Allyson 2 reviews
$22 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Allyson! Caring for children has been one of the greatest joys in my life. I've been babysitting and nannying since I was 12 years old and have had the privilege of caring for dozens of families with children ranging from just 2 weeks old through 12 years old. I am currently the Lead Teacher in an infant classroom at a daycare in Chesterfield. I moved to the area this summer from Wisconsin with my partner after earning my M.A. in Public Service from Marquette University. While I enjoy working with children of all ages, I have a special passion for caring for infants. Building trusting relationships with families is incredibly important to me, and several parents have shared that I was the first person outside of their family they felt comfortable leaving their baby with. I consider that trust an incredible honor and strive to provide every child with patient, attentive, and loving care. My graduate fellowship at a child welfare agency deepened my holistic approach to caregiving. There, I received training in trauma-informed care and Trust-Based Relational Intervention, strengthening my understanding of child development, emotional regulation, and the importance of secure, responsive relationships. I am also currently earning a Trauma Informed Care Certification through Michigan State University to continue expanding my knowledge and provide the best care possible for every child I work with. Whether we're reading books, exploring outside, creating art, or working through big emotions together, I strive to create an environment where children feel safe, respected, and encouraged to learn. I'm also happy to assist with meal preparation, light housekeeping, homework/educational activities, and pet care so I can be a dependable, supportive presence for your entire family. On a personal note, I love being in water, quality time with my partner, singing, going to parks, and snuggles with with my kitty, Miss Araya Sunshine. One of my long-term dreams is to open a daycare centered on social-emotional learning, nervous system regulation, and helping children explore their interests and build confidence through safe, nurturing relationships. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and provide quality, nurturing care to your littles!

“Allyson has been our go-to trusted sitter for our 3-year-old and 1-year-old for about a year. She is AMAZING with kids. Her warm, nurturing personality immediately won over my stubborn toddler. My husband and I never worry for a second about our kids while they're in her hands. I cannot recommend Allyson enough.”

Alysta $16 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Alysta, and I’ve been babysitting for about 6 years. Most of my experience is with younger children, including infants and toddlers, but I enjoy spending time with kids of all ages. I truly love helping children learn, play, and grow in a safe and fun environment. Families I’ve worked with describe me as kind, reliable, and patient someone their kids get excited to see! I enjoy planning creative activities, reading stories, and making sure each child feels comfortable and cared for. I take safety seriously and always treat every child as if they were my own family. Whether you need a regular sitter, last-minute help, or someone trustworthy for a date night, I’d love to lend a hand. I look forward to meeting your family and helping make your days a little easier!

"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)."
