Makaya $21 per hour for 1 child

I have experience caring for both seniors and children, from 60-year-olds to infants as young as 2 months. As the oldest of six, I’m patient, reliable, and nurturing. I’ve worked in a daycare, been a nanny for two years, and I’m comfortable helping with routines, meals, light housekeeping, and keeping both kids and older adults safe, comfortable, and supported.

Hi! I’m a Northeastern University student with several years of childcare experience from working in a daycare and babysitting for families. I’ve worked with infants, toddlers, and school-aged children, helping with routines, playtime, and early learning like ABCs and basic skills. I’m very patient, reliable, and love creating a safe, fun, and structured environment for kids. I’m also comfortable helping with homework, meals, and bedtime routines. I have CPR and first aid knowledge (currently renewing certification), and I take safety very seriously. I’m available for occasional, part-time, or consistent weekly care and would love to support your family!

Caron $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello families! My journey in childcare began in high school when I helped at my aunt’s daycare, and I’ve been dedicated to working with children ever since. For 7 years, I worked with the YMCA as both a counselor and Assistant Director, supporting children ages 5–12 in after school and summer camp programs. I also gained hands-on experience caring for infants and toddlers in the YMCA daycare. I now serve as a substitute teacher with Boston Public Schools while completing my BA in Early Education & Care in Inclusive Settings. This role has strengthened my ability to adapt to different classrooms, support diverse learners, and build meaningful connections with children of all ages. As a mom myself, I understand the importance of finding someone you can truly trust with your little ones. Families describe me as fun, empathetic, and creative. I love making learning and play engaging, and I take pride in ensuring every child feels safe, supported, and valued. My schedule is flexible, and I’m happy to work with you to meet your family’s needs.

"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)."
