Azariah $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi ! My name is Azariah, and I’m starting college this August to study English journalism with a minor in psychology. I hope to become a teacher one day and have always loved working with kids! I’ve been babysitting since my little sister was born and have cared for children ages 3–13, including those with special needs. One of my favorite experiences was bonding with a sweet 6-year-old with autism we gave each other the nickname “Honey Bee,” which still makes me smile. I love combining fun with learning, whether we’re playing, reading, or doing crafts. I believe every child deserves kindness, creativity, and attention. Kids tend to connect with me easily one even said, “You’re my best friend, even though you’re big!” I’d love to help your family and bring joy, safety, and a little learning to your child’s day.

Zeruah $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Zeruah - a childcare provider with years of experience with children of all ages. Before nannying, I worked at a childcare center for over a year caring for children ages 8 weeks to 5 years. I loved helping each child feel safe, seen and supported through learning, play and daily routines. I recently worked as a nanny for 4 months caring for children in a home setting. I continued babysitting for the family through occasional one-time jobs and have been working with them full-time again throughout August. As one of the children prepares to start Pre-K in September, my time with this family is coming to an end, and I'm looking forward to joining another family who would welcome me into their home. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, comfortable with pets, and happy to help with light housekeeping, meal prep and bedtime routines. Outside of work, I love yoga, painting, sewing and fashion design. I also follow a vegan lifestyle focused on fruits and veggies!

"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)."
