myae $16 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Myae, and I’m 20 years old. I’m currently studying pediatric psychology online at the University of Cincinnati with the long-term goal of becoming a pediatric psychiatrist. While I’m still in the early stages of my career, I’ve always had a passion for helping others, especially children, and I believe everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and supported in their emotional and mental well-being. I’m here because I love connecting with people and making a difference in their lives. Whether it’s providing companionship, offering emotional support, or helping with daily tasks, I am excited to be a caregiver and bring my positive energy into your life. I understand how important it is to create a safe, nurturing, and fun environment, and I strive to ensure that the people I care for feel valued and supported in every way. My background in psychology has taught me the importance of emotional health and how to approach people with patience, kindness, and respect. I’m especially passionate about working with children because I know how important early support can be for their future. I want to help young ones build confidence, resilience, and a positive mindset, while also making sure they feel heard and cared for. Outside of my studies, I have a few hobbies that really keep me energized and excited about life! I absolutely love shopping—it’s my go-to way of relaxing and finding new styles. Whether it's fashion, home decor, or cool gadgets, I’m always on the lookout for the next fun find. Traveling is another big passion of mine—I love exploring new places, experiencing different cultures, and learning from the world around me. There’s something special about discovering a new city or country and being open to new experiences. I believe that bringing joy and a sense of adventure into caregiving is just as important as providing support and assistance. Whether I’m helping with a task or sharing a laugh, I want to make each day a little brighter. I’m responsible, reliable, and always up for a good time. Let’s make sure that while you're receiving care, you’re also enjoying life to the fullest! Thank you for considering me as your caregiver. I look forward to making a positive, fun, and memorable impact in your life!

Laklyn $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi - I am Laklyn! I have been in the Air Force for the last 7 years. I am transitioning back to civilian life and moving back home — now looking to help families full-time! I’m super responsible, friendly, great at keeping things clean and organized. I have my own car, can run errands, drive to and from school/activities. I’m great with kids of all ages and personalities. I always try to keep things fun with age-appropriate games and activities and love being outdoors! I’m also renewing my CPR and First Aid certifications (I was certified in the military), just to make sure I’m fully up to date. If you’re looking for someone reliable and easy to work with, I’d love to chat and see how I can help out!

"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)."
