Hannah $18 per hour for 1 child

I am a big fan of board games & outside time for the kids, screens off! I've taught in church childcare 12+ kids ages 7-11 for a summer, and absolutely loved working with several children with cerebral palsey, down syndrome, and special needs within that class! I also taught a 2 year old class there the following summer. I want to make sure your kids have a fun time and feel loved and comfortable when you're away, while also keeping your household rules in place! I've been babysitting and dogsitting for over 5 families in my neighborhood since I was 13 years old, typically kids ages 4-13. I worked at a kids clothing store for a year and loved getting to see moms and kids smile there. I currently work for the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, so get me outside of the M-F 8-4:30 hours and I'm your girl!

Arabhis $15 per hour for 1 child

Hey Families! I’m a warm, reliable, and friendly caregiver who truly enjoys supporting families as they navigate their busy lives. I love creating a fun, safe, and structured environment where children ages 2–11 can thrive. I have experience working with toddlers during those important early developmental stages—supporting language growth, motor skills, and social development through play and engaging activities. I’ve also cared for older children who are gaining independence but still benefit from guidance, encouragement, and consistency. Whether it’s helping with homework, sticking to daily routines, or planning creative and active playtime, I make sure each day runs smoothly and positively. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to cook simple, healthy meals and help keep the home organized. My goal is to make your life easier by creating a dependable, nurturing presence your children feel comfortable with and you can fully trust. I’m patient, attentive, organized, and genuinely enjoy building meaningful connections with the families I work with. I would love to connect and see how I can help your household run happily and smoothly 😇

"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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

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)."
