Keerthana $25 per hour for 1 child

I spent 2-3 years working as a certified behavioral technician with children who have autism and special needs, including nonverbal kids and children with challenging behaviors. That experience taught me deep patience, consistency, and how to connect with kids who communicate differently. I recently graduated from Worcester Polytechnic Institute with a degree in Computer Science and am in my gap year, which means I have a flexible schedule and a lot of availability. I've also babysat my younger cousins throughout my life and am comfortable with everything from diapering and feeding infants to homework help and activities with older kids. I have my own car and am happy to drive. I'm also a cat owner and comfortable with pets.

Estrellita $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Estrellita and I'm a responsible, calm, and caring person who enjoys helping others and creating safe, comfortable environments. I have some previous experience caring for children in my home country, where I worked as a nanny for a family. Through this, I learned the importance of patience, attentiveness, and following routines to ensure children feel secure and well cared for. I am reliable, detail-oriented, and very respectful of each family’s guidelines and parenting style. I take safety seriously and always aim to create a positive and supportive environment. I’m also interested in pet sitting and dog walking, as I feel very comfortable around animals and enjoy giving them attention, patience, and care. I believe clear communication and trust are essential, and I always show up on time and prepared. I’m excited to continue gaining experience and supporting families in a thoughtful and responsible way.

Karen $18 per hour for 1 child

I have experience with all ages of children and working with the senior population as well. I love to immerse myself into the world of the "littles" and see things through their eyes. It is amazing to watch them learn and grow when you become united in their daily activities. With the senior population, I love listening to their stories and letting them enjoy bringing their past experiences into any present situations we are currently enjoying. I also have experience with those that have memory issues and understand how to help them through their frustrations when needed.

"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)."
