Kayla $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kayla, and I’m a caring, dependable, and patient caregiver who genuinely enjoys helping others and creating safe, positive environments for children and families. I have experience working with children through my background as a Child and Youth Program Assistant, where I helped supervise activities, support daily routines, encourage positive behavior, and create a welcoming space for kids of different ages and personalities. I’m someone who understands the importance of trust, communication, and consistency when caring for children. I always strive to make kids feel comfortable, supported, and heard while also making sure parents feel confident and at ease. I enjoy engaging children in fun, creative, and age-appropriate activities such as arts and crafts, games, outdoor play, reading, and helping with homework or routines when needed. Families would describe me as calm, attentive, organized, and reliable. I’m very patient, adaptable, and able to stay positive even during busy or stressful moments. I believe every child deserves kindness, encouragement, and a safe environment where they can feel happy and secure. In addition to childcare experience, I also have a background in administrative and support roles, which has helped me develop strong communication, responsibility, and time management skills. I take pride in being dependable, respectful, and someone families can trust. I’m currently continuing my professional growth and working toward building a stable and meaningful career centered around helping others. Whether you need assistance with childcare, supervision, routines, light household support, or simply someone who genuinely cares, I would love the opportunity to help support your family. I look forward to connecting with you!

Afua $23 per hour for 1 child

Hello!! My name is Afua! and I’ve been working with children for over five years. I absolutely love helping kids learn, grow, and have fun in a safe and caring environment. I currently work as a hospital technician, so I’m medically trained and confident handling any health or safety concerns that may come up. I have experience caring for children with autism as well as older adults with dementia and other cognitive challenges, so I’m patient, understanding, and attentive to individual needs. At my church, I serve as a toddler coordinator, where I plan and lead activities that keep little ones engaged and excited to learn, which means I’m great at organizing fun, creative ways to spend time with kids of all ages. I’m also very active and love staying on the move, whether that’s playing outside, doing crafts, or keeping up with energetic toddlers. My goal is to make sure your children feel happy, supported, and safe while having a great time. Your kids will be in caring and capable hands with me, and I’m always happy to answer any questions you have!

Kate $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.

"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)."
