Andrea $30 per hour for 1 child

With nine years of professional childcare experience and my Newborn Care Specialist certification, I bring both hands-on experience and specialized newborn training to the families I support. Caring for children has been my passion since I began working part-time in a daycare during high school, and that passion has grown into a fulfilling career as a dedicated nanny and infant care professional. I have experience working with children from newborn through school-age in daycare, YMCA, and private in-home settings. However, supporting families during the newborn and infant stage is especially meaningful to me. As a certified Newborn Care Specialist, I am trained in newborn development, sleep conditioning, feeding support (breast and bottle), establishing healthy routines, soothing techniques, and maintaining a safe sleep environment. I understand how important those early weeks and months are, and I strive to provide calm, knowledgeable, and nurturing support to both baby and parents. In my nanny roles, I take on all childcare-related responsibilities including bottle prep, diapering, sleep scheduling, developmental play, tummy time, milestone tracking, baby laundry, sanitizing, and maintaining a structured yet loving environment. As children grow, I incorporate educational activities, creative play, outdoor exploration, and transportation to scheduled activities. My goal is always to encourage imagination and development while helping children confidently reach their milestones. Beyond experience and credentials, I value forming strong, respectful bonds with families. I am patient, attentive, reliable, and flexible available for travel, overnights, late stays, and date nights. I have my own vehicle, can provide a car seat if needed, and I am fully vaccinated and American Red Cross Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED certified. I understand that choosing someone to care for your child is one of the most important decisions a family can make. I am committed to listening carefully to your concerns, respecting your parenting style, and ensuring your child feels safe, supported, and loved every day in my care. I would be honored to support your family during this special season of growth and development.

Ashley $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi everyone, I’m Ashley! Caring for kids has always been a natural part of my life. As the oldest sibling, I’ve been the go-to person in my family for years, especially when parents are traveling and need someone dependable to hold down the fort. Beyond my family, I’ve babysat friends' kids, worked with children through my church’s praise dance group, and I regularly do kids' hair. These experiences have taught me a lot about being patient and making sure kids feel comfortable. I’m very big on safety and being aware of my surroundings, so my top priority is always making sure your home is secure and the kids are well-protected. I’m also a dog mom to a Pomchi! I'm great with small dogs and comfortable with other pets too, as long as they are friendly with new people. I truly understand the trust it takes to leave your children with someone new, so I’m more than happy to do a quick phone call or Zoom meeting so we can get to know each other first. It helps me feel more connected to the families I work with and ensures everyone feels safe and comfortable! I’m reliable, I show up on time, and I love keeping kids engaged and well-cared for. I’m also happy to help with hair or any light tasks you might need.

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.

Israel $24 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Israel, I've always had a passion for nurturing children's development, which led me to become a childcare provider. With 3 years of experience caring for children aged 0-17, I'm known for my patience, creativity, and friendly demeanor. I excel at communicating with parents, providing regular updates about their child's day and addressing any concerns. I'm very comfortable enforcing household rules and setting boundaries while ensuring the children feel safe and loved. When it comes to keeping the little ones entertained, I enjoy a variety of games, from outdoor sports and physical activities to board games and educational games that stimulate their minds. I'm comfortable caring for up to four children simultaneously and am happy to assist with light housekeeping and crafting activities. As a reliable caregiver, I'm dedicated to providing a safe and nurturing environment for your children. I have been with my current family for 3 years and I'm looking for a position where I can become like family and a trusted/safe individual to your child. I speak Spanish, too. And would prefer a family who have limited screen time and prioritize time outside and hands-on activities at home and outdoors

"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)."
