Booked by 1 family in California, KY

Hello everyone, I'm 28 and looking for a babysitter, nanny, date night and night time sitter positions. I am a graduate of Psychological Counseling and Guidance in 2018. I have more than 4 years of childcare experience. I was an Au pair for 2 years and currently I do babysitting for couple families and want to fill my free days. Thanks!

Selay was wonderful! We really appreciated her responsiveness and ability to take in a lot of new information for her first sit and take great care of our two-year-old. Would highly recommend!

Hi Laura here, I am offering childcare and senior care services. I love babysitting and taking care of people in generally and tend to form a healthy bond with kids very easily. I think my longest experience is baby sitting my 3 year old sister for 3 years straight although I don’t stay with her anymore. This was a bitter sweet experience for me but a part of me can do anything to have that back and would love to treat your kids like my sisters or brothers. I’m a lover of pets too. Both cats and dogs. (I hardly get on here, However I actively respond to DMs because I get them directly and i’m as reliable as it gets)

Laura was punctual, courteous, and great with my boys. They felt comfortable with her right away. I would happily book her again.

I’ve always had a deep sense of empathy and responsibility, which naturally led me to caregiving, pet care and taking care of families. Over the years, I’ve provided attentive and compassionate care for seniors, pets, and households — creating safe, supportive, and positive environments for every client I work with. As a dedicated pet sitter, I provide attentive, loving care for animals of all kinds — from daily walks and feeding schedules to playtime, grooming, and companionship. I make sure pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away, maintaining routines and monitoring for any changes in behavior or health. I treat every animal as if they were my own — with patience, affection, and consistency. In addition to pet care, I offer reliable household services to keep homes organized and welcoming. This includes light cleaning, laundry, meal prep, plant care, and managing daily tasks to ensure everything runs smoothly. I take pride in creating tidy, stress-free environments where families — and their pets — can thrive. I'm certified as a pet first aid & CPR, also trained in pet senior care. Also certified in first aid & CPR for people as well!

I can't recommend Jennifer enough! She took absolutely amazing care of my pup while I was away. Not only did my dog get plenty of love, walks, and fun outings, but my home was also spotless when I returned — it was such a great feeling to come back to a happy dog and a clean house. It was clear from the updates I received that she truly cared and went above and beyond. I felt totally at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. If you're looking for someone reliable, responsible, and genuinely great with dogs and household cleaning, she's the one!

I’ve been providing state-licensed care for over 10 years (and even longer overall!), including care for seniors, pets, and managing household tasks. I also have three wonderful children of my own, aged 15, 10, and 7. My passion lies in caring for others—whether it’s children, seniors, pets, or maintaining a well-organized home. I truly cherish every moment of it. For me, it’s not just a job; it’s a deeply rewarding experience, and I’m committed to ensuring safety, promoting growth, and creating a clean, supportive environment for everyone in my care. Currently, I’m working in a preschool classroom for a school district. With the school year coming to an end, I’m excited and ready to help families with their little ones. Please feel free to reach out with any questions—I’d love to help!

Kay helped with cleaning! We are satisfied!

"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."

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
