Kenya $26 per hour for 1 child

Hello, My name is Kenya. I am a college graduate with my Bachelor’s degree in psychology with a minor in sociology. I have multiple years of experience in child care starting from when I was 14, which also includes caring for child on the spectrum and those with behavioral challenges. I have been working professionally with 2 families for the past 4+ years. I love everything about children and plan to pursue a career in social work. My responsibilities caring for children range from assisting with pick up and drop off to and from school. I’m also well equipped to handle arts and crafts projects as well as homework assistance. I also work as a household assistant cooking, cleaning, and running errands. I don’t have any allergies to pets so I can also assist with dog walking and caring for most animals.

Kateryna $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Kate, and I’m currently pursuing my graduate degree in Mental Health Counseling. My classes are in the mornings, so I’m available for afternoon and evening childcare starting around 3:00 PM. I’m a mom of two grown daughters, ages 18 and 19, so I’ve spent many years caring for children and know how much patience, consistency, and warmth they need at every age. I’m comfortable caring for babies, toddlers, school-age children, and teens. My background in Psychology and my current graduate training have also taught me a great deal about children’s emotions, communication, and development. I’m calm, attentive, and genuinely enjoy creating a safe and positive environment where children feel comfortable and understood. I’m happy to help with school pick-ups, homework, after-school routines, playtime, activities, and preparing healthy, kid-friendly meals and snacks. I’m also a published cookbook author, so cooking is something I truly enjoy! I have my own car , so I’m comfortable with school pick-ups and driving children to activities. Most importantly, I understand that caring for someone’s children is a position of trust. I’m respectful of each family’s routines, rules, privacy, and parenting style, and I always aim to be reliable, responsible, and easy to communicate with. I’d love to get to know your family and see how I can help make your afternoons and evenings a little easier!

"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)."
