Monica 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Monica I love children, I have experience with infants, toddlers, kindergarten, primary and special education, I love children of all ages and I like to do activities with them like reading, painting,craft, play game, help with homework and teach .

“Monica currently babysits my 8mo daughter 5 days a week while I am at work. When she initially arrived for the in-person interview, I could tell she had not only great experience with kids but is also very empathetic and safety-conscious, which are two very important traits I believe for a person taking care of an infant. She lets me know if she has any concerns and updates me about anything “new” in regards to my daughter . She is also very punctual and dependable; she is very interactive, engaging my daughter with toys, books, music, and conversation. I feel confident when I leave the house in the morning, knowing my daughter is in caring in capable hands. I am so grateful to have found her on Urban Sitters !”

⸻ Hi! My name is Tiara, and I’m offering child care, senior care, and household support services. I’ve been babysitting since I was 15 and have experience caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged children—including twins. My responsibilities have included school drop-offs and pick-ups, arts and crafts, tutoring, meal preparation, and even helping with dance lessons. In addition to childcare, I work as a household assistant and am happy to help with cooking, cleaning, organizing, and running errands. I also have hands-on experience caring for my own grandparents and am comfortable assisting with senior care needs such as meal preparation, transportation to appointments, and companionship.

“Tiara was great! My toddler felt comfortable going right to her. She was professional and made sure my toddler had a busy, fun day when daycare was cancelled. ”

"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)."
