Kamiah $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I am a former executive currently completing a dual masters program at NYU. I’ve had experience with childcare/babysitting since I was 14 yrs old. Additionally, I’ve been the troop leader for a Girl Scout troop with girls ages 4-13 for 6 years and a cheerleading coach of 4-6 year olds for 2 years. I still provide childcare every other weekend for family and friends. Most recently, I’ve been caring for a 7month old since he was 2 months and a 3 year old since he was 3 month. I also have a 17 years old daughter with ASD and have extensive experience supporting the needs of children who have disabilities. I am passionate about children and love helping them grow.

Camila $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Camila, and I am a caring, patient, and responsible babysitter with experience working with children both professionally and as a mother. I have worked with kids in educational and creative settings, teaching drawing and painting classes for about five years. Through this experience, I developed strong skills in engaging children through fun, age-appropriate activities while creating a safe, positive, and nurturing environment. In addition to my professional experience, I am the mother of a wonderful 5-year-old boy. Raising my son has given me valuable hands-on experience with children’s daily routines, emotional needs, learning, playtime, and overall development. I enjoy spending time with children, encouraging their creativity, supporting their learning, and helping them feel comfortable, happy, and confident. I am reliable, attentive, and committed to providing excellent care while respecting each family’s routines and parenting preferences. I am fluent in Portuguese and Spanish and have a basic level of English. I am continuously improving my English skills and can communicate effectively with children and families.

Jayla $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I’m a high-energy, dependable caregiver with nearly a decade of experience. I’ve been babysitting since I was 15, spent a year as a professional daycare teacher, and grew up as the eldest of five girls so I’m no stranger to a busy household! While I currently work in insurance and study accounting full-time, I love returning to my roots in childcare. I’m naturally enthusiastic and friendly, and while I can be a bit reserved with adults, I’m fully engaged and "all-in" when it comes to playing and connecting with kids. My philosophy is simple: I treat every child with the same care, patience, and protection I’d want for my own sisters. Their safety and comfort are my top priorities, and I’m always happy to adapt to your family's specific routines to make sure everyone feels at ease.

"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)."
