Kintayja $30 per hour for 1 child

I have over 10 years of experience working in childcare as both a babysitter and nanny. Throughout my career, I expanded my experience by becoming a full spectrum doula. I've had the opportunity to support more than 100 families, with experience caring for newborns, multiples, assisting with sleep training, establishing routines, and providing overall family support. I'm a fun, loving, dependable, and outgoing caregiver who genuinely cares about each child's well-being. My goal is always to create a safe, nurturing, and comfortable environment where children can feel secure, supported, and cared for. I'm currently continuing my education within the healthcare which allows me to bring an even deeper understanding of pregnancy, newborn care, and family support into my work. At this time, I'm primarily interested in one-time, occasional, and temporary childcare positions which includes overnight. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!

Olivia $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Olivia, and I have a background in luxury retail, customer service, and caregiving for children in my family. I’ve helped care for my 5-year-old nephew along with several younger cousins over the years, so I’m very comfortable keeping kids entertained, safe, and engaged. I’m patient, energetic, reliable, and love creating a fun environment where children feel comfortable and cared for. I offer babysitting, homework help, light housekeeping, meal/snack prep, bedtime routines, errands, and pet care if needed. I’m very hands-on and attentive — I’m not someone who sits on my phone while watching kids. They always have my full attention. I have experience with toddlers and young children and enjoy activities like arts & crafts, movies, outdoor walks, games, baking, reading, and creative play. I’m also happy to help with schoolwork and keeping routines organized. I’m comfortable around pets, including larger dogs, and can help with feeding, walks, and playtime. I’m also open to helping with household tasks like laundry, tidying up, organizing, dishes, and grocery runs. While I’m not CPR certified yet, I’m very open to becoming certified and take child safety seriously. I’m flexible, dependable, and excited to help make life easier for busy families!

Alex $15 per hour for 1 child

I am an artist with extensive service industry experience. In addition to yoga instruction, I am very passionate about both art therapy and health consciousness. I fell into Care-giving after my mum suffered a brain aneurysm rupture in March of 2020. My Pandemic experience was filled with aiding my brain damaged mother during every day tasks. I learned so much....about care giving and about myself. My patience and understanding have been the strength that keeps me going. The experience has made me even more mentally flexible and welcoming of any challenge; new or existing. My Theatre training has also been tantamount to my ability to relate to and engage with others. I look forward to meeting new people and helping anyone I can. My name means 'savior of men'. But, I'm happy knowing I made someone's life a little better than it was. And, I most definitely plan to stay on said path.

"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)."
