Olivia $25 per hour for 1 child

I have tons of experience working with children, especially those in the five and under range. I have previously worked as a camp counselor for preschool aged children, in which I was the lead counselor responsible for fifteen four year old children. I also used to be a swim coach, teaching assistant, and still babysit and teach swim lessons today. All of these jobs have given me a multitude of different experiences with kids and have taught me how to best work with them depending on the situation.

Tzivia $35 per hour for 1 child

Being brought up in a large family, I have always felt a deep relevance to the world of childhood. Being around and working with many ages I discovered a deep connection to and strong interest in the earliest stages of human life. I find it a profound privilege to provide the gentle, attentive presence that babies need to feel safe and secure as they begin to explore their world. In my most recent role as a 1:4 infant caregiver, I had the honor of caring for a group of four babies starting when they were just seven weeks old. Being a consistent part of their first year allowed me to bond deeply with each child and support their unique developmental leaps with patience and compassion. I believe that every child deserves to be seen, heard, and nurtured with individualized care that respects their pace, personality, and at home lifestyle. I am now transitioning primarily to in-home care to offer families a more personal, dedicated experience. Whether you are looking for a long-term addition to your family's routine or simply need a reliable hand for one-time sitting, my goal is always the same: to provide a nurturing environment where your child feels completely loved and supported. I am excited to continue contributing to the beautiful early stages of life in the comfort of the child’s home, where they can grow, feel secure, and thrive.

"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)."
