Anna $25 per hour for 1 child

I've had extensive experience with children in a variety of professional capacities (babysitting, nanny, tutor, yoga teacher) and have a young adult in college. In the past several years, I have worked with a few local families after school. It's a win-win for me having something I look forward to on my daily schedule and for families to have a reliable, mature caregiver the kids enjoy spending time with. I particularly like working with tweens and teens and am happy to shuttle to and from school, home, and activities.

Beatriz $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Beatriz, but everyone calls me Betty. I’m a Latina, a proud mother of three, and a trained nurse with over 23 years of experience living in the United States. With a strong background in healthcare and family care, I bring compassion, patience, and professionalism to every family I work with. As a nurse, I understand the importance of safety, attention to detail, and emotional support — whether I’m caring for children, seniors, or even pets. I have experience with children of all ages, and I love creating a warm, engaging, and safe environment where they can learn, play, and grow. I’m also experienced in senior care, offering kind companionship, assistance with daily routines, and medical awareness when needed. I’m responsible, trustworthy, and deeply respectful of each family's values and routines. I’m also an animal lover and enjoy caring for dogs — ensuring they get the exercise, affection, and attention they need. I am fluent in both English and Spanish, which helps me connect with a wide range of families and provide inclusive care. Being a mother and a healthcare professional has taught me how to stay calm in stressful situations, how to multitask with care, and how to treat every person with dignity and kindness. If you’re looking for someone reliable, nurturing, and experienced — someone who truly cares — I would love to support your family in any way I can. Thank you for considering me, and I hope to meet you soon!

Sosan $24 per hour for 1 child

I’m an experienced caregiver who truly enjoys supporting kids, families, and pets. I’ve been around children since I was young and have spent several years babysitting for families in my community. I love caring for kids of all ages, creating a fun and safe environment, and building trusting relationships with the families I work with. I’m patient, energetic, and responsible, and I always do my best to meet each child’s needs. I enjoy planning activities, especially arts and crafts, games, and anything that lets kids be creative. Families appreciate that I naturally connect with children and provide consistent, reliable care. I’m certified through the American Red Cross Babysitter’s Training Class and have experience helping with routines, preparing meals, assisting with bathroom needs, and keeping things clean and organized. I also enjoy working with pets and have supported children with special needs when parents provided guidance. I love interacting with people from different cultures and backgrounds, and I’m always excited to bring a positive attitude, strong communication skills, and a caring approach to every family I work with.

"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)."
