Trinity $15 per hour for 1 child

I started babysitting for my family when I was around 11, by taking care of my younger brothers. I also grew up on a farm taking care of our horses, chickens, cats, dogs and calves! I really enjoy taking care of kids, and I hope that I can help you! I currently am in college as a nursing student, and I am hoping to either be a Pediatric or NICU nurse!

Theresa $25 per hour for 1 child

I have over 13 years of caregiving experience, which began when my son was diagnosed with autism. This personal journey shaped my empathy, patience, and adaptability, making me an exceptional caregiver. I am a certified Personal Care Assistant (PCA) with hands-on experience in childcare, particularly for children with special needs, ensuring their emotional, educational, and physical well-being. In addition to working with children, I am open to caregiving roles for seniors, offering companionship, assistance with daily activities, and medical care management. My diverse skill set also includes household services, such as meal preparation, cleaning, and maintaining a safe, organized living environment. I thrive on forming meaningful connections, am highly observant, and excel in creating a nurturing and structured atmosphere for those under my care, whether children, seniors, or even pets.

$13 per hour for 1 child

I am a dependable, patient, and caring caregiver with many years of hands-on experience caring for children and supporting families. I raised 10 children of my own, which has given me extensive experience with children of different ages, personalities, routines, and needs. I also worked as a kitchen staff member in a school environment, where I enjoyed being around children and understood the importance of safety, cleanliness, structure, and creating a welcoming environment. In addition, I have 16 years of home care experience. Through this work, I developed strong skills in patience, responsibility, communication, maintaining routines, preparing meals, keeping a clean and safe environment, and caring for individuals with different needs. I understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable and confident about the person caring for their children. I take that responsibility seriously. I am attentive, reliable, nurturing, and respectful of each family's household rules and parenting preferences. I am comfortable helping with meals and snacks, activities, homework, bedtime routines, light housekeeping related to the children, and maintaining a safe and organized environment. I would love the opportunity to provide families with dependable childcare and give parents peace of mind knowing their children are being cared for by someone mature, experienced, and compassionate.

“Five stars! I had a wonderful experience having her babysit for my family. She was caring, patient, and attentive, and I felt comfortable knowing my children were in good hands. Finding someone you can trust with your children means so much, and I truly appreciated the care she provided. I would gladly hire her again and recommend her to other families looking for a great babysitter!”

"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)."
