Mae $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Houston, TX

Hi, my name is Mae! I am 26 years old. I moved here from California to get my degree in communications and graduated from the University of Houston and I am interested in your babysitting position. I have extensive experience caring for children, as I have been babysitting since I was younger—primarily for my younger cousins. As one of the oldest in my family, I’ve cared for children ranging from newborns to 14 years old, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of ages and needs. I am CPR certified and enjoy supporting children with their learning. I’m especially confident in helping with homework, and I genuinely enjoy creating a positive, supportive environment for kids to grow and feel comfortable. I also have experience with pets, as I have owned dogs throughout my life , so I am more than happy to be around animals and assist with pet care if needed. Additionally, I have a valid driver’s license and my own car, so I’m available for transportation or running errands if required. I am currently looking for babysitting and nanny opportunities as I work toward personal financial goals and saving up for grad school. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide reliable, caring assistance. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you!

Ylana $25 per hour for 1 child

I have several years of experience caring for children, seniors, and pets. I worked at Kidventure, where I created a fun, safe, and engaging environment for kids, helping to make each day memorable. I’ve also babysat for multiple families, building strong relationships and adapting to different routines and needs. In addition to childcare, I’ve helped care for my grandmother when needed, offering support with daily tasks and companionship. These experiences have taught me patience, empathy, and responsibility. I’m dependable, nurturing, and quick to adapt—whether I’m helping with homework, preparing meals, or providing company and care.

"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)."
