Hi, I’m Maria! I am a dependable, caring, and experienced childcare provider with several years of hands-on experience caring for children of various ages, from infants to school-aged kids.

Hannah $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi everyone! My name is Hannah. A little about me—I was a gymnast for 14 years and then transitioned into cheerleading for both my high school and competitive teams until I graduated. I’m currently attending Collin College in McKinney, working toward my BSN in nursing. I have 3–4 years of experience working with kids ages 5–12 through both babysitting and coaching. Whether you’re looking for a reliable babysitter or private lessons in cheer and gymnastics, I’d love to help! I’m happy to assist with homework, prepare meals, and make sure your kids feel safe and cared for. I’m also great with animals! I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my whole life and love taking care of them. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes—no dog is too big! I can help with feeding, walking, playing, and giving your pets the attention they need. I would love the opportunity to help your family and get to know your amazing kids and pets!

Lauren $25 per hour for 1 child

I am 25 years old, I have a BS in Psychology, and am currently a graduate student attending Walden University but primarily online. I am dual majoring in an MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and an MS in School Counseling! I am also engaged, soon to be married in November of this year! I have been working with kids since I was a Registered Behavior Technician from 2024 to February of this year. I have been nannying since December 2025 as well. While those experiences have been extremely rewarding, I’m looking for a part time nannying job so I can focus on grad school and wedding planning throughout the week. In my spare time (when I am not busy with wedding planning and/or grad school), I like to spend time with my 2 dogs, 2 cats, and my fiancée! My hobbies include writing/making music, playing video games, and arts and crafts/scrapbooking! One thing you should know about me is I can act quickly in stressful situations. My previous behavior therapy job and nannying experience has taught me how to handle my clients and their needs with care when circumstances become difficult at an increasingly fast pace. I am also CPR Certified! My skills include empathy, adaptability, structure, patience, and timeliness.

Emily $17 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m Emily. I have almost 5 years of experience working with children. I also have an 8 month old who I love with my whole heart. I love taking care of kids and watching their faces light up when having fun or learning something new. I’m always willing to improve my childcare skills. If it is okay I would like to bring my daughter with me while I babysit (this won’t affect the care for your child). I have the most experience with infants and toddlers, but am willing to babysit older children. I can’t wait to meet you and your family and hopefully help make your like a little bit easier and less worrisome.

"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)."
