Hi – My name is Debra, and I am originally from Barbados. I am a caring, dependable, and hardworking caregiver with years of hands-on experience supporting both children and seniors. I have experience caring for children of all ages, including my own grandchild, and I truly enjoy creating a safe, loving, and nurturing environment. I am patient, attentive, and love engaging kids in fun activities like reading, storytelling, and creative play.

I am comfortable assisting with daily activities, providing companionship, preparing meals, and helping with errands or appointments. I take pride in keeping a clean and organized home and enjoy cooking and baking.

Tywreana $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Tywreana (ty-re-ana), a patient and hands-on nanny who specializes in keeping kids calm, engaged, and genuinely happy whether that’s through creative play, routines, or one-on-one attention. I focus on creating a safe, calm, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and genuinely happy. I’m not just there to supervise, I build real connections with the kids I care for so they feel secure and enjoy their time with me. I have 5+ years of hands-on experience in both daycare and private nannying, caring for infants, toddlers, and school-age children. I love doing hands-on activities like painting, baking simple treats, and creating fun sensory play setups for younger kids. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your child, and I make it a priority to communicate clearly and create a safe, comfortable environment every day. Parents can expect someone who is: • Dependable and on time • Attentive and patient • Communicative and respectful of your household • Focused on your child’s safety and well-being My goal is always to make your life easier while making sure your child feels safe, cared for, and happy.

Yenis $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Yenis , and I bring over 25 years of experience as a loving and dependable nanny. I have cared for children from newborns to school-age, supporting families with everything from daily routines and medical appointments to cooking, baking, laundry, and school activities. Families describe me as trustworthy, punctual, protective, and nurturing—someone who always goes above and beyond to ensure children are safe, happy, and thriving. I am seeking a long-term, full-time position with a family who values reliability and care. I come with heartwarming references from families I have served for over a decade. I would love the opportunity to bring my experience, dedication, and love for children to your home.

Kristen $25 per hour for 1 child

My name is Kristen, and I would describe myself as caring, kind, and loving. I truly enjoy working with children and teens because of how genuine, creative, and full of potential they are. Growing up, I often cared for my nephews and nieces, and when my mom had my younger sister, I naturally stepped into a “second mom” role. Those experiences taught me patience, responsibility, and the ability to connect with children of different ages. I hold a college degree and I am CPR certified, which I believe provides an added sense of trust and security for families. Over the years, I have gained experience in babysitting, tutoring, and companion care, as well as pet sitting and light household support. I am also bilingual (English/Spanish), which I find to be a great advantage when helping children with language learning or schoolwork. In my free time, I enjoy coloring, going to the park, listening to music, trying new things, and going on little adventures. I am dependable, organized, and respectful, and one thing you should know about me is that I will care for your children as if they were my own. I am excited about the opportunity to become part of your family and to share not only my support and skills but also my warmth and dedication. I look forward to the chance to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for your children while learning from your culture and sharing mine.

"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)."
