Akera $24 per hour for 1 child

I genuinely love working with children and take pride in creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for them to grow and explore. I am currently pursuing a degree in Early Childhood Education at Felician University, where I am learning best practices in child development, classroom management, and supporting children with special needs. I enjoy engaging kids in creative activities like reading, crafts, music, and outdoor play, while encouraging kindness, patience, and confidence. My goal is always to care for children as if they were my own, giving parents peace of mind knowing their child is happy, safe, and supported.

Sherlyne $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Sherlyne, and I’m a dependable, responsible caregiver with a background in psychology and law. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Juris Doctor, and I’m currently taking a planned break from my professional work, which allows me to dedicate focused time and energy to childcare. I bring a calm demeanor, strong judgment, and excellent communication skills to every family I work with. I offer babysitting and childcare services for date nights, evenings, weekends, and occasional or short-term care. I’m comfortable helping with homework, preparing simple meals, managing bedtime routines, and maintaining a safe, organized environment. I have experience working with school-age children and teens and approach caregiving with structure, patience, and attentiveness to each child’s individual needs. I enjoy engaging children in reading, educational games, creative activities, and calm, screen-limited play. I’m safety-conscious, detail-oriented, and value open communication with parents. My goal is to create a positive, supportive environment where children feel secure and parents feel confident leaving their children in my care.

"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."

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)."
