Sean 1 review
$18 per hour for 1 child

I’m a people person through and through — caring for others has always come naturally to me. I’ve spent the past few years doing a little bit of everything: babysitting, nannying, housecleaning, organizing, and supporting families who just need that extra set of reliable hands. I’ve worked with kids of all ages, from energetic toddlers to thoughtful teens. I love finding fun ways to keep them engaged, creative, and laughing. Arts and crafts, dancing in the living room, reading storybooks with silly voices, that’s my kind of day. When it comes to cleaning and housekeeping, I’m equal parts detail oriented and easygoing. I actually enjoy bringing order and sparkle back into a space , there’s something so satisfying about making a home feel peaceful again. I’m big on communication and always check in to make sure things are done the way you like them. I think everyone deserves to feel seen, safe, and respected. And if there’s a pet in the house, even better! I’m the type who talks to animals like they understand every word. People usually describe me as dependable, kind, and upbeat. I’m the person who shows up on time, keeps a positive attitude, and genuinely cares about the people (and pets!). At the end of the day, my goal is simple: to make life a little easier, a little cleaner, and a lot brighter for the families I work with.

Sean is a very talented and genuinely kind person who loves helping kids find their dreams and follow through with their goals! I worked with him while we led theatre camp, he is very good at keeping kids attention and making sure everyone is having fun and can be themselves! Kids love him !

Briana $18 per hour for 1 child

I have always had a passion for working with children. I am certified in Early Childhood Education and have hands-on experience caring for infants and toddlers, including my 1-year-old twin baby sisters. Although I chose not to pursue a long-term career in early childhood education due to financial considerations, I remain dedicated to child care and development. I am currently continuing my education with the goal of becoming a NICU nurse, as I am deeply committed to providing compassionate care to newborns and their families. In addition to my child care experience, I have a valid driver’s license and reliable transportation, allowing me to safely take children to school, appointments, or other activities as needed. I am also capable of assisting with light housekeeping, meal preparation, and maintaining a clean, safe environment for children.

"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)."
