Paula $40 per hour for 1 child

Greetings, my name is Paula. I am a nurse by trade with 5 years of experience. Additionally I have 5 years of experience working with children which includes: babysitting, pediatric clinic, vision therapist (for children with misalignments in their eyes, traumatic brain injuries, and to improve hand-eye coordination), and soccer coach. My nursing career has been centered around post-operative patients so I may be useful with post-operative care for an array of surgeries. My personal qualities related to caregiving include being patient, attentive, and engaged. At baseline I am upbeat and would love to encourage outdoor, interactive play, sports and other activities to encourage movement and problem solving. I look forward to assisting your family with child care or elderly care. Thank you, P

Jessie $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Jessie, an artist and art teacher with a love for working with children and fostering their creativity. With years of experience teaching kids aged 4-7, I’m passionate about creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment where children can express themselves and develop their skills. I’m grounded, easygoing, and detail-oriented, always striving to provide the best care and support. I believe a clean and organized home helps create a peaceful atmosphere for kids to thrive in, which I will be able to help you in, and I’m happy to assist with everything from school pickups to preparing healthy meals or organizing creative activities. When I’m not teaching or spending time with kids, you can find me drawing, reading in parks, or hanging out with my pet tortoise, Sylvia. I’m looking for a recurring nanny position where I can help make your family’s life a little easier and more fun. If you think we’d be a good fit, I’d love to hear from you!

Kathryn $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Kathryn, and I've been immersed in caregiving since 2013, starting with babysitting my two nephews- each with very different personalities and needs. One is autistic and more sensitive and introverted, while the other is energetic and outgoing, which taught me how to adapt quickly and support a wide range of temperaments. I’ve led Sunday school classes for children ages 3–11+, often managing groups of up to 15, which helped me develop strong multitasking and leadership skills. Throughout high school and college, I continued babysitting for families with children ranging from infants to preteens. While attending college in Arizona, I joined Busy Bees Babysitting, where I became CPR and First Aid certified and worked with kids of all ages and family dynamics. In 2023, I became a nanny for three girls (3 months, 4, and 7 years old), and truly grew into a big-sister role. I’m dependable, adaptable, patient, and passionate about providing a safe, fun, and supportive environment for every child I care for!

Amelie $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’ve been babysitting since I was 12, and over the years I’ve cared for kids of all ages. Most of my jobs came to me through word of mouth and referrals from neighbors, family friends, and local families who trust me. I’ve also looked after pets (cats, dogs, snakes, and even fish!) and I’m comfortable juggling the moving parts of a busy household while keeping things calm and safe. I especially enjoy working with slightly older kids around 9 or 10, but I also do great with toddlers and younger children, making sure they’re engaged, cared for, and having fun. I completed a babysitting training course when I was younger where I earned my CPR certification and learned how to care for children safely and responsibly. I’m reliable, communicative, and open to overnights on occasion. Above all, I want families to feel like they can fully trust me, that their kids are not only safe but genuinely happy and comfortable 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)."
