Hi parents! My name is Patricia, and I’m a Biology graduate from the University of North Texas. I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable sitter who genuinely enjoys creating a safe and positive environment for children. With years of experience caring for my younger siblings and volunteering in the children’s department at my church, I’ve learned the importance of patience, communication, and understanding each child’s unique personality. I strive to make every moment enjoyable and engaging, whether it’s through creative activities, learning time, or simple play. I’m fully vaccinated and have reliable transportation, so punctuality and dependability are always priorities for me. I currently babysit for families across Dallas, Forney, Plano, and the DFW area, and I look forward to meeting your family and providing the best care possible. Fun fact: I’m a great cook and love preparing delicious, kid-friendly meals! 😊

Did a great job with a very last minute posting. Highly recommend.

Hi , I’m Shia get to know me ! I’m a student at TCC College focusing on business and science. I’m a certified medical assistant. I have a reliable vehicle. I enjoy shopping , nature and food ! I find peace in writing poems and reading books . I like small dogs . I have strong skills in childcare, including creating safe and engaging activities, helping with homework, and supporting daily routines like meals, naps, and bedtime. I’m also skilled at communicating with both children and parents, staying patient, and handling challenges calmly. In addition, I have hands-on training from my daycare and teacher assistant experience, where I learned age-appropriate care, classroom support, and safety practices. I’m also CPR and First Aid aware, which helps me respond responsibly in emergencies. I have been working in caregiving since I was 16 years old. My experience includes working in a daycare, serving as a teacher assistant at a school, and providing babysitting for children ranging from infants (0–1 years old) to school-aged children (3–13 years old). Through these roles, I’ve gained hands-on experience with different age groups and learned how to provide safe, nurturing, and engaging care. I love being a sitter because it allows me to combine responsibility with something I truly enjoy caring for children. I enjoy being a positive role model and someone they can feel comfortable with, while also giving parents peace of mind knowing their children are well cared for. I enjoy spending time with kids and creating a safe, fun environment for them. It’s rewarding to be part of their growth, whether that’s helping with homework, encouraging creativity, or just making them laugh. I'm excited to bring my passion and positive attitude to families in Texas. I'm CPR + First Aid certified and ready to create a fun, supportive environment while gaining valuable experience and supporting your family's needs.

"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)."
