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.

Marilyn 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child

My deepest foundation in caregiving was forged at home, where I grew up taking on the vital role of caring for my younger sister with Down Syndrome. This experience instilled in me an unparalleled level of patience, personalized attention, and advocacy. My commitment to the special needs community continued as I later served on the board for a local Special Olympics chapter, championing inclusion and well-being. From that beginning, I became the trusted caregiver for my community. I have been babysitting my whole life, recently stepping up for an extended, crucial four-day period (including overnights) for two young children under 10, ensuring their mother had a restorative break. My expertise truly shines in infant care: I spent four months as a dedicated live-in nanny. I volunteered for over three years, specializing in the care and development of babies from newborn to one year old. I approach every child with confidence, competence, and joy. I am happy to provide glowing references that attest to my reliability and the genuine positive impact I've had on families. I am eager to bring my lifetime of dedicated, motivational care to your family!

Marilyn is a wonderful babysitter. She watched both of our new babies when they were born and as toddlers. She is so so sweet with kids and an absolute natural especially with babies. She loves children and is so tender-hearted with them. She is a joy to be around and her sweet and bubbly personality definitely rubs off on the kids.

"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)."
