Nikolina $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! So I'll start by saying my major "professional" experience of babysitting was short lived and it was in high school, so probably not very relevant. My current/most recent experience in care-giving is helping take care of my best friend's 2-year old baby girl. I have spent half and full days with her alone. I'd like to believe she enjoys her time with me. The reference can be given by her mother 😊. I have taken care of an elderly woman for pay, very kind Polish speaking lady that I've grown very fond of but only took care of part time. About 2 years back- the job was to help feed her, go to the restroom and just be a companion. It was a temporary but very fruitful experience. I can provide the daughter's number for reference as well. I have this fairly new God given love for children. I genuinely love caring for them, listening to them, and being around them. I never had the means to finish higher education but I was a great student all throughout the schooling I did receive. My eagerness to learn is still very much here. So whatever your needs for your child may be, I will do my best to accommodate them. I'm happy to go on a trial period for less pay- considering my lack of professional experience. I am moving to west Florida towards the end of the year- God willing. Just in case you're looking for long term care, I completely understand. I really feel called to this field. I can't imagine how difficult it is to entrust your child to a stranger. All I can promise is that I will treat your child with the upmost respect, love, and kindness- the way I plan to treat my future children.

Booked by 1 family in Fort Lauderdale, FL

I am a compassionate, reliable caregiver with a diverse background in wellness, childcare, and senior support. I bring a positive, upbeat energy into every home and am deeply committed to helping others feel safe, supported, and cared for. I have hands-on experience supporting seniors and individuals undergoing chemotherapy and managing Parkinson’s, with a strong focus on attentive care, comfort, and emotional support. I also assist with transportation to medical appointments, running errands, and daily tasks to make life easier and more manageable. I am also an airline pilot and took a meaningful break from flying to care for my own mother during her health journey. That experience deepened my compassion, patience, and understanding of the level of care and attention families truly need during difficult times. As a certified yoga instructor and group fitness instructor, I have taught private sessions to seniors in both yoga and aquafit, helping improve mobility, strength, and overall well-being in a safe and encouraging environment. My experience with children began at a young age through neighborhood babysitting and continued as a youth soccer coach for 4–5 year olds, a swim instructor, and a teacher’s assistant for young children. I have also worked with children with special needs, including teaching swimming lessons to children with Down syndrome to support coordination and gait development. I love engaging children through creativity—whether it’s sewing projects, putting on plays, or encouraging them to sing, dance, and express themselves. I strive to create a fun, active, and nurturing environment where kids can learn, build confidence, and thrive. I am naturally curious and love learning, especially when it comes to science and how the body works. I enjoy helping children learn and grow, and I have experience tutoring both economics and math at the college level, bringing patience and clarity to every lesson. In addition, I’ve completed nutrition coursework through the Gerson Institute, gaining knowledge in preparing nourishing meals and fresh juices to support overall health and wellness. I am passionate about helping others live their best lives and approach every role with kindness, patience, and respect. My background as a certified spinning instructor, yoga teacher, and airline pilot reflects my discipline, reliability, and strong commitment to safety and service. I’m new to UrbanSitter, but I’m happy to provide references.

Camille was referred to me by a neighbor who gave her a glowing recommendation. I first hired Camille nearly five years ago when I needed help caring for my grandson, who was visiting from Hawaii. She was wonderful when I dropped him off at her home, she had the pool ready and games planned. He had a fantastic time, and she truly helped me out while I needed to complete a work project. I later hired Camille again to help care for my aunt, who had Parkinson’s disease. She stayed with us until my aunts passing. My Aunt Helga always looked forward to Camille’s visits. They went on walks, practiced gentle yoga, and Camille kept her active and engaged for as long as possible. As her condition progressed, Camille also supported our family through hospice care. Camille is dependable, attentive, and genuinely caring. No one alone in our family could have balanced work and my aunts care without her help. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate caregiver.

"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)."
