Miya $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Miya. I’m a mom, so I know firsthand how important it is to have someone patient, reliable, and attentive caring for your children. I truly enjoy spending time with kids and supporting their families. I have experience caring for babies, toddlers, and older children. Along with raising my own children, I have volunteered at my church daycare where I supervised activities, ensured a safe environment, assisted with meals, naps, playtime, and bedtime routines. I am comfortable with diaper changes, meal prep, bedtime routines, homework help, and creating fun, safe, and nurturing experiences for every child in my care. I always respect household rules and aim to make each child feel valued and supported. I would love the opportunity to help your family.

Brenna $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Brenna and I am a freshman at the University of Texas. I am offering child care over the summer. I have experience working with children ages 4 to 12, and I have been babysitting since I was 14. In the past couple of years I have been a babysitter, summer camp counselor, and an after school teacher at a Charter school. Along with that I am CPR, First Aid, and AED certified. I love being active and doing outdoors activities but also board games. I am very organized and manage my time well because I have experience working in a class room setting. In addition to that it is easy for me to assist kids with any school work they might have as well. Lastly, I love animals so I will feel comfortable working with families who have pets.

Madison $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Madison, but you can call me Madi. I am 18 years old, and I’m from Chicago, but I’ve been living in Frisco for six years, so I’m very familiar with the area. Because of that, I’m also more than happy to set up a meet-and-greet with parents, kids, or pets prior to booking—whatever makes you feel most comfortable! A few things I think you should know about me: I genuinely love animals and being around/taking care of kids. Despite my age, I was a major component in helping raise my 4-year-old niece, Klhoe. Regardless of the ups and downs, I have been extremely ecstatic every second of it. I enjoy cleaning and organizing because of their therapeutic qualities. I also have a fair familiarity in the kitchen when it comes to cooking for the kiddos and making sure they’re well-fed. At home, I have three dogs—a Maltese, a Shih Tzu mix, and a Siberian Husky—so I’m acquainted and comfortable with all dog sizes. I have experience handling both high-energy and low-energy dogs, and I understand how to adapt my approach based on each dog’s individual needs and temperament. Last, but definitely not least, I am a soon-to-be mother, and below I will list reasons why that detail is so important: 1.Natural nurturing instincts: Pregnancy often heightens an expecting mother’s awareness and attentiveness to the needs of children, making her more nurturing and empathetic. 2.Preparation and knowledge: As an expecting mother, I spend a lot of time learning about child development, safety, feeding, and soothing techniques, which are skills I can directly apply to babysitting. 3. Patience and responsibility: Preparing for my baby has drastically helped me develop patience, responsibility, and planning skills—all of which are crucial for caring for children. 4. Genuine interest in kids: As I prepare for motherhood, I have a genuine interest in being around and caring for children, which, from experience, can make me a more engaged and attentive babysitter, rather than someone doing this solely for work. Well that’s a little about me. I hope to meet you and your little loved ones soon!!

"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)."
