Emma $10 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Emma. I have 90 hours in infant and toddler. I’m also currently working on my 90 hours preschool certificate as well. I have CPR/first aid as well as basic health and safety. I also have ADA. I enjoy my time with the little ones. I can sing with them, play and read stories to them. Teach them things they don’t know. However I don’t have a car but I hope that doesn’t limit me because I would love to help.

Mariam 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Mariam, and I work in a Pediatric Emergency Room, where providing safe, compassionate, and attentive care to children is my top priority. Through my experience in pediatrics, I’ve worked with children of all ages and learned how to stay calm, patient, and observant in all situations, giving parents peace of mind that their child is in good hands. I enjoy engaging children in fun, creative, and age-appropriate activities such as arts and crafts, games, reading, and playtime. I also have a passion for cooking and am happy to help with meal prep or snacks as needed. Creating a safe, nurturing, and positive environment is always my goal. In addition to childcare, I offer pet care services. I’ve cared for friends’ dogs, primarily small breeds, and am comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, and giving them lots of attention. I treat every child and pet with care, patience, and respect.

“she’s so amazing & wonderful with my kids! has a very bubbly personality and always willing to help out when needed!”

Some of my responsibilities included creating fun learning activities or crafts, driving to sports or school, and tutoring. I’m also very happy to help with errands, cooking, cleaning, and pet care!

Faith $20 per hour for 1 child

I am a proud mom of 1 child and a cat. While my first-degree studies are based in Hospitality and Tourism Management, I have worked specifically as a Senior Teacher in two different licensed pre-schools since I became a mom. I have gained experience working with children from ages 0-10 years old during this time. Nonetheless, I have been babysitting children for more than 15 years. I enjoy working and being around children long before I became a parent. I am very passionate about teaching and having fun with children, while helping them reach their different developmental milestones. I do also have experience working with children on the spectrum. I do not have much experience working with Seniors; however, I enjoy spending time in their company, and I am a very fast learner. While I am available for babysitting gigs, I am looking to grow with a family that is open to having a lesson plan (to include indoors and outdoor activities) tailored towards their child's growth and development. I am looking forward to meeting you and your family!

"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)."
