Olivia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Olivia, and I am a trained and certified elementary educator with a Bachelor’s degree in Primary Education. I am offering childcare and nanny services starting May 2026. I enjoy creating fun, engaging, and stimulating summer experiences for children! I have experience working with infants, toddlers, and elementary school-aged children through my work in the classroom, previous nanny & babysitting roles, and as a summer camp counsler! I am comfortable managing daily routines while also planning active, creative summer days. My experience includes outdoor play, arts and crafts, games, reading, learning through play, driving to and from activities, and homework/tutoring support. In addition to childcare, I am happy to help with light household tasks related to children, such as tidying play areas, preparing meals, and assisting with routines/activities. I am also happy to work with families with pets! I love working with children, and have been working with children and families since I was 14 years old! My goal is always to create a positive, enriching, and fun environment for families!

Sindri $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Sindri (Sin-dree), I am 23 and natural creative as well as a Certified Holistic Health Professional. I have a passion for wellness and a balanced approach to life. I love nature, animals and expressing my creativity in various forms - mostly in the kitchen these days. A little more about my background… I owned a meal prepping/personal chef service company called Vital Bowls. I have also worked multiple office management jobs, and sales related jobs. However - being I am expecting my first little one to enter the world soon, I am looking to get back to what I am best at. I am passionate about working with kids of all ages and adapting to ways that reflect the morals of the parents, and finding ways that fit the child’s individual needs. I have experience homeschooling, Montessori teaching, unschooling and traditional schooling. I love encouraging creativity and will always find ways to be away from the screens and hands on with the kids I am working with. I nannied full time for a family of 4 kids, ages 6, 4, 2, and 1 that were homeschooled. When working with them, I had also taken on household responsibilities most big household tasks like cleaning, laundry and cooking - while still always prioritizing nurturing the kids development through various in home and out of home activities. I am open to all types of opportunities and would love to chat and see if it’s a good mutual fit!

"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)."
