Darlyn $23 per hour for 1 child

persona amable, compasiva y cariñosa, nacida y criada en el medio oeste. Como la mayor de mis hermanos, cuidar a otros siempre ha sido parte de mi día a día. Así que, naturalmente, me dediqué al cuidado de niños a los 16 años, y nunca me he arrepentido.

Hi! My name is Carolina 👋 Here's a little about me : I have more than 5 years of experience working with children of different ages. Since high school, I’ve been helping elementary school children with their homework and taking care of my neighbors’ kids. Later, I moved to the United States in 2022, and now I have experience caring for newborns up to children aged 12. I consider myself patient, kind and respectful. I enjoy doing crafts and practicing sports. I love creating a safe, fun, and structured environment where children can be happy and feel loved.

Kendall $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Kendall! I’m a 21-year-old living in DC and currently working as a busser. I’m looking for part-time work doing something I enjoy, and I’d love the opportunity to help care for your child. In my free time, I enjoy reading, writing, and drawing, and I love sharing those interests with children by creating fun, engaging, and imaginative activities. I grew up with pets and have even volunteered at animal shelters to stay connected with animals since I don’t currently have any of my own. I’m comfortable with cats, dogs of any size, rabbits, hamsters, birds, reptiles, you name it! If you’re looking for reliable and consistent care, I’d love to connect!

"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)."
