$21 per hour for 1 child

My name is Kimarah, and I am a 22-year-old student working toward a career in nursing. I am passionate about supporting children and helping them grow and thrive in a variety of ways, and I am pleased to offer babysitting services to families in my community. I have several years of experience working with children through babysitting, after-school programs, and summer camps. I have worked with a wide range of age groups, which has helped me develop the skills to connect with children and provide age-appropriate activities that are both engaging and nurturing. I especially enjoy arts and crafts, including activities such as coloring and creating designs with clay—one of my favorite activities to share with children. In addition to direct childcare, I am able to assist with: • Light cleaning • Preparing and providing snacks • Homework help, as needed For the safety and comfort of everyone, please note that I am allergic to cats; however, dogs are okay. I am also CPR certified, as required for professionals working with children, and I am committed to maintaining a safe, caring, and supportive environment for every child in my care.

“I highly recommend Kimarah as a babysitter. She is fun, engaging, and builds strong connections with children of all ages. She is especially skilled at supporting kids with challenging behaviors, handling situations calmly and thoughtfully. She has excellent conflict-resolution skills, is kind and understanding, and knows how to make every child feel seen and valued. She is also very sporty and enjoys playing games and sports with kids, which makes her a dynamic and energetic presence. Children naturally respond to her warmth and guidance, and I am confident she would be a wonderful and reliable babysitter.”

"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)."
