Emilie $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Emilie. I'm 24 years old, born in Miami and raised in Orlando. I've always had a passion for caring for others, whether that's children or animals. Ever since I was a little girl, I've dreamed of having a big family because caring for people has always come naturally to me. I grew up in a loving home, and one of my biggest goals is to make every child I care for feel safe, heard, and valued. I know every family comes from a different background, and I believe every child deserves patience, kindness, and a trusted adult they can feel comfortable with. Early childhood is such an important stage of life, and if I can make even a small positive impact on a child's day, I'll consider that a success. Outside of work, I'm a huge animal lover! I currently have one dog, 13 goats, 9 chickens, and two donkeys, so caring for animals is a big part of my everyday life. services i offer Babysitting and childcare Infant, toddler, and school-age care Homework help After-school care Meal and snack preparation (I love to cook!) Educational activities and creative play Bedtime routines Pet sitting Dog walking Feeding, exercising, and caring for pets of all kinds Child Care I worked at Ladybird Academy caring for children ranging from 5 months old to 9 years old. I've managed classrooms of about 20 three-year-olds as well as classes of around 20 first graders, and I truly loved every age group. I also worked in an after-school program where I helped children with homework, supervised activities, and made sure they had a fun and safe environment after school. Growing up, I've always loved helping care for my younger cousins, and children have always seemed to gravitate toward me. I like to think it's because I'm a little silly right along with them! I love keeping kids engaged with activities like Reading books Arts and crafts Board games Outdoor play Walks Creative games Educational activities Homework help I'm a great cook and would be happy to prepare meals and snacks. Patience is one of my greatest strengths, and I always strive to create a calm, encouraging environment where children feel confident being themselves. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I currently have one dog, 13 goats, 9 chickens, and two donkeys, so I'm very comfortable with a wide variety of animals and understand the responsibility that comes with caring for them every day and I love to do it! I'm confident adapting to each pet's individual personality and routine.

Josh $15 per hour for 1 child

I’m a reliable, energetic, and hands-on Manny who loves engaging kids in play, exploration, and learning. I bring a balance of fun and structure—whether it’s outdoor adventures, creative activities, or helping with routines like meals, naps, and diapering/potty training. I’m comfortable caring for toddlers and preschoolers, including those still in diapers or potty training. Safety is always my top concern, and I’m patient, calm, and consistent, even in busy or challenging moments. My approach is to meet children where they are, encouraging independence, curiosity, and kindness through active play, reading, and age-appropriate challenges. I’m dependable, punctual, and communicative, making it easy for parents to feel confident and informed about their child’s day.

"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)."
