Madi $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Madi and I’m currently a sophomore in college. I have several years of babysitting experience caring for children of different ages, from young kids to middle schoolers. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive, and I always prioritize creating a safe and fun environment. I’m comfortable handling daily routines such as meals, homework help, bedtime, and driving children to activities when needed. I’m also very mindful of children’s allergies and individual needs, and I communicate clearly with parents to ensure their expectations are met.

Naomi $25 per hour for 1 child

I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with kids. I’m currently working toward my CPR and First Aid certifications and have several years of hands-on childcare experience with family, including helping with meals, homework, activities, transportation, daily routines, and caring for newborns. I’m also happy to help with light housekeeping and meal prep when needed. My goal is always to create a safe, fun, and caring environment where children feel comfortable and supported.

I have a 5-consecutive hours minimum per day. 2. If you cancel with less than 24hrs notice please pay for the hours you booked. 😁 I am available more hours in the summers. ●One of my favorite children's book is The Alphabet Tree. ●I have managed vacation rental properties and I have household manager experience. ●I am first-aid certified BLS/AED as a professional for infants, children and adults. ●Comfortable around pets.

“Louise was wonderful to work with! I hired Louise for a 2-day event with other caregivers, and she worked with our babies. She was very thorough and thoughtful, and I knew our littles were in great hands with her and her expertise.”

"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."

Amy L., mom of one

"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

"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)."
