Javan 3 reviews
$16 per hour for 1 child

With over 18 years of experience caring for children, seniors, and pets, I bring both compassion and energy to every family I work with. I’m a creative and nurturing caregiver who truly enjoys making each day meaningful, whether that’s helping with homework, preparing home-cooked meals, keeping the house organized, or simply providing genuine companionship. I take pride in being dependable, patient, and understanding of each family’s unique needs. My goal is to create a safe, positive, and comfortable environment where everyone feels cared for and supported.

Javan Plummer is more than what meets the eye. Javan is one of the most full hearted people that I know who not only works above and beyond, but puts his heart in anything he has his mind/eyes set on. Because of this his care for children is shown as a lifeguard manager who greets every child with their own greeting and special care. If you’re looking for a traditional babysitter that cares for the kids while you enjoy a night out with ease, look no further! I trust him with my precious gifts of life and I do deserve someone that cares for the type of job this calls for.

Paris 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child

I’m an outgoing, friendly, and caring person who genuinely enjoys working with children. I bring positive energy and patience to every situation, creating a fun and safe environment where kids can feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to grow. I love engaging children through play, learning activities, and conversation, and I take pride in helping them build confidence and kindness in their everyday interactions. Parents can trust that I’m dependable, attentive, and always focused on making sure each child feels valued and cared for.

Paris is my sister, and she absolutely loves being around children. She naturally shows those nurturing, motherly qualities that every child needs. She works wonderfully with babies and toddlers, always keeping them engaged and active — I know because my little sister is completely attached to her! Paris communicates well, is patient and accommodating, and I truly think she would be a perfect match.

Booked by 4 families in Houston, TX

Hi! My name is Arnaulia , but I go by my middle name which is Daisy. I am a dedicated travel nanny and babysitter based in Houston, Texas. Because I frequently travel both within the United States and internationally, l've made it a passion to support families wherever I go. With over 8 years of experience working with children of all ages, I bring warmth, reliability, and a deep understanding of child development to every family I serve. I hold a degree in Psychology, which allows me to understand children's emotional and developmental needs-even when they can't always express them in words. In addition, I have professional experience as a Behavior Technician, where I worked closely with children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). This role equipped me with valuable skills in behavior management, positive reinforcement strategies, patience, and creating structured, supportive environments tailored to each child's unique needs. Children hold a very special place in my heart. I believe that every child deserves to feel seen, heard, and unconditionally loved. There is something truly magical about witnessing their curiosity, laughter, and growth. Being part of their journey-even for a short time-is a privilege I cherish deeply. Babysitting is more than just a job to me; it's an opportunity to make a meaningful and lasting impact on a child's life while giving parents peace of mind. I easily adapt to all age groups, from infants to teenagers, and I genuinely enjoy building trusting relationships with families. In addition to childcare, I have experience in teaching and tutoring French, and I speak four languages, with French being my favorite. I also offer same-day babysitting services, provided I am not already booked, making me a flexible and dependable option for families with last-minute needs. Services & Highlights • Over 8 years of childcare experience • Degree in Psychology • Experience as a Behavior Technician (ASD & ADHD) • Multilingual (speaks four languages, including French) • French tutoring available • Adaptable to all age groups • Same-day babysitting (based on availability) • Travel nanny services (domestic & international) • Patient, nurturing, and dependable (For quicker response contact me [removed]710)

"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)."
