Jill $25 per hour for 1 child

I have been working with families since 2009 as well as raising my own 3 children. I am a college graduate, and my CPR/First Aid certificates are up to date. I am punctual, reliable, responsible, friendly, and caring, as all my references will attest. I can also help with laundry, meal prep, and dishes. Pets are great if you have any.

Hannah $25 per hour for 1 child

I have extensive paid babysitting experience for children from a matter of days old to being old enough to where they don't really need someone to watch them but just in case of emergencies. This experience includes both one-time and long-term babysitting which also includes overnight babysitting. I have over 10 years of experience. I appreciate the trust that parents and guardians put in babysitters to care for their child(ren). I don't know as I am not yet a mother, but I can only imagine how nerve-racking it can be to leave your whole world in the hands of someone else. I love getting to hang out with kids of all different ages and getting to know their personalities. My goal is not to seem like a scary mean adult but as someone who is fun and cool but still ensuring that safety is the #1 goal.

"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."

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)."
