Hi! I'm Kathryn - kids call me KP. Friends have also referred to me as Aunt Kathryn, Baby Whisperer and Better Mommy. (That last one comes from a pretty specific sense of humor!). My very first job was babysitting when I was 11. I worked my way through high school and college as a nanny, babysitter and camp counselor. An unexpected lay-off means I have some downtime while I find a new f/t job and I find kid care to be one of the best things for me in times like these. Living and working solo means that a focus on taking care of people can be really restorative. And that solo time makes it easier for me to be fully present and engaged and infinitely patient when I am with kids. I love newborns - I earned the "baby whisperer" nickname because babies stop crying when I hold them. Many friends have asked me to be their new baby's first babysitter. I have spent more than a few hours in the NICU with friends' new babies and I can handle very young and special needs babies. I also love older kids - I do arts & crafts, baking and cooking, dance parties, field trips, nature & outside time, etc. Two of my favorite secret tricks are pipe cleaners and the Ministry of Silly Walks. Nutrition and health are serious hobbies for me - I am a great home cook and a registered yoga teacher. Cleaning isn't my favorite but I like to take care of people, and I love seeing the relief on people's faces when I finish some laundry or dishes or other cleaning task they're dreading. Mostly, I love meeting humans of all ages wherever they are and engaging on their level. I'm loving, compassionate, non-judgmental and fun. I'm also super no-nonsense and really great at boundaries and expectations. I'd love to meet your family!

KP was great with our kids. She understands their developmental levels and interacts with them appropriately. She’s respectful and left the place clean. Definitely recommend!

Hi,My name is Yolanda. I have 8 years child care experience and have worked with kids ages 0-16 years of age.I am First aid and CPR certified. I am fully vaccinated too. I have hands on experience caring for newborns, including feeding, burping, changing diapers, and establishing sleep routines. I’m comfortable preparing bottles, sterilizing equipment, and keeping detailed logs for parents. I also focus on providing a safe, nurturing environment and supporting early development through tummy time and gentle interaction. I’m skilled in recognizing cues for hunger, tiredness, or discomfort and responding quickly with care. Beyond basic needs, I enjoy bonding with babies through gentle play, singing, and reading. My experience with toddlers and children includes guiding them through daily routines, from meals and naps to bath and bedtime. I enjoy planning fun, interactive activities that encourage learning, such as puzzles, sensory play, pretend play, taking walks, the park and reading. I also help with homework and school readiness for older kids. I’m patient, creative, and committed to providing a caring environment that helps children feel secure and grow with confidence. What I love most about Taking care of Kids is that, that’s the only time I can get to be a kid and I believe kids give me new and positive energy everyday. Taking care of kids is the best way to spend my days because kids are pretty awesome, Tiny little humans who are honest, funny, affectionate and help you get out of your head for a while. Taking care of kids gives me more reason to relive my childhood days because In that way I can get to indulge in movies,books and games I loved as a kid growing up and it gives me more practice to prepare myself for handling my own kids someday. I love what I do and perform this job with great dedication, commitment and ambition. I know how important it is to provide kids with individual attention therefore I am happy to spend that time with them. The safety and well being of the kids are my priority and my highest bid. In my spare time I love to read, write, bake, cook, hike, and play sports (Field hockey, swim and volleyball). Taking care of kids is not easy but it is definitely a great experience to share with them. I promise your kids will be in safe hands and have a ton of fun. I am looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you for considering my application.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
