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!

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.

Marianne $28 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Shelton, CT

Hi families :) My name is Marianne. Over the past 10 years I’ve had experience as a both a babysitter and family assistant. I have had the opportunity to work with many wonderful families through both Care.com and several respected childcare agencies throughout Connecticut. I truly enjoy building meaningful connections with families and becoming someone both parents and children can feel comfortable trusting and relying on. My experience includes long-term childcare, occasional babysitting, overnight care, emergency coverage, pet sitting, and day-to-day family assistance. I have cared for both cats and dogs during vacations, overnight stays, and unexpected situations when families needed extra support. I would describe myself as warm, reliable, flexible, patient, and highly dependable. I’m also a strong communicator and believe open, honest communication is very important when working closely with families. Parents appreciate that I am organized, attentive, easy to work with, and always willing to help wherever needed. Whether I’m caring for children, helping with errands and household support as a family assistant, or caring for pets, my goal is always to create a safe, calm, and supportive environment where families feel comfortable, supported, and at ease.

"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)."
