Caroline $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi – My name is Caroline and I’m currently an English major at the University of South Carolina. I offer child care, pet care, and household services. I’ve been a caregiver since 2020, working with children of all ages to create a fun, safe, and structured environment. I help with meals, homework, bedtime routines, and enjoy reading and playing games with the kids I care for. I'm also experienced in pet care, including feeding, walking, and playtime. I’ve worked in customer service roles, like bussing at a country club, which strengthened my communication and multitasking skills.

Seneca $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Seneca (she/her), and I am a recent graduate of Yale University with a BA in Environmental Studies. I am offering child care, senior care, and pet sitting. Child Care Formally, I have over a year of experience providing childcare for a community organization while parents attend meetings or workshops, primarily for children ages 4-12. Informally, I have over a decade of experience in caring for children ranging from infants to pre-teens. I grew up caring for my younger cousins after school, ensuring their needs were met and that they had a range of fun, safe, and creative activities. I also have experience managing larger groups of children and youth. I worked as a lead coordinator for a youth leadership program for middle and high school students, where I co-led the development and facilitation of locally relevant educational activities and built youth leadership skills. Additionally, I worked as a tutor for the college-prep program Breakthrough, where I assisted middle school students in English, Social Studies, and writing skills. I am patient, and I enjoy getting to know the child. I am adaptable to the types of play or activities the child prefers, whether it is exploring a park, playing pretend, or making arts and crafts. I am very comfortable working with parents who have specific routines or parenting philosophies, as well as children who have particular care needs. Additionally, I am happy to help out with homework! Senior Care Though I don't have formal experience in senior care, I have assisted with the care of elderly family members in daily life, managed accessibility needs, and provided dedicated accompaniment during travel. I am happy to provide companionship and conversation, assist with medication management, perform light housework, and overall help with daily living activities. I am patient, enjoy listening, and am passionate about meeting people where they are at. Pet Care I grew up with dogs (two black labs and a chihuahua!) and am very comfortable around animals. In addition to following the pet's schedule and ensuring their needs are met, I can provide play, pets, and a calm, reliable presence for your pet.

Leila $15 per hour for 1 child

I'm PG county born and raised but go to art school in Ohio. So I'm great with silly kids arts and crafts.I was an assistant teacher for a summer working with a hiphop non-profit Words Beats & Life. I volunteered to help a DJ teacher with kids and keep them fed with snacks.I grew up in a big family where babysitting was free as long as you got food at the end of the night. Said babysitting also included pets such as dogs and cats, as well as cleaning from time to time. I've handled a fair share of tantrums and I'm a big time-out supporter. I'm vegetarian so I know a lot of healthy recipes. As for unhealthy recipes I make a mean mac'n'cheese. Hope to hear from you soon.

"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)."
