Sandrita $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, My name is Sandrita but you can also call me Sandy! I work with kids/students of all ages to create a safe, positive environment where they feel comfortable and cared for. I have prior babysitting experience and currently serve in the children’s ministry at my church caring for 2-year-olds. I’ve also worked with elementary aged kids and also have led high school student groups and summer camps, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of ages. I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment through play, reading, and simple routines, and I’m happy to help with preparing meals and snacks. I’m bilingual as I speak both English and Spanish. I also maintain a non-smoking and alcohol-free lifestyle. I enjoy building positive, meaningful connections with the children I care for and would love the opportunity to support your family as your babysitter!

Samantha $22 per hour for 1 child

I have experience caring for children and elderly family members. I helped take care of my younger brother, who is 13 years younger than me, while my mom was working. I did everything for him: bathing, changing diapers, feeding, playing, taking him out for fresh air, and accompanying him to medical appointments. I also took care of my grandfather, who was bedridden, assisting with bathing and feeding. Additionally, I have experience with pets, as I have my own pet who is 6 years old. I am currently finishing my degree in Finance and I am fluent in both Portuguese and English.

"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)."
