Hi, I’m Shyla. I am a college sophomore but I still have open availability. I have about 6 years of paid experience with babysitting/nannying, but I have taken care of children much longer. I was the primary babysitter for my sisters from newborn to 7 years old. I also have experience with other children as well. Including 2 girls ages 5-10 and boy-girl twins ages 6-8. I also have work for multiple school districts with substituting and before and after school child care. I love caring for children of all ages, and I can't wait to care for yours!

Hi all! I’m Natalya, and I have a long background in babysitting and just about 3 years of professional childcare experience! Most of that experience has been gained by caring for babies ages 6 weeks - 18 months in a daycare setting, and the rest as an assistant teacher in elementary school classrooms! I love working with young kids and building relationships with families! I’m very passionate about helping children grow into intentional, well-rounded individuals!

Danielle $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Danielle, and I am a 37-year-old childcare professional with over 15 years of experience working with children from infancy through pre-k and school age. I attended school for Early Childhood Education and have worked as an Infant and Toddler Teacher at Primrose School as well as with infants, toddlers, and pre-k children at The Goddard School. I also have extensive private nanny experience. I am currently completing a nanny position that has lasted more than 7 years. When I began with the family, the children were 3 years old and 18 months old. They are now 11 and 8 years old, and I have had the privilege of helping care for and support them through many important stages of their growth and development. As the children have become older and more independent, the family’s childcare needs have naturally changed, and they no longer require a full-time nanny beginning August 2026. Prior to this positionI worked as a personal nanny for a family with two boys for two years. When I began, the children were a newborn and a two-year-old. Throughout my time with the family, I provided attentive, dependable care and became an integral part of their daily lives. When the family decided to relocate, they invited me to move with them and continue as their nanny. However, I chose to remain in the area, and our employment ended due to their relocation. I am dependable, patient, and passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for children. I have completed CPR and First Aid training in the past. While my certifications have since expired, I am fully willing to renew them prior to or upon employment if preferred. I would love the opportunity to learn more about your family and discuss how I can support your childcare needs.

$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Mechanicsburg, OH

My name is Samantha, and I am a 21-year-old caregiver with a lifelong passion for caring for children. Growing up, my mother was a very well-known babysitter in our community, and from a young age, I learned the importance of patience, responsibility, and genuine care. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience helping care for children of all ages, from infants to school-aged kids, and have developed a deep understanding of what it takes to create a safe and loving environment. Being raised in a family known for trust and dependability, I take great pride in continuing that legacy. Families who know us have always appreciated our reliability, kindness, and the sense of comfort we bring to their homes. As a nanny, I strive to build strong, positive relationships with both children and parents — ensuring that every child feels secure, supported, and encouraged to learn and grow through play and structure. I am confident that my nurturing personality, strong sense of responsibility, and genuine love for childcare make me a great fit for your family. I would be honored to provide the same level of trust and care that my family has always been known for.

"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)."
