Maura $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Maura, and I’m a 27 year old childcare professional with over 12 years of experience. As the oldest of five, I naturally stepped into a caretaker role early on, beginning to babysit at 15. From there, my passion for working with children grew! I spent my high school years helping neighbors and family friends, continued to nanny throughout college, and supported students with homework and after school routines. After graduating in 2020, I ran a learning pod for four young children, where I helped guide their virtual schooling and created a structured, supportive environment that felt as close to a classroom as possible. I’m comfortable caring for children of all ages, from infants through school-age, and I have experience balancing the needs of multiple children at once. I’m also happy to help with household tasks and am very comfortable with pets. I’ve cared for families with dogs and cats and love including them in the daily routine. I aim to bring warmth, patience, structure, and fun into every home I partner with. I’d love to get to know your family and support your children as they grow!

Tzivia $35 per hour for 1 child

Being brought up in a large family, I have always felt a deep relevance to the world of childhood. Being around and working with many ages I discovered a deep connection to and strong interest in the earliest stages of human life. I find it a profound privilege to provide the gentle, attentive presence that babies need to feel safe and secure as they begin to explore their world. In my most recent role as a 1:4 infant caregiver, I had the honor of caring for a group of four babies starting when they were just seven weeks old. Being a consistent part of their first year allowed me to bond deeply with each child and support their unique developmental leaps with patience and compassion. I believe that every child deserves to be seen, heard, and nurtured with individualized care that respects their pace, personality, and at home lifestyle. I am now transitioning primarily to in-home care to offer families a more personal, dedicated experience. Whether you are looking for a long-term addition to your family's routine or simply need a reliable hand for one-time sitting, my goal is always the same: to provide a nurturing environment where your child feels completely loved and supported. I am excited to continue contributing to the beautiful early stages of life in the comfort of the child’s home, where they can grow, feel secure, and thrive.

"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)."
