Dakai $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Dakai and I’m 22 years old. I’ve been babysitting professionally since I was 16, but caring for children has always been a big part of my life. I grew up surrounded by babies and young kids, so being around children feels very natural to me. My mom is also a doula and postpartum caregiver, so I’ve learned a lot from her over the years about infant care, patience, and supporting families during important stages of childhood. I have experience working with children ages 0–8, although most of my experience has been with infants and toddlers. I’m comfortable with diaper changes, bottle feeding, nap schedules, meal prep, playtime, bedtime routines, and helping create a safe and calm environment for little ones. I always try to make children feel comfortable, cared for, and engaged while also respecting the parents’ routines and preferences. What makes me a great caregiver is that I’m patient, dependable, nurturing, and genuinely enjoy being around children. Because I’ve spent so much time caring for kids both personally and professionally, I understand how important trust and communication are. I always aim to create a fun, safe, and loving environment where children feel comfortable and parents feel confident leaving their little ones in my care.

Hello, my name is ChiChi, I offer child care, senior care and household services. I love being a babysitter/ nanny and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, school-age children as well as twins since I was 14 years old. My responsibilities have included dropoffs/pickups, tutoring, coaching, playtime, games, crafts, feeding, naptime and more. As a parent, I understand the importance of creating a safe and engaging environment to meet developmental needs while prioritizing comfort and well-being. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean and run errands. I have been a caretaker for older family members and can drive to assist with appointments, cook and other tasks. I am allergic to cats though happy to work with families with small dogs. Families describe me as warm, reliable, and intuitive. I’m flexible with scheduling and open to discussing routines that work best for your household.

Chichi is very friendly and communicates very well. I look forward to working with her in the future

"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)."
