I have been taking care of kids and seniors. Pets , I took care of my paralyzed parents for 10 years, then I started caring for kids and elders after that, with different family backgrounds like, militaries, students with child that needs me to take care of their kids while they are at school, a family friends , an elderly with dementia, a companion. Also my own nieces and nephews, my cousin who is special kids and many more. I like helping people and I go to church every Sunday. You can message me so you can get to know me . Thank you

I was looking for sitter to help with a trip to great wolf lodge that i gave my boys for Christmas. As a single dad and 3 little boys under age of 8 thought it would be helpful to have some help. Plans completely changed and Mercury was very responsive and worked with me and did whatever she could to help as much as she could! She was very friendly to my boys and they attached and liked her very quickly! Really didn't have to explain much of what i needed she jumped right in and felt natural. She even checked in after her shift was over to make sure everything was OK. Will definitely use her again!!!

Hello! I’m Zoe, and I’ve been passionate about caring for children since I became an aunt at the age of 11. With over three years of professional experience as a babysitter, I’ve had the pleasure of working with kids of all ages, from toddlers to pre-teens. My approach to childcare is centered around safety, creativity, and fun. I love engaging children in outdoor activities, ensuring they have plenty of fresh air and exercise. I also enjoy cooking nutritious meals and helping with homework and school projects, fostering a supportive learning environment. In addition to my babysitting experience, I’ve worked in special education classrooms for a year with children aged 3 to 13. I currently work as a Registered Behavioral Technician, supporting children aged 3 to 5. I also volunteer at my church with toddlers between 18 months and 3 years old. Growing up on a farm has taught me valuable skills in responsibility, patience, and dedication as I’ve cared for animals such as horses, cows, pigs, dogs, cats, chickens, and goats. I believe in building strong, trusting relationships with both children and their families. My goal is to create a nurturing space where kids can thrive, learn, and play. I’m excited to bring my experience and enthusiasm to your family!

"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)."
