Emma $15 per hour for 1 child

I have over 8 years of experience working with children, starting with one family I’ve consistently babysat for since I was a teenager. Over the past year, I’ve also worked as a nanny for two additional families, providing dependable and nurturing care for children ranging in age from infants to preteens. My responsibilities have included everything from school pickups and meal prep to playtime, bedtime routines, and creating a structured but fun environment. My reliability and strong relationships with the families I work with have also led them to trust me with house-sitting and pet care duties while they’re away. I’ve looked after dogs of various breeds and energy levels, making sure they’re walked, fed, and given attention and companionship while their owners are out of town. My experience reflects not only my love for children and animals but also the high level of trust others place in me to care for what matters most to them.

Destiney $16 per hour for 1 child

Baby sitting is super rewarding to me. I love to help parents be able to complete their daily task while be assured that their child or children are properly taken care of and in good hands. Being currently pregnant myself, I understand the need for a compassionate, caring and focused baby sitter. I have 3 years of experience, with children in day centers , schools and residents.

Chloe 1 review
$15 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Chloe, and I am currently a freshman at the University of Cincinnati. I offer childcare, household assistance, and pet care services. I do want to mention that I do not currently have my driver’s license or my own vehicle yet, so I would not be able to transport children or run errands. However, I am still able to help with many other responsibilities around the home. I previously babysat for a family that I became very close with when I was 15–16 years old, and I absolutely loved it. My responsibilities included playing with the kids, taking them outside, preparing meals, putting them to bed, doing laundry, washing dishes, tidying up the house, and helping care for the family pets. In addition to childcare, I also offer household assistance and pet care. I am comfortable cooking, cleaning, organizing, and taking care of animals. I consider myself a very kind, patient, and caring person. I truly enjoy working with kids and creating a positive bond with them so both the children and parents feel comfortable and supported.

Chloe is very trustworthy and loves kids. She is good at figuring stuff out and responsible. She is hard working and has good communication. She is a good listener. Also very creative when it comes to kids. There was a situation where I forgot to bring cookies for a party. She ran to the store and got some for me.

"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)."
