Kayla 1 review
$21 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Austin, TX

Hi all! My name is Kayla, and I’m 19 years old. I go to UT Austin and am studying Education. This summer I worked full time as a Pre-k teacher in Lakeway, but will be back on campus in August for school. Working with kids is my passion! I’ve babysat since I was in middle school and have cared for all ages of kids in so many different settings, including: teaching swim lessons, in playroom settings (YMCA child watch), in their homes, and in the classroom. I love playing games, going on walks outside, cooking/baking with the kiddos, and much more! I currently do not have a car, so unfortunately I’m unable to drive kiddos to and from activities, if that’s what you’re looking for. But, I am willing to entertain and watch your kiddos, cook meals, put them to bed, etc. I can’t wait to meet new families!

Booked by 2 families in Austin, TX

Hi all! My name is Aleksandra, I’m 26. I’ve been babysitting for over 5 years. I was an AuPair in California, where I took care of two kids. I speak English and Russian. I’m caring, patient, responsible, fun and creative, and I always try to make every day bright and enjoyable for the little ones. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, outdoor activities, traveling and meeting new people. Please feel free to ask me any questions! Thank you! :)

Aleksandra was so great with our daughter who immediately took to her and felt totally comfortable. She was on time and professional.

Lissette $24 per hour for 1 child

Hi family’s! I’m Lissy I’m a very loving, upbeat, and patient caregiver with 5 years of experience caring for children ages 1–12, including working in a Sunday church daycare. I genuinely love spending time with kids and creating a safe, happy, and fun environment where they feel comfortable and cared for. I enjoy staying active, playing outside, and helping with daily routines. I’m also a huge animal lover with 5 dogs and a cat, so pets are always a joy for me! I’m currently in school for phlebotomy, which has helped me become even more responsible, attentive, and compassionate. I would be so excited to support your family and care for your little ones like my own!

"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)."
