Linda $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Linda and I have been a nanny for 29 years and have helped many families raise their children, from infants to ten years old. I have four cats and one dog which are treated like our children. I love caring for infants and toddlers. I don’t mind doing some housework and the child’s laundry when taking a nap. I love going for walks and playing at the child’s level, playing dolls or playing with trucks and cars. I even help looking for bugs with one of the little boy I was caring for. I also like going to the pool and parks. I have cared for over 30 children over the years and at all ages. I just finished my last job in March. I have my CPR certification and a clean driving license. If you’re interested in me, please feel free to contact me at your earliest convenience. Thank you, Linda

Lourdes $17 per hour for 1 child

My name is Lourdes, and I am writing to express my interest in a position where I can provide childcare or household support. I am a dedicated and hardworking individual with a strong passion for caring for children and helping families. As a mother of five children of different ages, I have many years of personal experience nurturing, teaching, and supporting children through various stages of development. I have also volunteered at my church as a part-time teacher’s assistant, working with children between the ages of one and six. I am patient, responsible, and trustworthy, and I take pride in maintaining a clean, organized, and caring environment. In addition to childcare, I am happy to assist with household duties such as cleaning and cooking to help make family life easier. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my skills and experience can be a great fit for your family’s needs. Thank you very much for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Lourdes Andino

Aries $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Aries, and I’m an 18-year-old full-time college student currently working part-time at a movie theater. I’ve always had a passion for caring for children, and my most significant experience has been helping raise my little brother, who is now 11. I’m saving up for an apartment, and life is going great! During my senior year of high school, I completed an internship as an assistant kindergarten teacher at LRES, which was an incredibly valuable experience. In addition, I’ve taken several childcare-related courses throughout middle and high school, including one where we cared for an electronic baby. I also hold a ServSafe certificate and have been primarily responsible for my two cats for a few years now. I’m currently pursuing a career in social work because I genuinely enjoy helping and nurturing those in need. On a personal note, I’m excited to become an aunt soon—I even planned and organized my sister’s gender reveal! (She’s having a boy!) I’d love the opportunity to contribute and care for your children, as this is something I’m truly passionate about. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. Thank you for your consideration!

Katie 4 reviews
$20 per hour for 1 child

I have been babysitting since high school and have developed a strong, natural connection with children, allowing me to build lasting relationships with both the kids and families I support. I am a very creative person who loves planning fun, engaging activities, and I truly value creating meaningful memories that children will carry with them for a lifetime. Family is everything to me, and I bring that same sense of care and dedication into every home I work in. My experience has helped me become patient, reliable, and attentive to each child’s unique needs. I genuinely love caregiving because I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children can learn and grow. I am also a big animal lover—I have two cats at home and a lab in my hometown—so I am very comfortable caring for pets as well. I take pride in being dependable, compassionate, and someone families can truly trust.

“Katie has been an exceptional babysitter for our family, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She cared for our two children (ages 9 and 12) and consistently demonstrated maturity, reliability, and professionalism well beyond her years. Katie regularly picked the kids up from school, drove them safely to after-school activities, and kept everything running smoothly at home. She was punctual, responsible, and communicated clearly — which gave us complete peace of mind. What truly sets Katie apart is the energy and creativity she brings. She doesn’t just “supervise” — she engages. She came up with thoughtful arts and crafts projects, played board games, organized activities, and created a fun, structured environment. The kids genuinely looked forward to spending time with her, and that says everything. Beyond her competence, Katie brought warmth and positivity into our home. She built real rapport with our children while maintaining appropriate boundaries and expectations. We trusted her fully, and she consistently exceeded expectations. Any family would be fortunate to have Katie caring for their children.”

"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)."
