Cha $26 per hour for 1 child

Hello Parents and Future Families, My name is Cha, and I am a 28-year-old Hmong American woman. Growing up as the "second mom" to six sisters and one brother taught me the value of patience, responsibility, and caring for others from a young age. Being a big sister has always been one of my greatest joys, and I bring that same nurturing energy to every child I work with. I am passionate about supporting children as they learn, grow, and discover the world around them. Throughout my career, I have worked in caregiving and service-oriented roles that have strengthened my compassion, adaptability, and communication skills. I have experience caring for infants, toddlers, and kindergarten-aged children through my work at Miniapple International Montessori School. In addition, I worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant for three years before moving to Massachusetts. These experiences have taught me the importance of providing safe, attentive, and high-quality care while helping individuals feel supported, comfortable, and valued. As an UrbanSitter caregiver, my top priorities are safety, trust, and creating a positive environment where children can thrive. I believe strong relationships between caregivers, parents, and children are built through open communication, consistency, and genuine connection. A few fun facts about me: I play guitar, enjoy singing, love reading, and am passionate about helping children explore their emotions and stay curious about the world around them. I enjoy meeting new people and creating meaningful connections with the families I serve. Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me. I look forward to the opportunity to support your family and care for your children. Warmly, Cha Lor

Nathaly 2 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Nathaly! I’m a proud mom of two and bring years of hands-on parenting experience to the families I work with. Having homeschooled my children, I’m not only comfortable keeping kids engaged but also love to make learning fun through reading, crafts, and interactive play. šŸŽ What I Offer • Nurturing, patient care with a mother’s touch • Healthy meal prep (I love to cook!) • Light housekeeping, laundry, and organizational help • A structured but warm approach that makes children feel safe and cared for. Other parents often tell me that they feel at ease knowing I’ve been in their shoes. I understand what it means to balance busy schedules, trust someone with your little ones, and want peace of mind at home. I take pride in being dependable, calm under pressure, and someone your kids will genuinely enjoy spending time with.

ā€œGreat last-minute babysitter while I was visiting town! I have two kids and they absolutely loved having her around they even asked if they could see her again. Super grateful for her help!ā€

"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)."
