Lakaiya $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Lakaiya, and I truly enjoy being someone families can depend on. I have experience caring for children and supporting seniors with their everyday needs, and what I love most about caregiving is being able to make someone’s day a little easier while creating a safe, comfortable, and positive environment. When it comes to children, I especially enjoy watching them grow, develop their personalities, learn new things, and reach important milestones. I love engaging with children through play, conversation, age-appropriate activities, reading, homework help, and everyday routines. I believe children thrive when they feel safe, heard, encouraged, and cared for, and I always do my best to provide that kind of environment. I also have a passion for supporting seniors. Whether it’s helping with everyday routines, errands, organization, companionship, or other non-medical needs, I enjoy being a dependable source of support while helping seniors maintain their comfort, dignity, and independence. I’m naturally nurturing, patient, responsible, organized, and attentive to the little things. I understand that inviting someone into your home to care for your loved ones requires a great deal of trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. Communication is also very important to me—I want parents and families to feel informed, comfortable, and confident while they’re away.

Lucy $25 per hour for 1 child

family advocate with more than five years of experience caring for children in private homes, licensed early-childhood programs, and youth programs. I’ve worked with infants, toddlers, preschoolers, elementary-age children, and families with a wide range of routines and needs. My childcare background includes feeding, diapering, naps, bedtime routines, school pickup and transitions, imaginative and sensory play, reading, crafts, outdoor activities, meal preparation, and keeping children’s spaces tidy. I’ve also worked as an early-childhood assistant teacher and summer lead teacher, and I’ve coached Girls on the Run. Families can expect me to be warm, dependable, communicative, and attentive to the individual child. My background in social work, family support, and trauma-informed care has also taught me how important it is to stay calm, respect family routines, and meet children where they are. I’m comfortable supporting neurodivergent children and adapting activities or communication styles when needed. I enjoy creating evenings that feel fun and relaxed while still keeping routines consistent, whether that means playing outside, doing crafts, reading together, baking, or winding down for bedtime. I’m also comfortable with pets and happy to help with light household tasks related to the children, such as meals, dishes, toys, and cleanup. I’m currently completing a child-advocacy policy fellowship in Washington, DC, and primarily seek evening and weekend childcare. I genuinely enjoy getting to know families and becoming someone both parents and children can feel comfortable and confident with.

"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."

"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)."
