*I am CPR Certified* Hi!! My name is Aitana, and I absolutely love working with kids. I’m responsible, patient, and naturally nurturing, but I also know how to have fun and keep little ones engaged. Whether it’s helping with homework, planning creative activities, or just making sure your child feels safe and happy, I always bring positive energy and care into every home. I understand how important it is to trust the person watching your child, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and fun environment where kids feel comfortable and parents feel at ease. I look forward to meeting your family! 💛

Aitana is wonderful, highly recommend!

Sara $17 per hour for 1 child

I have over 5 years of childcare experience and without it I wouldn’t have made it through undergrad. Entertaining kids with silly theatre games or French classes has been a joy in my life and in many ways your children become an extension of my family. I am the eldest of two brothers with a 7-year gap between the eldest and an 18-year gap between the youngest. It is safe to say I am a second mother in my family and caring for my family has served as my training. I hope to do more than just watch your child but to add to their language skills and teach them fun confidence boosting theatre games as well. I am also a licensed Registered Behavioral Therapist with over 6 months experience teaching autistic kids adaptive skills.

Cesaltina $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi ! My main goal is to help you transform your house into a pleasant/harmonious home by providing tailored family assistance. I have experience with infants and seniors too. I am BLS certified and comfortable with swimming (water safety certification acquired). I have a governess certification (kids private education/tutor & household management) as well as Montessori curriculum certification for kids aged 0-5. Sweeteners: I am very flexible with my time, including on weekends and the kids would be my priority. I enjoy making healthy home meals and would probably make meals for the entire household when cooking for the kids. I love providing care not just because I have been doing it since I was 17, but because kids love my personality and I generally get along with tasks that require a lot of patience! Provided my education in child psychology, I believe that I am a good candidate because I am not just a regular sitter who would watch them. I would aim to apply pragmatism and make things productive— tailored to their cognitive & physical development! I grew up around various animals as my father would rescue all sorts of animals, so I am pet friendly !

Kariyana $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Kari, a creative, dependable, and compassionate caregiver with 10+ years of childcare experience, 15 years of household experience, and 4 years of professional pet-sitting experience. I genuinely enjoy caring for people, children, pets, and homes, and I take pride in creating a safe, comfortable, and positive environment for every family I work with. I’ve been babysitting since I was about 12, starting with my younger cousins and nephews, including babies just a few months old. Since then, I’ve cared for children ranging from newborns through young teens (up to age 16). I also worked for two years at 24 Hour Fitness Plus in their childcare program, giving me professional experience caring for multiple children and keeping them safe, engaged, and entertained. I love creative activities, imaginative play, music, storytelling, arts and crafts, and helping with homework. My background in theatre also makes me especially comfortable creating fun, engaging activities for kids of different ages and personalities. I’m currently completing my pediatric and adult CPR training and certification. I also offer household services and have about 15 years of experience cleaning and caring for homes. I work quickly but thoroughly and pay close attention to detail. I’ve been recommended by previous clients because I take pride in doing a great job. Most importantly, there is absolutely no judgment here! Whether you need routine cleaning, tidying, organizing, or help getting your home back under control, I’m happy to help. I’ve been pet sitting for about four years and have experience caring for senior pets, disabled pets, and pets who need medications. I’m comfortable with feeding, administering medication, providing companionship, and following individual care instructions. I’ve also grown up with pets and had my own cat for 11 years, so I understand how much our animals mean to us. I’m also interested in senior care. I helped my grandmother care for my great-grandmother until she passed, and I’m comfortable providing companionship, assistance with meals and feedings, entertainment, and day-to-day support. I’m especially happy to keep someone company through conversation, music, singing, games, or simply being a friendly presence. I’m patient, attentive, responsible, creative, and genuinely care about the people and animals I work with. My goal is for families to feel comfortable knowing their loved ones and their homes are in capable, caring hands.

"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)."
