Selene $16 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m 19 and a mom to a 5-month-old baby boy. I have several years of hands-on childcare experience from helping care for my four younger siblings, including overnight care, so I’m very comfortable with daily routines and responsibilities. I’m experienced with feeding, diaper changes, naps, playtime, and bathing, and I always focus on creating a safe, calm, and caring environment for children. I’m patient, reliable, and friendly, and while I can be a little shy at first, I warm up quickly and build strong, trusting connections. I also have experience working in a nursing home setting, which has given me skills in supporting others with care, patience, and respect. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help with light housekeeping, laundry, and small errands to make things easier for families. I’m available for local, in-home opportunities and am reliable with transportation within my area. I may also be open to bringing my baby along if a family is comfortable, as it can provide a positive and social environment for both children. I take pride in being dependable and someone families can trust, and I’d love to help make your day a little easier.

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.

"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)."
