Booked by 32 families in Houston, TX

Hi my name is Elizabeth and i’m from Houston Texas, I am a junior at Texas southern university and I major in political science with a minor in pre-law. Aside from my future career Ive always been great with kids and overall a great companion. I grew up with several dogs and siblings. My mother passed away when I was six years old due to breast cancer, that drastic occurrence gave me an opportunity to become strong and independent. I’ve always been great with communication along with being able to multi-task. When it comes to any task i’m very time sufficient. As long as there is communication and instruction I will without a doubt exceed your expectations. :))

“Elizabeth accepted the posting on a last-minute basis. She was very professional, communicative, and took wonderful care of our daughter. I would absolutely use Elizabeth again and would recommend her to other families!”

Hello! My name is Laury and I'm excited to be a babysitter/Nanny with the added benefit of my teaching background. With 3 years of experience working with children in educational settings and 4 years babysitting/ Nanny experience, I'm skilled at creating engaging and educational activities that foster both fun and learning. I'm patient, reliable, and enjoy working with kids of all ages, and disabilities.

"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."

"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)."
