Lucila $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I am Lucila but you can also call me Mari. I am currently a senior at DeVry University and I have about 4-5 years of consecutive experience providing childcare for children mostly 5 and up. I am patient, attentive, and truly enjoy creating a fun and safe environment for kids. I love doing crafts, board games and puzzles but I can also help with homework, light cleaning and organizing especially after activities I have done a lot of school pickups(mostly walking to and from school). I love pets, mostly dogs. I might just take some time warming up to cats but don’t mind them at all.

Kamyah $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kamya’h, and I truly love being a sitter because caring for children comes naturally to me. I have about 5–6 years of experience babysitting children of different ages, and I’m very patient, calm, and understanding. I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids feel comfortable and supported. I can help with meals, light cleaning, homework, playtime, and bedtime routines. As a parent myself, I understand how important trust and communication are, and I always treat every child as if they were my own.

"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."

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)."
