Riley $25 per hour for 1 child

Nurturing a child's curiosity and watching them reach new milestones is my greatest passion. With four years of experience caring for up to three children, I have developed a creative and imaginative approach to keeping kids engaged. I am equally comfortable leading outdoor sports and physical games as I am settling in for board games and puzzles. My background includes First Aid Training and CPR Training, ensuring your little ones remain safe while we explore. Since I am a skilled swimmer, I am happy to provide swimming supervision during pool time. I prioritize your family's preferences by following your lead on household rules and your chosen method for daily communication. I am also happy to assist with cooking, meal preparation, carpooling, and light housekeeping. I truly look forward to becoming a supportive, positive presence in your children's lives.

Roazia $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello wonderful parents! My name is Roazia and I'm currently attending Deltech in the IT program. I am also a mother to two beautiful children, a boy (4 years old), and a girl (3 years old). I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids (including twins!) since I was 15 years old. I have also taken care of my own 3 siblings for as long as I can remember. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and even homework help. I have worked at a daycare with kids ages 6 months to 4 years old. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own grandparents and am comfortable with senior care. I can cook, drive to appointments, or do other tasks.

Nalo $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Nalo, and I’m currently a sophomore at North Carolina Central University studying nursing. I’m CPR certified and have several years of experience working with children of different ages. I’ve worked at Chuck E. Cheese as a party host for four years and at a daycare for a year and a half, where I’ve cared for infants and toddlers. I also babysit for families outside of work and have experience caring for multiple children at once. I truly enjoy working with kids and love keeping them entertained with games, crafts, outdoor activities, and other age-appropriate activities. I’m patient, responsible, dependable, and always make sure children are safe and comfortable while in my care. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help with light housework, cooking, and running errands when needed. I’m available for occasional and weekend babysitting and would love to connect with families looking for a reliable and caring babysitter!

"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."

"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)."
