Camilia $19 per hour for 1 child

My name is Camilia :) I have a deep love for working with children and have been caring for them for many years. I began babysitting at the age of 13, and over time this passion has grown into meaningful, hands-on experience. I currently serve as a Sunday School teacher, where I teach and care for children from infancy to 5 years old, creating a safe, loving, and engaging environment where they can learn and grow. I am CPR and First Aid certified and have earned certificates in Basic Nanny Knowledge and NCA Basic Knowledge through the International Nanny Association. I am also actively studying for the INA Nanny Credential Exam, as I am committed to continuing my education and growing as a professional caregiver. While this will be my first professionally paid nanny position, I bring years of trusted childcare experience, a strong sense of responsibility, and a genuine eagerness to support families. I take pride in being dependable, patient, and attentive, and I care for every child as if they were my own. I would be honored to earn your trust and work alongside your family to provide reliable, loving care.

Abigail $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Abigail (or Abby), and I’m a 20-year-old college student with experience caring for children through family and friends. I offer babysitting for children ages 3 and up. I enjoy being active, creative, and doing crafts with kids while respecting household rules and parental expectations. While babysitting, I can help with cooking, tidying, homework, and bedtime routines as needed. I’m also interested in pet care. I’ve helped care for my grandmother’s chihuahua, and would love to gain more experience working with other pets. I have no allergies. My availability may vary, but I’m usually available on weekends and Friday evenings.

"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)."
