I’m a dependable and caring babysitter with 3 years of experience supporting families and caring for children from newborns to 10 years old. I’m certified in CPR, First Aid, and AED, so safety is always a top priority. I’ve helped with everything from diaper changes and feeding to homework, playtime, and bedtime routines. I’ve cared for up to three kids at once and bring patience, positive energy, and a calm presence to every home. Whether it’s a fun-filled day or a quiet evening routine, I aim to create a warm, safe, and engaging environment where kids feel secure and parents feel confident.

Julia was professional the entire time. Came on time and kept my child engaged the whole time. Our little one loved spending time with her.

Khwezi $15 per hour for 1 child

I have over two years of childcare experience as an au pair, as well as an additional six months of experience as a nanny. I genuinely love working with children and enjoy creating a safe, caring, positive, and fun environment where they can learn and grow. My childcare duties have included preparing meals and snacks, helping children get ready for the day, keeping their rooms and play areas organized, doing children’s laundry, planning fun and educational activities, reading with them, helping with homework, supervising playtime, and following their daily routines. I am patient, responsible, attentive, and always make sure the children’s safety and well-being come first. Outside of childcare, I enjoy reading and have a strong interest in makeup and beauty. I’m creative and enjoy expressing myself through makeup. Recently, I have also started enjoying working out and staying active, which has become a new hobby of mine.

Hello! My name is Lucy, I have 7 years of experience in the child care field. I have experience over the years as a nanny, registered behavior technician and teacher assistant. I’ve worked with children from infant to early teens over the years and love working with all age groups! I believe patience and flexibility is key when working with children, as well as making any task fun! Being interactive and involved as a caregiver is important to me when working with children.

Lucy is the best!!

"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)."
