making jewelry to creating window art and wall hangings. I'm also certified in CPR. I love physical fitness, yoga, and aerial hammock tricks. I climb, hike, and like to stay very active. I can offer kids a fantastic opportunity to learn aerial yoga tricks, beginner guitar, ballet, dance, climbing, and even some beginner photoshop skills. I speak a little french and love singing, poetry, philosophy, and writing. Beyond these fun activities, I’m also a helping hand for parents. Whether it’s assisting with homework, cooking meals, or doing light housekeeping, I am there to support. At 39, I blend the best of both worlds: the wisdom of age and a heart that loves to play games and have fun with kids. My availability does vary depending on my yoga teaching and retreat schedule, but I’m always communicative and timely. Parents have even hired me specifically to teach their kids aerial yoga – a testament to the trust they place in me. I’m also endorsed by friends on UrbanSitter and can offer references upon request. In a nutshell, I am patient, energetic, creative, reliable, intelligent, and deeply committed to my core values. If you're looking for a sitter who offers a blend of maturity, fun, and a wide range of skills, I am the right choice for your family.

"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)."
