Hi! I’m Tanith and I’m working toward becoming a teacher, which is why I love spending time with kids and helping them grow. I’ve babysat children of all ages and always aim to create a safe, fun, and calm environment. Whether it’s playing, helping with homework, or bedtime routines, I bring patience, responsibility, and care to every job. Babysitting has been a great way for me to gain experience with kids, and I’d love the chance to support your family!

Niya $20 per hour for 1 child

I’m a compassionate, dependable, and patient caregiver who truly enjoys helping others. I have hands-on experience as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), where I’ve provided personal care, assisted with daily living activities, monitored residents, and created a safe, comfortable environment for seniors. I’m CPR, AED, and First Aid certified and currently pursuing a nursing degree with the goal of becoming a pediatric nurse. In addition to caring for seniors, I have experience caring for children, including newborns and young kids, through babysitting family members and younger cousins. I enjoy keeping children engaged with age-appropriate activities while ensuring they’re safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m also happy to help with light housekeeping, meal preparation, homework assistance, transportation to activities (if needed), organization, and maintaining a clean, welcoming home. I’m comfortable around pets as well and can assist with basic pet care such as feeding, walks, playtime, and giving them plenty of attention. Families describe me as kind, responsible, trustworthy, and attentive. I believe in treating every child, senior, and family with the same love, patience, and respect that I would want for my own 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)."
