Samantha 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Ostrander, 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."

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)."
