Fritz-mateen $18 per hour for 1 child

As a caregiver, my name Fritz, I am driven by a deep passion for offering care and support to those who need it most. Through my experiences caring for children, seniors, and pets, as well as my younger brother with Down syndrome and my autistic nephew, I have honed my skills and become a well-rounded caregiver. With my CPR certification, my compassionate nature, and my strong work ethic, I am confident in my ability to provide top-notch care. Caring for my loved ones has been a life-changing and incredibly fulfilling journey. I have learned the importance of approaching each individual with patience, understanding, and a unique perspective to meet their needs. With my autistic nephew, I have discovered the power of creative and engaging activities and effective communication strategies for promoting positive interactions and managing challenging behaviors. Through caring for my brother with Down syndrome, I have come to understand the significance of advocating for those who may struggle to speak for themselves and providing support as they navigate life.

Hello! My name is Yanelly, and I have several years of experience caring for children of all ages in both professional and personal settings.

Outside of work, I’ve provided nanny and babysitting care for family, friends, and families in my church community, supporting parents with dependable, nurturing, and attentive childcare. I love helping kids learn, play, and explore safely. As well as teaching them in both English and Spanish!

Paige $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Paige, and I’m a caring, dependable, and creative childcare provider with experience working with children of various ages in nannying, daycare, and activity-based settings. I genuinely love being around children and take pride in creating a safe, calm, and engaging environment where they feel seen, supported, and free to be themselves. I’m naturally nurturing, patient, and intuitive, which helps me connect with children easily and build trusting relationships. I enjoy planning age-appropriate activities such as arts and crafts, imaginative play, reading, outdoor time, and gentle learning moments that support emotional, social, and developmental growth. I’m also very attentive to routines, boundaries, and family preferences, and I always prioritize safety and communication. Families often describe me as warm, responsible, and emotionally present. I’m comfortable supporting daily routines like meals, naps, homework help, and bedtime, and I understand how important consistency and structure are for children to thrive. I’m also happy to help with light child-related tasks and maintain a positive, peaceful atmosphere in the home. Above all, I care deeply about children’s well-being and believe every child deserves patience, respect, and loving guidance. I would love the opportunity to support your family and create meaningful, joyful experiences with your little ones.

"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)."
