Brianna 1 review
Plymouth
$18 per hour for 1 child

I’m a 24 year old, college educated caregiver with a BFA in Graphic Design and a strong background in childcare. I have experience nannying for a 4 and 7 year old, and I’ve been a consistent caregiver for my 3 year old niece since she was 4 months old. I have a big imagination and love encouraging imaginative play, outdoor exploration, and creative activities. I bring a warm, patient, and playful approach to childcare and enjoy supporting kids as they grow, learn, and express themselves.

I’m so happy to recommend my Sister, Brianna Pothen, as an absolutely wonderful babysitter for our family. I have a very energetic three-year-old daughter and a newborn son, so finding someone patient, engaged, and truly present with the kids has been a game-changer—and that’s exactly what Brianna is. She is incredible at keeping my toddler happily entertained without ever relying on screens. We both share the same philosophy about limiting screen time, and I love that she never turns on the TV or hands over a tablet “just to keep him quiet.” The only exception is the rare occasion when she pops on something calming for ten minutes while she’s preparing dinner for the kids—and even then she feels guilty about it! Otherwise, it’s arts and crafts, dress-up, silly made-up games, “restaurant” with play food, blanket forts, dance parties, you name it. My daughter literally jumps up and down screaming her name when she hears she’s coming over. She talks about “the funny games we made up with “Auntie Boo” for days afterward. With the baby she’s equally gentle and attentive—rocking, singing, soothing, changing diapers without ever being asked. She somehow manages both ages beautifully, giving my newborn the calm he needs while still making my three-year-old feel like the most special big sister on earth. Brianna is responsible, punctual, communicative, and genuinely loves what she does. We trust her completely and feel so lucky to have found someone who parents the way we do—lots of creativity, laughter, and real connection, almost no screens. Any family would be fortunate to have her!

Faith Plymouth
$18 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I have over 10 years of childcare experience for children ages 0-11. For previous families I have served as a summertime nanny, a driver to and from various camps, an after school pick up person, and a weekend daytime sitter. I tend to be more outgoing with a love for singing and dancing as well as reading books, baking, and playing guitar. In addition to childcare I've also been a pet sitter for both dogs and cats, with experience with up to seven animals in a home at one time. I am a recent graduate of West Virginia University with a degree in acting (perfect for storytimes!). I'm fully vaccinated and a strong swimmer.

Carlie Plymouth
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I'm Carlie! I was a nanny for a family with two children, ages 1 and 7 for just over 1 year. I then nannied for another family with two children ages 4 and 6 for just over 1 year. I am not nannying anymore because I moved to graduated from college and started working full time. I have paid experience with children from newborn to age 14. I am a very outgoing, reliable, and organized person. I have my own transportation, and I am also a non-smoker. I am also an animal lover, so very comfortable with pets! I have a 10-month-old golden retriever/ German shepherd mix. I am available for pet sitting, baby sitting occasionally, and housekeeping! I have experience housekeeping for 3 different households, one being an airbnb. (Washing bedding, laundry, cleaning bathrooms, floors, dusting, yard work, including watering flowers and mowing lawns). I also work from home, so in the case that you need baby/pet sitting during the day I could most likely arrange that. :)

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
