Raquel $15 per hour for 1 child

I am currently a college student at Emmanuel College looking for a part-time job. I grew up in a small town in Massachusetts. I’ve always loved children and taking care of them. I find joy and excitement coming up with different activities to entertain them. I am very creative in that aspect. Growing up I would watch my younger cousins when necessary. In high school, I helped out at the after school program and had an internship with first grade classes. This summer I worked a summer camp with ages ranging from 2 years old to 8 years old.

Athena $20 per hour for 1 child

I bring a unique combination of nurturing experience and practical skills that make me a reliable, compassionate caregiver across multiple areas—whether caring for children, homes, or pets. As a mother, I understand the profound responsibility of caring for those who depend on us. I’ve worked as a babysitter, tutor, teacher, and mentor, giving me deep insight into child development, education, and creating safe, engaging environments where young people thrive. I’m patient and creative, skilled at adapting to different learning styles and personality types. My background in the healing arts—including acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, yoga, and coaching—has taught me to approach caregiving holistically. I’m attuned to both physical and emotional wellbeing, and I bring a calming, grounded presence to any situation. These skills make me especially effective at supporting wellness, managing stress, and creating peaceful environments. When it comes to household management, I have over 20 years of experience caring for properties, including 14 years as a homeowner and ongoing management of my parents’ homes. I’m detail-oriented and take genuine pride in maintaining spaces that are clean, organized, and welcoming. I’m also trained in energetic space clearing—a practice I’ve been developing for eight years—and I’m excited to bring this much-needed skill to house sitting. My excellent reviews as an Airbnb guest reflect my respect for others’ homes and my understanding of what makes a space feel truly cared for. While I’ve never owned a dog myself, I’ve always loved them and have regularly pet-sat and walked dogs for friends over the years. I’m comfortable with their needs, routines, and quirks, and I genuinely enjoy their company. What sets me apart is my mission-oriented approach: I don’t just complete tasks—I care about the people, animals, and spaces entrusted to me. I’m flexible and adapt easily to changing needs. I’m also an excellent communicator, keeping families informed and ensuring everyone feels heard. Above all, I’m compassionate and caring. Whether I’m supporting a family, maintaining a home, or walking a beloved pet, my role is to bring peace of mind, reliability, and genuine warmth to every interaction.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Alexandra $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Alex and I'm recent graduate of Wesleyan University. I'm offering childcare and household services. I love working with kids and have babysat (around my neighborhood growing up, no full time experience) as well as volunteered at an elementary and middle school in Middletown, CT as tutor and emotional support coach for kids. I have a car and drivers license so am able to drive if necessary. Also, I love doing fun activities like crafts and playing games to help get kids off technology! I feel comfortable cooking, cleaning, and running errands such as grocery shopping. I am comfortable with pets and pet care, and allergic to cats, but am alright with cats as long as I know in advance and can take medicine.

Livia $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Livia, nice to meet you! I have over 3 years of experience working as a nanny and supporting families with loving and attentive childcare. I truly enjoy being part of children's growth, learning, and everyday discoveries. I have experience caring for children from 1 to 15 years old and understand how each stage requires patience, creativity, and attention. I am warm, nurturing, and emotionally supportive, while also maintaining structure and responsibility. My goal is always to create a safe, happy, and engaging environment where children feel secure and valued. I carefully follow family routines, nutrition guidelines, and specific care instructions, and I adapt easily to each child's unique personality and needs. I am CPR and First Aid certified, including pediatric CPR, so safety is always my top priority. I am punctual, reliable, patient, and genuinely passionate about working with children. I would love to be someone your family can fully trust and depend on.

"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

"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)."
