Esiyah $27 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Esiyah , and I am a passionate, nurturing, and dependable caregiver with a well-rounded background in childcare, education, and family support services. I bring years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers, as well as providing companionship to seniors and loving care for family pets. Professionally, I’ve worked as both a Youth Program Coordinator and an Assistant Teacher at a Head Start program, where I worked closely with children ages 2-4 and 4-5. In these roles, I created engaging activities that supported their learning, social-emotional development, and creativity in a safe, loving environment. In addition to early childhood care, I also served as a Middle School Reading and Writing Teacher, where I had the privilege of helping students excel academically. I’m proud to share that 85% of my students passed their state testing under my instruction — a testament to my effective teaching strategies, excellent test-taking skills, and my ability to truly connect with students wherever they are in their educational journey. Beyond the classroom, I have helped raise and care for infants and or younger children within my own family, often providing overnight and daytime care while family members worked for severely months until the child reached an older age. During my college years, I started my own tutoring and babysitting service, offering support to single mothers and married couples in my community. The families I worked with consistently praised my commitment to their children’s growth, safety, and emotional well-being, as well as the genuine love I bring to every caregiving relationship. I am patient, creative, dependable, and passionate about creating nurturing, enriching environments where children feel valued and supported. I’m also very experienced in light household tasks, meal preparation, organizing schedules and routine, and pet care. I would be honored to bring my skills, heart, and experience into your home, supporting your family and helping your little ones thrive.

Makayla $21 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My experience includes two summer camp jobs, where I was responsible for supervising field trips, engaging the students in arts and crafts, recess supervision, and all around just providing a fun as well as safe environment for the children. I also have many years of babysitting experience, since I am an auntie of seven children! I’ve cared for babies as young as a week old. My role as an auntie has taught me how to be nurturing and patient. I also love seeing babies/children laugh and have a great time, so I’m all about (safe) fun!

James $12 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is James, and I’m a middle school math and science teacher at St. Paul with experience in early childhood education. I'm offering child care, senior care, and household services. As a father of two, I’m very hands-on with my kids—I help prepare their meals, put them to bed, read bedtime stories, and make sure we have fun together through games and activities. My love for kids extends beyond my own family, and I enjoy tutoring and playing games with children of all ages. I also have years of experience as the primary caretaker for my grandmother, so I’m comfortable providing senior care as well. I can cook, assist with errands, drive and help with any other tasks needed. Whether it's helping with schoolwork or simply keeping your home running smoothly, I'm here to help! Let me know how I can assist you!

"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)."
