Alyson $25 per hour for 1 child

I've always been someone who enjoys helping others, so becoming a caregiver felt like a natural fit for me. Over the past five years, I've loved getting to know the children and families I've worked with and being someone they can count on. Watching children learn, grow, and develop their own personalities is one of the most rewarding parts of caregiving, and I love being a positive and dependable person in their lives. As I work toward becoming a social worker, I hope to build a career centered around supporting others. Caregiving has allowed me to gain meaningful experience while doing something I truly enjoy. I'm CPR, First Aid, and AED certified through my experience as a lifeguard, and I strive to create a safe, caring, and encouraging environment for every child. I have also been a swim coach for 5+ years and have fostered a fun yet encouraging environment for kids to enjoy the sport as well as grow and feel proud of themselves. I have done a bunch of dog sitting and babysitting. I enjoy cleaning and cooking as well as getting to know the family I am looking after and making them the priority. I'd describe myself as organized, compassionate, and hardworking. In my free time, I enjoy staying active at the gym, reading, and coloring as a way to relax, recharge, and stay creative. I think it’s important to help kids be creative as well as encouraging their curiosity, confidence, and individuality, along with being a support system for the family.

Karen $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a reliable and easygoing babysitter who really enjoys working with kids. I’m currently a student, and that’s helped me become super organized, patient, and good at communicating things I bring into babysitting every day. I have about 2 years of experience caring for children of different ages. I’ve helped with things like homework, meals, bedtime routines, and keeping kids entertained with fun activities. I’m also happy to help out around the house when needed to make things easier for parents. I love caregiving because I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and getting to know their personalities. It’s really rewarding to be someone they feel comfortable with while also helping them learn and have fun. A little about me: I’m patient, creative, and dependable. I love doing things like arts and crafts, playing games, or just finding fun ways to keep kids engaged. Families can count on me to be responsible, positive, and easy to work with!

Clara $20 per hour for 1 child

My name is Clara and I have been a nanny/baby sitter for 10 years and I would love to share my experience and knowledge with your family. I truly feel honored and privileged to have a unique job that allows me to work with so many wonderful families. I am currently working part time with 2 families; the first has a newborn and 2 year old twin girls: the other has a 2 year old boy with a set of 12 month old fraternal boy/girl twins. I also do school pickup, after school care, and date nights. I have been with these families for the past few years, but I would love to find another position to supplement my current positions. I am an energetic, creative, fun, outgoing, caring, and generous individual who puts the safety and happiness of my charges first and foremost. This allows the parents to go about their day/date night with the utmost confidence that their children are in the best of care at all times. I have backgrounds in art, drama, music, and early childhood education. I have an abundance of references from both current and former employers, which will be at your complete disposal. I love games of all sorts, reading, outdoor activities, baking, arts and crafts, and imaginative play. I also enjoy getting the children involved in daily educational activities and the occasional science experiment. P.S I'm a huge fan of dogs and cats!!!

"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)."
