Ann $16 per hour for 1 child

Hi - My name is Ann and 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. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, tutoring, and general care. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I also have experience taking care of elderly people so I am comfortable with senior care. I can cook, drive to appointments, or do other tasks. I am happy to work with families with dogs or cats.

Angel $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Angel-Grace (Gracie for short) and my experiences includes babysitting for the church near my colleges kids (from 6months to 5 years old) twice weekly and also frequently babysitting for a few of the parent's children at their homes. I have also been babysitting my many nieces and nephews beforehand, from newborn up to teens. (they were the reason for the major i chose, which is child development). I am also an online student now so i am available full time. I want to build my experience as a nanny to get better with understanding children, which will help with my future dream career in helping them out ! I also want to eventually be able to help with special needs so I am learning about that as well. I'm also a closet organizer and willing to help organize any parts of house that needs it! I am great with cleaning and do not mind housework, best with laundry, also love doing arts and crafts, anything disney, and outdoor fun !

Booked by 6 families in Polk City, FL

I have four children of my own 18,14,11, & 6. I just graduated with my bachelor's degree in BA/Human Resource Management/Marketing. I love children very much. There imaginations keep us young and I learn a bit from them everyday. I live to watch them grow and learn as they develop their own personality and sense of who they are becoming. I am fully vaccinated and practice all safety procedures to ensure little to no exposure.

Christine was great with the kids and made me feel totally comfortable leaving them. She also picked up and cleaned my kitchen for me! Would recommend.

Lorena 2 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! I’m a dedicated and experienced nanny with over 10 years of caring for children from newborns to teenagers. I truly love working with kids and building strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents. I’m patient, reliable, and nurturing, and I always aim to create a safe, positive, and engaging environment. I enjoy planning fun, age-appropriate activities like arts and crafts, outdoor play, and learning-based games. I’m attentive to each child’s individual needs and take pride in being someone families can rely on and feel comfortable with. I’m also happy to help with routines such as school drop-offs/pickups, homework, and daily schedules. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and your child’s safety and well-being are always my top priority. In addition to childcare, I can assist with cooking, organizing, and running errands to help make your day-to-day life easier. Looking forward to connecting with your family!

A word of recommendation for Lorena: She has babysat for our children AJ (6) and Margot (2) for around a year now. Lorena is kind and caring and the kids have a great time with her. She is always our first call. She has great experience with children and knows how to handle our 6 year old boy when he is being challenging. Another thing that we appreciate is that she is very responsive on text both with her availability and when we are out regarding the kids. We appreciate Lorena!

Booked by 2 families in Polk City, FL

I am an artistic, detail oriented person whom has more than ten years of experience caring for children. I enjoy going swimming with the kids I care for. We love cooking snacks together and reading books after we try our creations. Safety is always a priority when I am caring for children or teaching kids. Listening to music, dancing, acting, building with legos, arts, crafts and completing learning activities together is always fun!

"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)."
