Kallisti $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kallisti, and I'm a college student majoring in Zoology. I've been babysitting since I was in 6th grade, and throughout highschool, I worked as a babysitter in the evenings and on weekends. Caregiving has always been something I truly enjoy, kids just have such a radiant energy, and spending time with them is always rewarding. I'm an outdoorsy person who loves hiking, going on walks, and staying active. I also enjoy reading and journaling in my free time. Along with babysitting, I have extensive experience pet sitting and have earned multiple animal care certifications through high school coursework and hands-on experience. I'm CPR certified, including specialized infant cpr, and I have my babysitting certification as well. In addition to child care and pet care, I've had the opportunity to assist with senior care on multiple occasions. I have a deep respect for the elderly and a natural ability to connect with people of all ages. I'd describe myself as warm and friendly. I love meeting new people and providing care to those who need a little extra support. I'm also patient, attentive, and highly dependable. I take my responsibilities seriously while ensuring a fun and engaging environment. And I look forward to working with your family!

"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)."
