Hello, My name is Youma, I am 38 years old and I’m a mother of 6. I have 5 daughters and 1 son. Ages 18 , 16 , 14 , 14 , 12 , and 1. I have over 18 years of experience watching and raising children of my own.

Mama Rokia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Rokia! I am 19 years old and an upcoming junior in college studying Public Health to become a midwife! My previous babysitting roles solidified my desire to positively impact children's lives and to support families in any way I can. I have 5 years of experience caring for children, I offer a patient, creative, and friendly approach to childcare. I care for a wide range of age groups starting from infants to school-age. I am comfortable caring for up to three children and enjoy engaging them with outdoor sports, board games, and educational activities. I am comfortable doing overnights, occasional babysitting for date nights, lending extra hand if you need to get work done, or if you just need some solo time! Feel free to message with any inquiries!

Maria $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Olga, and I am a proud mother of three wonderful children—two boys and a daughter. Being a mom has given me valuable hands-on experience caring for children, understanding their needs, and creating a safe, loving, and nurturing environment where they can grow and thrive. I truly enjoy spending time with children, taking them to the park, engaging them in fun and educational activities, reading stories, and helping them develop their listening skills, creativity, confidence, and social skills. I believe that every child deserves patience, kindness, attention, and quality time. My goal is to make every child feel safe, happy, loved, and comfortable while providing parents with peace of mind. I enjoy encouraging children to explore, learn new things, play, and develop at their own pace in a positive and supportive environment. As a caring, responsible, and patient mother, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your little ones. I would love the opportunity to care for your children as if they were my own, making sure they feel supported, engaged, and well cared for every day.

Amani $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Amani, and I’m a caring, patient, and dependable caregiver with several years of experience working with children and families. I have experience caring for children ages 3–17, including children with autism, as well as caring for elderly individuals. I understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable and confident when leaving their children in someone else’s care. I always strive to create a safe, positive, and comfortable environment while making sure children feel heard, supported, and cared for. I enjoy doing age-appropriate activities with children such as arts and crafts, reading, playing games, going for walks, and simply spending quality time together. I’m also comfortable helping with routines, meals, keeping children entertained, and making sure they are safe and comfortable throughout the day. I currently work part-time with a family that I have been with for about two years, and I’m happy to provide a reference from them. I’m reliable, flexible, patient, and genuinely enjoy working with children. Outside of caregiving, I enjoy cooking, listening to music, going for walks, attending Bible studies, and trying new activities. I look forward to getting to know your family and providing your child with the same patience, care, and attention I would want for my own family.

"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)."
