Overall, my extensive experience, combined with my nurturing personality traits and talents, make me a trusted and reliable caregiver who is committed to providing the highest quality of care for children and their families.

Zina was able to come on very short notice when I really needed some help, which was very appreciated. She was great, very proactive and able to relate to our kids very quickly. She came up with some great games for our fairly active boys and they had a good time with her. I would recommend her to anyone and we will definitely hire her again.

Hi - My name is Amy, I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I love working with Children and Seniors. I have had experience since I was 14 years old. I would babysit the children in my area and was highly recommended at a young age. I offer help with school work, activities, errands, pick ups, drop offs to school or other activities. I also am a great caregiver for seniors, I have experience in bathing, assisting in walking and a great companionship partner. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, laundry and run errands.

I wish i did not move so I could still have Amy as help with my children. She was a light that lit up my children's face as soon as they seen her. She cared for my 3 month old daughter and also babysat my 6 year old son while I worked night shifts. She was always reliable and on time. She was always willing to help even on short notice. Anyone that’s lucky enough to hire Amy is getting an angel.

"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)."
