Ana $13 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Ana. I’m a warm, attentive caregiver originally from the San Francisco Bay Area and now based in Houston. I'm currently available for the summer. I currently work with children ages 2–4 at a small academy, in the heights where I teach Spanish and art in a nurturing, play-based environment. I also have experience teaching English as a Second Language to children ages 3–12, including working with Japanese families, which has helped me develop strong communication skills and cultural sensitivity. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood and Adolescent Psychology from Saint Mary’s College of California. I love creating a calm, engaging space where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to learn through play, creativity, and routine. I’m patient, dependable, and very mindful of each child’s unique personality and needs. I’m happy to help with age-appropriate activities, light learning, bed time routines, and potty training. Thank you for the opportunity to serve your child. I look forward to work with you . Ana

Ashley $16 per hour for 1 child

One trait about me is that I genuinely find joy in caring for others. I love to be able to help others out in any way I can. I have taken care of kids within the ages of 4-13 plenty of times. This has been through paid jobs such as babysitting, or simply watching a child at an adult event. I care deeply for the safety and well being of all kids, especially the ones that are in my care. I have previously worked at a fast food restaurant, and one of my top priorities was that all child customer had coloring books and hats to ensure they were happy and satisfied. Another previous job of mine was at a veterinary hospital as a boarding associate. It was my job to take care of all the cats and dogs in boarding. This included walking, feeding, administering medication, and cleaning for pets. I have also done multiple jobs as pet sitting. I genuinely love caring for and bringing joy to pets and kids while their parents are away.

"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."

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)."
