I am a dependable and nurturing babysitter with experience caring for children from 5 weeks old to teenagers, including those with special needs. I create a safe, engaging, and positive environment where children can learn, play, and feel comfortable. I enjoy planning age-appropriate activities, helping with routines, and supporting each child’s individual needs.

Isabella $19 per hour for 1 child

Hii my names Isabella ! I’m a 20 year old currently studying Biology with a focus on Genetics. I’m in my final year and excited to be just one year away from earning my bachelor’s degree. I’ve always been passionate about science and the way it helps us understand life on a deeper level, especially in the field of genetics. I’ve also always had a natural connection with kids I love spending time with them, learning from their curiosity, and helping them grow. Growing up, my family worked in household roles like housekeeping and house management, and they often took me along. So from a young age, I got to see what it means to be responsible, organized, and attentive to others’ needs. That experience really shaped the way I carry myself today. Outside of school and work, I love being outdoors, trying new foods, and finding little adventures around the city. Whether it’s going to a street market, spending time with family, or just relaxing with a good movie, I like to stay balanced and appreciate the small things in life.

Melody $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello families, My name is Melody, and I’m currently an assistant teacher at a Reggio-based school. I have 6+ years of experience working with children ages 4 months to 10 years old. I am very familiar with Montessori and Waldorf teaching as well. My hobbies include reading sci-fi books, yoga, marathon running, collecting vintage vinyls, and cooking plant-based meals! My passion for teaching/babysitting stems from having a younger sibling who’s on the spectrum, with whom I share a 16-year age gap. I’m a very active and theatrical person, which children enjoy! Moving around, being animated, and getting to their level allow me to help children feel comfortable in my presence. I am CPR and first aid certified. I have a lot of experience with cats as well since I used to foster kitties and had a few of my own growing up! I’m very excited to meet and experience you all.

Esha $16 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I am a 23 year old recent college graduate who is planning on starting nursing school this summer. I grew up as the eldest sibling and eldest cousin of our family, so I have had ample experience caring for younger children of all ages. I also have a 4-year-old golden retriever at home and love working with pets. My friends would describe me as energetic, optimistic, creative and responsible. I grew up babysitting children of family members and family friends ranging from 3 months to 12 years old. I also volunteered at the Post Anesthesia Care Unit at Lurie Children's Hospital for a summer, where I helped toddlers and young children recover after surgeries. Whether this meant playing bedside coloring book games, telling a funny story, taking patient temperatures, assisting with procedures and more -I have plenty of experience working with children and remaining calm in a high pressure setting. I am excited to use my experience to best care for your children and pets!

"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)."
