Astou Providence
$23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Astou, and I absolutely adore caring for children. For the past few years I have had the pleasure working with kids age ranging from infant to adolescents, at daycares and preschools in the Massachusetts/Providence area. I enjoy playing outside, arts and crafts, reading and creative play. I believe children hold on to memories that help shape who they want to become, and I hope to help make unforgettable experiences and memories with them!

Shanyce Cranston
$18 per hour for 1 child

My name is Shanyce, I’m currently a student living in Cranston, RI currently working part-time as a babysitter. I was born in the USA but i lived in Spain since I was 2 years old traveling between the two countries. I am therefore bilingual with a multicultural background and have travelled in many different countries which has allowed me to build great interpersonal skills while having an open mindset about the world, different cultures and personalities. I come from a large family and I’ve been always been surrounded by children including my 2 year old sister who I have taken care of since she was born. I’m very passionate about helping other people and thanks to my caregiver nature, creativity and experience as well as my kind personality children are very comfortable around me. I’m also very responsible and willing to help with their homework and extracurricular activities.

Lauren Providence
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Lauren and I am an experienced, dedicated, fun-loving and creative caregiver with access to my own car! Since I was 14, I've worked with children of all ages from newborns to young teens as a sitter, mother's helper, tutor, and mentor. In my off hours I am an artist and am always happy to coordinate craft time, a mini drawing lesson, or my personal favorite--make-your-own picture books. I'm kind but firm, a great listener, and will work together with you on whatever challenges your child might face. My goal is to create a fun, accepting, and enriching space where your child feels excited to play, learn, and be themselves. I love animals (I have my own wonderful dog) and can help with feeding, medication and dog walks, though I am a bit allergic to cats. I'm looking for a part-time position, though up to 30 hours/week can work. I look forward to meeting you!

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
