Seriah $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Seriah! I’m a caring and dependable babysitter with experience working at an early learning childcare center, where I care for infants and young children every day. I love helping little ones learn and grow through fun, age-appropriate activities like exploring colors, shapes, numbers, and letter signs. I focus on creating a safe, loving, and positive environment where children feel comfortable and happy. I’m very patient, attentive, and enjoy building strong connections with both children and families. Whether it’s playtime, learning time, or quiet time, I always make sure each child feels supported and cared for. I would love the opportunity to provide your family with trustworthy, nurturing care while helping your child learn and have fun!

Briyana $15 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name’s Bri. I currently work at Sweathouz in Pike and Rose and am 19 years old. I’ve been with children especially younger than me all my life. I have two sisters, and 5+ younger cousins I’ve assisted caring for, and have cared for myself. I have worked as a counselor in training for a summer camp from 9 am to 6 pm, and also have worked as a aftercare teacher for St. Elizabeth’s School primarily with elementary and preschool kids. I overall have 6 years of caring for children. I’ve grown up to be a responsible adult. I have tons of experience with cleaning, whether that be light or deep, some household chores like laundry, and tutoring in most subjects. I also enjoy arts and crafts, outdoor activities, and immersive storytelling to keep kids entertained.

Hi – My name is Caroline and I’m currently an English major at the University of South Carolina. I offer child care, pet care, and household services. I’ve been a caregiver since 2020, working with children of all ages to create a fun, safe, and structured environment. I help with meals, homework, bedtime routines, and enjoy reading and playing games with the kids I care for. I'm also experienced in pet care, including feeding, walking, and playtime. I’ve worked in customer service roles, like bussing at a country club, which strengthened my communication and multitasking skills.

"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."

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)."
