Hello, My name is Elana, For the past 10 years, I've been privileged to nurture children's growth and offer families dependable childcare. My calm and patient nature allows me to connect easily with kids of all ages, from infants to teenagers. I enjoy sparking their imaginations with creative activities, board games, and even educational outings .I follow each family's lead when it comes to household rules and communication preferences. I am comfortable caring for one or more children at a time. I'm also happy to help with cooking, and light housekeeping. Speaking both English and Spanish, I can offer a diverse learning environment. I'm excited to bring my experience and passion to your family, creating a safe and fun space where your child can thrive.

Kaele $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kaele and I am 26 years old. I have my bachelors in Psychology and am planning on becoming a pediatric Occupational Therapist. I have always been good with kids and I proved that when I decided to babysit. Eventually I started working at an elementary school and worked as an aide for special needs kids. I worked with 3-6 year olds for 2 years and am looking to continue working with kids in general. I am reliable, friendly and most importantly respectful. Kids love to spend time with me because of my calm nature and I find ways to keep them happy, safe and entertained. I have experience with many different age groups due to finding babysitting jobs as part times after high school! I enjoyed every second. My duties included driving/picking up from school, take kids to activities, play, make sure they eat and do their homework. I also have helped out with homework and light housekeeping.

Flordina $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Flordina and I am currently a nursing student with childcare experience. I used to take care of children since I was 12 years old including newborns, which gave me a lot of hands-on experience with kids of different ages and made me love being around kids even more. I am patient, caring, and responsible, and I always do my best to make children feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I love spending time with kids and keeping them engaged with fun and creative activities like storytelling, drawing, games, talking with them, and keeping them entertained in a safe and positive environment. And also helping with homework, daily routines, cooking etc. I understand how important it is for parents to find someone they can trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. I offer childcare services and am also willing to help with light household tasks when needed. I love kids and I enjoy helping families and creating a warm, loving, and trustworthy environment for the kids in my care.

"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)."
