Kiara $25 per hour for 1 child

I’m Kiara, a compassionate, high-energy caregiver dedicated to creating a safe, stimulating, and joyful environment where children can learn, play, and thrive. ​My foundation in childcare runs deep: as the eldest, I played a key hands-on role in raising my two younger siblings from my early teenage years. That experience taught me the real-world essentials of childcare; from managing dynamic daily routines, meal prep, and bedtime transitions to staying calm under pressure and offering patient, supportive guidance at every stage of growth. ​Children are naturally curious, and I thrive on nurturing that trait through interactive storytelling, creative arts, outdoor movement, and hands-on learning activities. Whether it’s assisting with homework, guiding imaginative play, or managing daily schedules, my priority is ensuring your kids feel secure, valued, and genuinely engaged.

Grace $25 per hour for 1 child

My name is Grace W and I am a 21 year old recent graduate of Indiana University, where I received a degree in Speech, Language, and Hearing sciences! I have 10 years of nannying experience and ensure a safe and fun environment for all the kiddos I watch! I love to integrate learning experiences into the games we play and advocate for as much physical activity as we can get! With previous families I have worked with I have been responsible for preparing snacks, dinners, and helping out with household chores like laundry and sweeping! I will be working at Tufts Medical Center for the year while applying to graduate programs! I am looking for a family that needs an occasional date night sitter and extra help during the week after I get off work!

Caridad $27 per hour for 1 child

I have been working in childcare since 2017, primarily in center-based environments, where I have held lead teacher positions throughout my career. Working with children has always been something I'm deeply passionate about, and I have experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to school-aged children. In addition to my childcare background, I took some time to expand my professional experience by working as a retail technology manager on Newbury Street in Boston. That role strengthened my leadership, communication, organization, and problem- solving skills, all of which I bring into my work with children and families. After stepping away to enjoy maternity leave with my own baby, I am now looking for a wonderful family to support through babysitting or nannying. Ideally, I'm seeking a position that would allow me to bring my child along two days per week as part of the schedule. I understand the importance of creating a safe, nurturing, engaging, and dependable environment for children, and I strive to build strong, trusting relationships with both kids and parents alike. I am caring, patient, reliable, and experienced, and I truly enjoy helping children learn, grow, and thrive. I am new to this app as of recently I have been on sitter city where I have a 5 star review. I haven't found a long term job so I have decided to move over to urban sitter for a try. Thanks for your time!

Isabella $22 per hour for 1 child

I am a responsible, active, and caring individual with hands-on experience providing full-time child care during summer months. In this role, I supported families by caring for children throughout the day while also helping maintain an organized and comfortable home environment. I regularly handled household responsibilities such as cleaning, doing laundry, and cooking meals for the family, which helped create a smooth daily routine. When caring for children, I enjoy being fully engaged and present, participating in activities that genuinely interest them while also introducing age-appropriate games, crafts, and structured play. I believe in following a child’s lead to encourage independence and confidence, while also providing gentle structure to support their day and keep routines consistent. I am energetic and enjoy active play, whether that involves outdoor activities, creative projects, or imaginative games. I focus on creating a safe, positive environment where children feel supported, respected, and encouraged to learn through play. In addition to child care, I am comfortable assisting with basic pet care such as feeding, playing, and supervising pets as part of a household routine, including homes with shedding animals. I am also experienced in household services such as tidying, organizing, running light errands, and meal preparation. Overall, I take pride in being dependable, attentive, and adaptable, and I strive to support families by meeting both their child care and household needs in a thoughtful and reliable way.

"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)."
