Harper $10 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Harper and I am currently going into my sophomore year at the University of Texas. My friends would describe me as upbeat and bubbly! I have always had a love for kids, and really started to baby sit regularly my sophomore year of high school. Being new to Austin I’m so excited to be looking for new families!

$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 58 families in Austin, TX

Hi there! I am an Austin nanny with a BFA in Acting/Musical Theatre and am high-energy, fun, yet patient. In NYC and Los Angeles I was a nanny to a 4 month-old, 10 month-old, and 3 yr-old child so I have lots of experience in early childhood. I have babysat for children of all ages and love playdates, exploring the outdoors, watching Disney movies, or just listening to the wild imagination of a child. I have also been a director at a children’s theatre company and have experience with TK and toddlers all the way up to middle school kids. I am very flexible with times/dates, love pets, and am open to babysitting children/teens of all ages!

“Mason was AMAZING with my two-year-old! He absolutely loved her and missed her every day after she left. She is charismatic, energetic, empathetic, and incredibly attentive, the kind of person who makes you feel comfortable trusting her with your child. Her patience and the way she incorporated learning into their time together really stood out. She also carefully followed his strict dietary restrictions, cooking every meal from scratch. That level of care and attention meant so much to me. Most importantly, Mason was reliable and always on time. This was my first experience caring for my son without his mom while also working from home, and she helped make it such a positive experience. I felt supported, and my son was happy and well cared for. I highly recommend booking Mason. We are so grateful for her!”

Hi there, my name is Yvonne. I speak both English and Spanish.

$27 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 12 families in Austin, TX

Hi there! I’m Nizmee L Acosta, and I’m confident that I’m an excellent caregiver because of my extensive experience working with children of all ages. My experience includes before-and-after school programs and daycares that specialize in children with autism. Currently, I work part-time at my hospital job, so I’m available to babysit during my days off and afternoons. I’ll take requests before my schedule is finalized. I’m also certified in Basic Life Support (BLS) and can provide documentation upon request. I relish spending time outdoors with children and engaging them in enjoyable projects to keep them entertained. I cherish the opportunity to be present with children and get to know them. My extensive experience with children makes it effortless for me to communicate with them in various ways, ensuring their comfort and well-being. I also enjoy helping around the house while the kids are occupied with their homework and other activities. If needed, I can also assist with pet care. I own a car, so I can help with drop-offs and pick-ups whenever necessary. I’m also willing to travel if necessary, even at short notice. Additionally, I can stay at your place overnight to care for the children for an extra charge.

“Nizmee was a godsend for us! She’s proactive, thoughtful, and our kids loved her :)”

"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

"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)."
