“Let all that you do be done with love.” — 1 Corinthians 16:14 Hi, my name is Sharon. I have many years of experience caring for both children and seniors, and I truly enjoy being someone families can count on. My childcare experience includes private in-home care as well as working in a daycare setting. I have helped with daily routines, meals, supervision, playtime, light household tasks, and creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for children. I also currently provide private elderly care, where I assist with meals, appointments, companionship, daily routines, and other day-to-day needs. In addition, I previously owned and operated my own cleaning business, where I worked directly with clients, managed household responsibilities, and made sure each home was cared for with attention to detail and consistency. I am organized, detail-oriented, warm, and reliable. I take pride in being helpful, noticing the little things, and making each day a little easier for the families I work with.

“Extremely detail oriented cleaning for an apartment move out. Communicative and reliable.”

Hello my name is Jazmine! I have been babysitting/ house sitting since I was 15 years old. I have experience working with children age newborn to middle school. I have a current 9-6 job in Mid town but am otherwise extremely flexible with evening/early morning hours and or weekends/holidays. In the past I have run school pick up, long weekends away, house sitting/light house keeping, soccer practice drop off, dinner prep or whatever a family might need. I am looking forward to hearing from you!

“Jazmine is genuine and caring. It’s been a pleasure watching her care for my baby girl whom she met at just 3 months. Jazmine’s main priority is the safety and well-being of the children she cares for. She is an honest person and trustworthy! Anyone would be lucky to have her care for their children! Thank you for all you have done these past few months! Our little one loves you!”

"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)."
