Hello, My name is Saron, I’ve enjoyed babysitting kids all ages since I was 15!i have been a child caregiver for over 6 years i worked with all ages from infants up to teenager.I love planning fun and educational activities for children according to their age.I’m very active and fully engaged with the children.I currently work as an assistant teacher in a daycare and would love to get to know you and your beautiful children.

Saron was a huge help in taking care of our 3 month old the week before a move. She expertly cared for him for the full 40 hour work week while we packed our apartment and then watched him for half day on Saturday during the actual move. We could not have done this without her. She was highly attentive and energetic in keeping our baby fed, cleaned, entertained, and loved. We will definitely be booking her again!

Hello! My name is Chloé, and I am a college engineering student with several years of professional childcare, tutoring, and after-school teaching experience. My experience ranges from infants through school-age children and includes recurring infant care, after-school care, transportation, homework support, meals, and bedtime routines. As a STEM-focused college student, I’m also comfortable providing homework support. From March 2024 to October 2025, I worked as an after-school teacher at Lafayette Elementary with students from pre-K through fifth grade. I also provided French and math support as an after-school tutor at Maryvale Elementary. My private-family background includes recurring and occasional care for infants through school-age children, as well as full-time infant care, school pickups, transportation, multi-child care, overnight and extended care, and supporting children with ADHD and autism. Most recently, I provided temporary full-time care for a young infant, including bottles and burping, diaper changes, soothing and naps, tummy time, teething support, and age-appropriate play. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and always prioritize safety, structure, and positive engagement. I’m calm, communicative, attentive, and comfortable following established routines. I’m also comfortable with child-related meal preparation, dishes, laundry, and tidying, and I have previous live-in childcare experience. I’m available for recurring care starting September 7. I regularly update my availability and am otherwise open to weekday morning, daytime, and after-school care, as well as occasional evening, weekend, overnight, and extended care. I do have occasional pre-scheduled Monday/Tuesday afternoon commitments and can provide those dates in advance. I look forward to supporting your family!

Very attentive & keeps in contact throughout the job.

I would like to take care of your babies! I started working with kids since the age of 14. Around that age I tutored and took care of children around the age of 4, 6 and 7. I've also taken care of my 4 nephews during their infant, toddler and preschool years. I'd describe my personality as responsible, fun and wise! I like working with kids because they keep you young at heart and we can always learn from them on how to be happy with the little things!

"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)."
