Laylah $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi, My name is Laylah , and I’m a nursing student at CSI. I’m a dependable, nurturing caregiver offering child care, senior care, pet care, and household help. I’ve been babysitting since I was 14, with experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids—including siblings and neurodivergent children. I love creating fun, engaging activities like crafts, story time, and outdoor play, and I’m happy to help with homework, school pickups, and bedtime routines. As a nursing student, I’m trained in safety, health awareness, and CPR, and I’ve cared for elderly family members—helping with meals, appointments, mobility, and companionship. I’m comfortable with dogs and can cook, clean, run errands, and help keep things running smoothly at home.

Tatyana $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi, My name is Tatyana and I have over 10 years of babysitting experience. I also help care for my niece and nephew, so I understand the patience, creativity, and attention kids of all ages need. I’m comfortable caring for children of any age, from infants to teens. Along with childcare, I enjoy cooking and can prepare meals the kids will love, clean up, and keep things organized around the house. I truly love animals — I have cats myself — so I’m happy to work with families who have pets. Parents can count on me to be responsible, caring, and dependable while making sure your children feel safe, supported, and happy.

"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)."
