Cat $20 per hour for 1 child

I am a mom to an amazing teen daughter as well as an Aunt to 11 kiddos ranging from 2-18 so I’ve gotten plenty of hands on experience with kids of all ages just within my local family. I started babysitting at a young age and worked in a kids center off and on through college. As an adult, I have worked in the service industry about 25 years giving me constant contact and hands-on interaction with people of all ages. I have also cared for pets all my life including working at a pet store for a while in college. I currently do some dog walking on the side around my other work schedule so I’m up for pet care as well.

Jordan $16 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name’s Jordan. I was born in Michigan but grew up here in Ohio, on the east side of Columbus. I have many younger siblings (five to be exact), all of which I had the pleasure of taking care & babysitting for most of my life. I also can handle pet care if need be. If you want the truth I’m just a college student finding his way.

"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."

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)."
