Mayara $28 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Mayara, and I have over four years of experience in childcare. I spent two years as an au pair, where I had the pleasure of caring for four children between the ages of 3 and 13. My experience spans a wide range of ages, from newborns to teenagers, and I am particularly experienced with twins. I am passionate about creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for children to grow and develop. Whether it's helping with homework, playing games, preparing meals, or just offering a helping hand, I always ensure that the children I care for feel loved and well-cared for. In addition to my childcare experience, I am bilingual in Portuguese and English, which allows me to connect with families from diverse backgrounds. I pride myself on being reliable, patient, and attentive to the individual needs of each child. If you're looking for someone who is experienced, compassionate, and dedicated to providing the best care for your children, I'd love to connect with you!

Chris $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello All, My name is Chris and my experience is vast when it comes to children and child's play. I've mastered the fine art of herding cats—also known as teaching at a Montessori school. There, I became a connoisseur of child-sized furniture and The Montessori techniques. Learning to listen to kids and teaching and meeting them where they are. When I'm not busy turning chaos into calm, you'll find me performing as a party performer at kids' parties, transforming into everything from a pirate to superheros, keeping the little ones entertained for hours. As a professional actor, as seen on Netflix and Amazon, I’m always ready to dive into make-believe with any willing child, whether it’s leading a daring quest for hidden treasure or hosting a royal tea party. Basically, I'm a professional fun-haver, dedicated to making kids' days a little brighter and a lot more magical!

Ulla $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Ulla! I'm 24, and offering childcare, pet care, and household help! I’m a patient, engaged caregiver who's worked with babies, to kids as old as 14. I have experience as a tutor and classical education (I can help with even Latin homework!). I love spending time at museums, parks, and engaging kids through art (drawing, crafts, etc) and being silly. Growing up with two younger siblings taught me my basics-- patience, responsibility, and how to manage routines and sibling dynamics. I have cared for kids individually, and in groups of up to four. I try not to use my phone during care unless necessary, and prioritize safety and routine! Driver's license, CPR and Heimlich.

"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)."
