Mariia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Mariia. I have 3 years of babysitting experience, and although this is my first time using this app, I have extensive hands-on experience caring for children and providing dependable, loving care. I am a caring, responsible, and dependable person who truly enjoys spending time with children and dogs. I love creating a safe, fun, and positive environment where kids can learn, play, and feel comfortable. I also have lifelong experience caring for dogs, as my family has always had dogs, so I am very comfortable with pet care, walks, feeding, and daily routines. I am a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and certified in Basic Life Support (BLS), which gives me strong knowledge of safety, emergency response, and compassionate care. I can help with childcare, dog care, light housekeeping, meal preparation, homework, and transportation to and from school or activities. I have a valid driver’s license and a reliable car, so I can also help with pick-ups and drop-offs. Families can rely on me to be trustworthy, patient, and attentive. My goal is to make sure children and pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while giving parents peace of mind.

Tobi $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Tobi and I’m a law school graduate from UST! I’m currently preparing to take the bar exam as well. I have several years of hands-on caregiving experience with children, seniors, pets, and household support, and I take pride in being reliable, patient, and attentive. I have extensive experience working with children of all ages, from as young as 5 months old through teenagers. Over the years, I’ve babysat family members’ children and currently serve as a Sunday school teacher at my church, where I work regularly with infants, toddlers, school-aged children, and teens. I enjoy engaging kids in age-appropriate activities such as reading, arts and crafts, educational games, supervised play, and helping with routines like meals, naps, and homework. In addition to child care, I’ve worked as a care aide in a group home supporting elderly individuals as well as young adults and teenagers. Through this role, I gained experience assisting with daily activities, meal preparation, light housekeeping, errands, and companionship. I value providing care that is respectful, compassionate, and centered on dignity and comfort. I also have pet care experience as a dog owner and currently care for my own Pomeranian. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, basic grooming, and caring for dogs of different sizes and breeds, including those that shed. Overall, I’m dependable, caring, and detail-oriented, and I strive to create a safe, supportive, and positive environment for every family I work with. I look forward to helping make your day-to-day life a little easier.

"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)."
