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.

Arielys $18 per hour for 1 child

My name is Arielys (Ari for short) and I wanted to reach out about babysitting opportunities for your family. I grew up in a home where my mom runs a daycare, so I’ve truly been around children my entire life. Being in that environment every day gave me a natural comfort and familiarity with kids of all ages. Around the age of 13, I started developing a stronger interest in childcare and began helping out whenever I had time off from school eventually becoming an assistant for her. Since then, I’ve continued working with children from the newborn stage through toddler years, which is where I feel especially confident. I’ve built strong relationships with several families through my mom’s daycare and have consistently babysat for about 3–4 families. I genuinely love working with babies and infants, but I also enjoy engaging with older children and supporting their growth in different ways. In addition, I’m currently a student at Northeastern University studying Human Services, with the goal of becoming a foster care and adoption social worker or working in child welfare. As part of my experience, I’ve also worked with children ages 7–14 in a residential group home, which has strengthened my ability to be patient, attentive, and supportive in a variety of situations.Overall, I really enjoy being around kids and helping families however I can. I’m open to babysitting occasionally or more consistently depending on your schedule—whenever I’m needed.Thank you so much for your time, and I’d love to connect further!

"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

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)."
