Kylie $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Kylie, and I started babysitting when I was 11. I’ve mainly been responsible for school age children, but I work with infants and toddlers at my church. I am also great with pets and can watch them too. I was a CNA and have knowledge of first aid and medication handling if that is needed. I can also cook and clean! I’m looking for the occasional job or full time and then being the recurring contact for families to be able to get to know the kiddos to ensure they have fun too!

Myshalaya $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name’s Shalaya, and I’m an 18-year-old mom with a beautiful daughter of my own. I’m fun, caring, and super patient — especially with energetic kids! I currently work as a PCA, so I have experience helping others and making sure people are safe, comfortable, and cared for. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your child with someone, so I treat every kid like my own — with love, attention, and fun. I enjoy doing activities, playing games, going outside (when the weather’s nice), and keeping kids busy in a good way. I’m available during the day while my daughter’s in school (9am-3pm) and some evenings if needed. I’d love to help another parent out and make sure your child is in safe, positive hands! I DONT DRIVE !

Clover $19 per hour for 1 child

I would love to be a nanny because I genuinely enjoy working with kids and creating a fun, engaging, and safe environment for them. I’ve always loved working with kids and have hands-on experience through AmeriCorps and dance training, where I learned how to keep children active and happy. I’m currently in college studying kinesiology with a focus on child and adolescent development, so I understand how important movement and play are for kids as they grow. I’m available on weeknights and weekends and would be so excited to create a safe and fun environment for your child while you take some well-deserved time for yourself!

"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)."
