Chloe $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Chloe and I am a senior at Northeastern University studying finance and economics, with a deep passion for the arts and creativity. Outside of the classroom, I spent fifteen years training competitively as a figure skater, and I love bringing that same focus, energy, and dedication into my work with families. I love finding engaging, hands-on ways to connect with kids, whether we are exploring watercolor painting, learning a bit about art history, or chatting about different cultures I have experienced while traveling. I offer both child care and household services, bringing extensive experience with children ranging from ages three to sixteen. Over the years, I have provided everything from after-school care to physical training through figure skating lessons, ensuring that kids stay active, keep up with their homework, and have genuine fun. Because of the close bonds I build, many of my after-school families have transitioned me into long-term, one-on-one care throughout the summers and school years. I am also happy to help keep your home running smoothly by assisting with light cleaning, organizing, and local errands or grocery pickups. I treat every child with the utmost love and respect, and I look forward to supporting your family. Thank you!

Eyvonne $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Eyvonne,I have a strong background in early childhood education, with both formal qualifications and extensive hands-on experience. I hold certifications in childhood education and am EE certified, which means I have the necessary training and knowledge to provide high-quality early education. Additionally, I have an Associate’s degree in Psychology, which has given me a deep understanding of child development, behavior, and emotional well-being. My Master’s degree in Business Administration (MBA) has also provided me with valuable skills in organization, leadership, and management—essential for handling multiple responsibilities in a childcare setting.For over 10 years, I worked in daycares with children aged 4 months to 6 years, where I gained extensive experience in early childhood development. I also spent 10 years nannying and babysitting for families, giving me the opportunity to provide personalized, one-on-one care tailored to each child’s unique 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."

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)."
