Booked by 6 families in Durham, NC

I began working as a babysitter in my teen years and loved it so much that I continued babysitting throughout college and into my 20s. After getting married and becoming a socialworker, I became a mother to my own child, who is now 18 years old and getting ready to go off to college this month! I have the experience of being both a babysitter, as well as a parent. I am CPR trained and because I worked for many years in Early Intervention, I am very knowledgeable about child development. I’m also a playful, energetic person who will engage with your child(ren). I love being outside, and enjoy crafts.

Awesome and easy to work with!

Booked by 2 families in Durham, NC

Hi! My name is Netaya, and I’m currently a senior at George Washington University majoring in Exercise Science with a minor in STEM Teaching. I’m offering child care, pet care, senior care, and household services. I have a strong passion for working with kids and supporting their growth. I’ve been tutoring middle school students in math through Math Matters for the past two years, helping them build confidence and improve their skills. I also have hands-on experience caring for my younger sibling, so I understand the importance of patience, creativity, and keeping kids engaged in a safe and fun environment. In addition, I served as an AmeriCorps member with Jumpstart, an early childhood education program that focuses on preparing preschool children for kindergarten. In this role, I worked directly with young children to support language, literacy, and social-emotional development through structured activities, reading, and play-based learning. I also love animals and have three dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable with pet care, including feeding, walking, and giving lots of attention. Beyond that, I’m happy to help with senior care and household tasks such as light cleaning, organizing, and running errands. I’m reliable, energetic, and committed to creating a positive and supportive environment for the families I work with. I’d love the opportunity to support your family!

NETAYA was an exceptional babysitter for my two kids. She showed up early, followed bedtime routine to a T and even washed the snack dishes. I would hire her again!

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
