Melissa $90 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Melissa, and I have experience working in childcare, caregiving, and customer service environments where patience, responsibility, and communication are extremely important. I currently work in a daycare setting and have experience caring for children of different ages while creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment. I’m dependable, attentive, organized, and naturally nurturing, and I genuinely enjoy helping families feel supported and at ease. I’m comfortable assisting with childcare, meal prep, bedtime routines, light housekeeping, organizing, errands, pet care, and maintaining a clean and structured environment. I also have experience working with individuals who need extra patience, understanding, and compassionate care. Families describe me as trustworthy, calm, mature, and detail-oriented. I take pride in being reliable, professional, and respectful in every home I enter. I enjoy creating fun and active experiences for children while also helping busy households run more smoothly. I’m comfortable around pets, have my own transportation arrangements when needed, and I always strive to provide high-quality care that families can truly depend on.

John $20 per hour for 1 child

K-12 Substitute teaching Pet sitting for quick feeds, overnights, vacations including walks and being good company House Sitter I can cook, clean, get whatever you need done combined. The ideal job would be for one family who wants someone who will take care of the kids and pets, cook and prepare healthy meals, keep the place clean and possibly do a full house cleaning utilizing my time wisely for $30 an hour (negotiable). Otherwise, a more individualized job such as just babysitting $20/hour or overnights/longer stays. For Pet Sitting and House Sitting, I will not charge much as it is very easy. Really, the best option is for you to make me a potential offer based on what you are looking for. Open to interviews.

"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."

"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)."
