Lea $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Lea, and I'm a junior at Williams College. I am offering childcare, pet care, and household services. I’ve had the pleasure of teaching and working with children both in and out of the classroom, and I am happy to provide tutoring services as well. I have experience teaching Social Studies, Poetry, and English. During the school year, I spend my free time tutoring students of all ages, mainly in writing and language arts. I am certified in adult, child, and baby first aid CPR/AED, as well as effective behavior management by the Children's Trust. Before college, I babysat kids aged 5-12 and absolutely loved it! I believe in fostering a fun and safe atmosphere for kids, whether it be through crafting, reading stories, or playing games. In addition to childcare, I can cook and clean, and I am happy to look after your pets. I have experience pet-sitting both dogs and cats and have a little dog of my own!

Xaviera $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is xaviera. I am a mother and older sister, and I have always enjoyed caring for and engaging with children with lots of creativity and love. I am a professional actress, which has taught me to be playful, patient, and very attentive to others’ needs. I had the wonderful experience of being an au pair in England, where I learned even more about childcare, responsibility, and the importance of creating a happy and safe environment. That time deeply influenced me and taught me how to connect with children in a close and natural way. I also love cooking homemade, nutritious, and tasty meals tailored to each family. I am very organized—I can cook, clean, tidy up, and keep the home comfortable and welcoming. I am committed to providing responsible, flexible, and respectful care. I would love to help your family with childcare, cooking, and organization to make your daily life easier and happier.

Courtney $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Courtney, and caring for others has always been at the heart of who I am. I have over ten years of professional experience working with children, from newborns to school-age, through my roles as a Nanny, Family Assistant, and Lead Preschool Teacher. My background in early childhood education and family support has given me a strong understanding of child development, organization, and the importance of creating a safe, loving, and engaging environment. I would describe myself as nurturing, patient, and active. I am someone who loves to be outdoors, explore nature, and keep children engaged through play and hands-on learning. I enjoy planning creative activities that encourage imagination and growth, whether it’s arts and crafts, sensory play, or outdoor adventures. In addition to childcare, I’m skilled at household management, including meal prep, errands, scheduling, and light housekeeping. Families I’ve worked with often say I bring calm, positivity and reliability to their home as someone they can trust to step in and keep things running smoothly. I also have experience caring for pets and seniors, and I bring the same compassion and attentiveness to every caregiving role I take on. My goal in every position is to support families in a meaningful way, providing the kind of care that helps children feel happy, confident, and loved while giving parents peace of mind.

"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)."
