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 absolutely wonderful with our 6-month-old! She watched him for the past two days, and we felt so comfortable having her take care of him. She was attentive and really patient with him, and it was obvious that she genuinely cared about making sure he was happy and comfortable. She also did a great job keeping us updated throughout the day, which we really appreciated. We’re so glad we found Saron and would definitely have her watch him again. Highly recommend her!

I have been a nanny since I was 15 years old. I have watched all ages of children from infants to preteens. I have worked with children with special needs as well. I am also accustomed to working with more than three children. I have had jobs as a summer nanny, date night babysitter, and overnight weekend sitter. I am also a swim coach and teach swim lessons, so I have worked with children in many different settings. I also have been a certified lifeguard for the past seven years and I am accustomed to teaching children to swim and saving their lives in the water. I am allergic to mushrooms so if meal prep is involved please make sure they are not involved with it! **Note if you cancel within less than 24 hours I require 2 hours minimum cancelation fee. Thank you!**

Hannah was great! Kind, professional, great with my kids.

Hi! My name is Amber. I am a 37 year old Nanny available to provide occasional and Part time Childcare. Inside your home light housekeeping is always included. Along with Developmental play and meal preparation. I would love to discuss your children(s) needs and the goals you have for them. I am currently interviewing families for the upcoming fall, with availability beginning in September 2026. Here is a little bit about my background and short term goals. I grew up volunteering at a Home Child Care Center. I inevitably fell in love with the nurturing and more intimate structure that the setting offered. A safe, clean environment for children to explore and develop within. I respect and adore children. My cousins call me the " Baby Whisperer. " I desire to bring joy to your children, and laugh as much as possible with them! ✅ Pfizer Vaccinated as of 04/16/2021 ✔First Pfizer dose vaccination 03/26/2021 ✅Pfizer Booster as of 01/10/2022 ✔Flu shot 01/10/2022

We had the pleasure of having Amber care for our 1 year old son over the past two months and we couldn’t be more grateful for her help. From day one, she was incredibly reliable and proactive in making sure everything ran smoothly. What stood out the most, was her attentiveness and genuine care. She was fully engaged with our son, always making sure he was safe, entertained, and well taken care of. Whether it was playtime, mealtime, or simply keeping a calm and nurturing environment, Amber handled everything with thoughtfulness and professionalism. We always felt at ease knowing our son was in such capable hands and we will definitely reach out to Amber to work with her again. Anyone would be lucky to have her as part of their family’s support system. Highly recommend!!

"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)."
