$23 per hour for 1 child

I’m a warm, trustworthy, and energetic babysitter with over 5 years of paid childcare experience and nearly a decade of caring for younger family members. My childcare journey started early, helping out with little cousins and siblings, and it naturally grew into something I truly love doing supporting families and creating safe, happy spaces for kids to thrive. As a current college student, I balance professionalism with a youthful, engaging personality that kids connect with. I understand that every child is unique, so I adapt quickly to their needs whether that means being patient with a shy toddler, helping a school-aged child with homework, or organizing creative games and activities to keep little ones entertained and learning. Parents who have worked with me describe me as dependable, responsible, and nurturing. I always prioritize safety while ensuring that children feel comfortable, cared for, and respected. I believe babysitting is more than just supervision it’s about building trust, supporting development, and giving parents peace of mind knowing their children are in good hands. Some highlights of what I bring: • Experience with all ages: infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-aged children. • Safety-minded care: I am attentive, reliable, and know how to keep children safe while encouraging independence. • Engaging personality: I love arts and crafts, reading stories, playing games, exploring outdoors, and finding age-appropriate activities that spark creativity and joy. • Support for parents: I’m happy to help with light meal prep, bedtime routines, homework. At the heart of everything I do is my genuine love for children and my respect for the trust families place in me. My goal is always to make sure your child feels safe, happy, and cared for while also helping your household run smoothly. If you’re looking for a sitter who is reliable, compassionate, and committed to providing excellent care, I’d love the opportunity to support your family.

$20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Phindi (the ‘H’ is silent), I'm a dependable, patient, and caring caregiver with years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns and infants to toddlers and school-aged children. As a parent myself, I understand the importance of providing a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn, play, and thrive. In addition to raising my own child, I have cared for my grandmother, assisting with companionship, meal preparation, light housekeeping, and daily living tasks. This experience strengthened my compassion, patience, and ability to provide attentive care to people of all ages. I also have experience with house sitting and can assist with light housekeeping, laundry, meal and snack preparation, homework help, bedtime routines, organizing, pet care, and keeping the home tidy while you're away. I enjoy reading with children, arts and crafts, educational activities, outdoor play, and helping them reach developmental milestones in a fun and positive way. I often volunteer at my child's school during book fairs and other school events, where I work with students, teachers, and families. I am also pursuing an Associate of Applied Science in Cloud and Information Technology, which has strengthened my organization, communication, and problem-solving skills. Families can count on me to be reliable, trustworthy, and attentive. My goal is to give parents peace of mind by providing compassionate, dependable care and treating every child and home with the same respect and attention I would give my own.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
