Aigne $25 per hour for 1 child

I have extensive experience working with children across various early childhood settings. I have served in multiple daycare centers, each for a duration of 3–7 months, where I supported daily classroom activities and provided consistent care to young learners. In addition to my formal roles, I have assisted family members and friends with childcare, further strengthening my skills in nurturing and supervising children of different ages. I am currently pursuing my Child Development Associate (CDA) credential through Teachstone to deepen my knowledge of early childhood education I am almost at the finish line ( yay!). I also currently work as an before- care and after-school teacher with KinderCare Champions, where I support and teach children ages 3–5 in a Montessori based school to develop key principles like independence, and hands on experiences which is child lead. I also throw some of my own structured learning in the mix with practice writing the basic but we are mainly Montessori.

Janice $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a dependable and experienced caregiver with 9 years of hands on childcare experience. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with families in a variety of roles from babysitting and tutoring, to leading groups of kids at summer camp and afterschool programs. I’ve cared for children who are up to 16 years old (mostly school aged children aged 5-12), and I genuinely enjoy creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for them to grow and thrive. Whether it’s helping with homework, making dinner, cleaning up, putting them to bed, heading out to the park, or even binge watching their favorite movies on repeat (you would not believe how many times I’ve seen The Minions movies lol), I’m there with patience, energy, and a smile. I’ve also worked as an in home tutor for five years, specializing in Chinese, English, and math, which means I’m well versed in keeping kids focused and engaged academically, too. In addition to childcare, I have a lifelong love for animals. I grew up with five pit bulls in my home and have always been comfortable around pets of all kinds. I’ve petsat for friends and family, sometimes for up to two months at a time; making sure their pets were well cared for, exercised, fed, and loved while they were away. Families know me as approachable, responsible, and genuinely invested in the wellbeing of the kids and pets I care for. I bring heart, structure, and flexibility to every home I step into, and I’m always ready to help however I can.

Sinethemba $27 per hour for 1 child

Hi I’m Nomi, I am a dedicated, compassionate, and experienced nanny with over six years of extensive childcare experience caring for children from newborns to school-aged kids. Throughout my career, I have created safe, nurturing, and engaging environments where children can learn, grow, and thrive while giving parents peace of mind. My experience includes infant care, bottle feeding, diaper changes, sleep routines, potty training, school drop-offs and pickups, homework assistance, meal preparation, light housekeeping related to the children, organizing educational and creative activities, and maintaining consistent daily schedules. I believe in encouraging children’s emotional, social, and developmental growth through patience, positive reinforcement, and age-appropriate play. I pride myself on being dependable, trustworthy, organized, and adaptable to each family’s unique needs and parenting style. Building lasting relationships with both children and parents is one of the most rewarding aspects of my work, and I strive to become a reliable and supportive presence in every household I join. My goal is always to provide exceptional care while fostering a loving, structured, and positive environment where children feel safe, valued, and encouraged to reach their full potential.

"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)."
