Oona $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Oona. I am a college student, with several years of experience caring for young children. Some of my favorite things are spending time with my siamese cat, grilling out with my family, listening to music with friends, watching movies. My absolute favorite Disney movie is Moana. I’m also a dancer and have traveled abroad several times. Bathing elephants in Thailand is an experience i’ll never forget. I’ve also participated in Outdoor Lab four times, where I supervised kids throughout the day and overnight. Being unplugged in nature is cool. I love engaging children in fun, screen-free activities, like trips to the park, the zoo, and museums. I always prioritize creating a safe and positive environment. I am CPR certified with hands-on training, and I have experience caring for children ages 1–12. In addition, I am comfortable with caring for all kinds of pets, running errands, and following any household rules or routines you may already have in place. If you have any questions about my experience, please feel free to reach out via text to schedule a call so we can chat. For everyone’s benefit, when possible, i prefer to do an in person meet & greet prior to us working together. I find it eases the transition for the children, as well as us adults. i look forward to hearing from you!

Gwendolyn $35 per hour for 1 child

After years in corporate accounting and running my own business, I’m transitioning to a more fulfilling career in childcare. I’m a devoted mom with deep life experience, including caring for my late son during hospice and supporting my second child, S., through his gender transition. Today, S. is thriving—an honor roll student, Truman Scholarship finalist, Alpine Club officer, Best Student Employee award winner, and college scholarship recipient. I served on the board of the Montessori school, that both of my children attended, and bring a calm, structured, and creative approach to caregiving. I hold a degree in Business Management, live in Denver, and enjoy art, gardening, and design. I’m warm, reliable, and nurturing, with a focus on helping kids feel safe, confident, and seen. CPR/First Aid certification was completed on May 19, 2025. It would be my honor to support your child’s growth and happiness. With a background in high-level administrative and accounting roles, I bring organization, attention to detail, and reliability to every task. My experience managing complex schedules, multitasking under pressure, and supporting executive teams has equipped me with strong time management and problem-solving skills—essential in a childcare setting. As a former small business owner, I’ve worn many hats, from logistics and event planning to communication and compliance, demonstrating the flexibility and calm demeanor that families need. I also volunteer in community support roles, reinforcing my natural caregiving instincts and commitment to nurturing others. My lived experience as a devoted mother and caregiver adds emotional intelligence, compassion, and real-world parenting insight to my professional capabilities.

"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)."
