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!

"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)."
