Adrianna $27 per hour for 1 child

My name is Adrianna, and I bring over 5 years of compassionate, dependable caregiving experience to children, and pets. With a patient, supportive nature and a deep passion for nurturing confidence and joy. I’ve prepared balanced meals and snacks, supported bedtime routines, managed school pickups and drop-offs, and assisted with personal hygiene, including diaper changes. I’ve attended school events and classes to support academic and extracurricular growth, and I plan enriching day-off activities that inspire learning and connection.

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."

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)."
