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!

Hi I’m Evelyn. I’m a college junior and work with kids in my free time. I have two years of traditional daycare experience ages 4 months to 12 years. I’m willing to help with homework and housework, while also doing general childcare. I enjoy cats and dogs, math is probably my favorite subject, and I really enjoy a good game of make believe.

Gianna $20 per hour for 1 child

I am a responsible, diligent, communicative, tidy, trustworthy employee. I have plenty experience with kids and absolutely adore them, especially helping them in church Sunday school, along with helping raise my six-year-old nephew from as young as three months. I love to help people, I’m open to any postpartum mothers, first time, or infants, and I’m willing to help out any senior citizens. I am CPRBLS certified. I was in nursing school and completed 40 hours of clinicals in a nursing home and again in hospital, and I’m currently working on my CNA certificate. I hope you come across me for your next night out, date night, or even if you just need a well-deserved break!

"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)."
