Celia $18 per hour for 1 child

I am from Danbury and I’m currently attending grad school online. I am very family oriented and love children. I started baby sitting when I was 12, and have babysat both on an “as-needed” basis and full-time. I love all ages, though I have the most experience working with newborn-toddler ages. I love being active, which is my favorite part of nannying/babysitting. Walking, going to the park, and interactive games are all things I find important for childhood development. I am very flexible with scheduling and different family arrangements as my graduate program is asynchronous and I have worked with all different kinds of families.

Gaby $24 per hour for 1 child

**CPR/FIRST AID Certified** Hi there! I'm Gabby, a passionate and dedicated caregiver with 10+ years of experience in babysitting. I believe that every child is unique, and I strive to create a nurturing environment where they can thrive and explore their creativity. I enjoy engaging kids in fun activities, from arts and crafts to outdoor adventures, all while ensuring their safety and well-being. Cooking is one of my favorite hobbies, and I love preparing healthy, delicious meals that kids actually enjoy! Whether it's whipping up colorful snacks or teaching them simple recipes, I believe that cooking can be a fun and educational experience. As an animal lover, I'm more than happy to care for pets as well. I understand that pets are part of the family, and I can provide companionship, walks, and care for your furry friends while you're away. I'm happy to assist with children's housework, such as tidying up play areas and cleaning up after meals. For any additional housework beyond that, I would charge a fee, which can be discussed based on your needs. I'm a firm believer in open communication with parents, and I'll keep you updated on your child's day and any fun stories to share when you return home. With my own car, transportation is not an issue! I'm looking forward to meeting your family and making unforgettable memories together, while ensuring a safe and joyful experience for everyone.

Samara $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Samara, and caring for children has always been my passion. I’m the oldest of two siblings and also have two adopted older siblings, along with four wonderful nieces and nephews (one niece and three nephews), so I’ve been around children my whole life. Ever since I was little, I knew I wanted to work with kids, helping them learn, grow, and become kind, respectful young men and women. I have experience working at Nichols Elementary School in Stratford, as well as at two daycare centers, caring for children of different ages and supporting their development through learning and play. I am currently in the process of opening my own daycare because working with children is truly what I love. I am CPR certified and EpiPen certified, and I always prioritize the safety and well-being of the children in my care. I’m dependable, patient, nurturing, and love creating a fun, engaging, and safe environment where children can thrive. I’m also very pet-friendly—I have five dogs and two cats—so I’m comfortable caring for families with pets. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help with light housekeeping, including laundry, dishes, sweeping, mopping, organizing, and general tidying. I would love the opportunity to provide dependable, loving care and become someone your family can trust.

"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)."
