Hannah $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Hannah, and I’m a responsible, caring, and dependable caregiver who genuinely enjoys working with children. I have experience caring for kids of different ages and love creating a fun, safe, and positive environment where they can learn, play, and feel comfortable. I’m patient, organized, and always willing to help with whatever a family needs, whether that’s keeping children engaged with activities, preparing simple meals and snacks, helping with homework, maintaining routines, or assisting with light housekeeping related to the kids. I understand how important trust and communication are, and I always strive to be someone parents can rely on. I’m excited to build meaningful relationships with families and provide dependable, attentive care while making sure every child feels happy, safe, and supported.

Suban $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Suban. I’m a 21-year-old college student studying pediatric occupational therapy. Growing up as the eldest of four siblings and having over 50 cousins has fueled my passion for working with children. I’ve gained valuable experience at autism centers and daycares, where I support children in their development. I believe that working with children allows me to inspire them, teach essential life skills, and help them navigate challenges, ultimately shaping their futures. I’m excited to further my journey in this field and make a positive impact on young lives.

"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)."
