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!

Jalani $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Jalani and I’m offering child care, pet care, and household support. I started working with kids in high school while helping at a daycare, and since then I’ve spent a lot of time caring for my goddaughter and friends’ children of different ages. I focus on making sure little ones feel safe, comfortable, fed, and genuinely looked after. I’m patient, attentive, and I love creating a smooth, happy environment for the kids I’m with. I also have experience with pet sitting, especially dogs and cats, and have stayed with pets for several days at a time. I’m reliable with routines, feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping pets calm and cared for while their owners are away. For house sitting, I’m organized, responsible, and great at keeping a home tidy and running smoothly. I’m someone families feel comfortable trusting with their space and their loved ones. I bring a warm, positive presence and communicate clearly so you always know everything is taken care of. Looking forward to working with you and your family! x

Jayleen $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi I’m Jayleen! I have over 8 years of experience working with infants and toddlers outside of the UrbanSitter app. I am currently working as an orthopedic medical assistant but have over a year experience of being a Behavioral Technician with kids ages 3-7 that are on the spectrum. Imagine a babysitter/nanny who’s not just about keeping an eye on the little ones, but also turning every moment into a fun adventure. That’s me! With a touch for sports, games, creative crafts, and outdoor activities. I’m here to ensure your kids have fun while under my care. I’m excited to start a journey of laughter, exploration, and endless fun! I am also comfortable completing other responsibilities like running errands, tutoring, and tidying up.

"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)."
