$18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a friendly and caring sitter who loves spending time with kids. I was an Au Pair in the U.S. for one year, taking care of little ones and helping with their routines, playtime, and activities. Before that, I also cared for children in Colombia, where I’m from. I’m patient, responsible, and love creating fun, safe, and loving moments for kids. I can also help with homework and teach them Spanish in a fun and natural way! I’d love to meet your family and make your kids’ days a little brighter!

Hello! My name is Katie and I am currently studying at my local community college to get into the nursing program! I worked at a community Montessori school as an assistant teacher for 2 years. Often as a floater working with children 1-5 years old. I managed responsibilities like keeping the environment safe and engaging while meeting daily tasks, safely transporting them to and from outside playground, cleaning, feeding and serving food while making sure to meet dietary needs/restrictions, and most importantly keep kids safe and sound to return to their parents. - I can run errands - I can do minimal cleaning after kids (toys, spills, broom, vacuum or anything else caused by the kids while there) -I can cook - I speak Spanish/ hablo español - Drive to appointments/ activities I have taken care of my late grandmother who was often sick. I feel comfortable doing senior care. I also really really love animals! I have had all sorts of pets like iguanas, birds, turtles, dogs and cats! I would really love meeting yours!

Rita Isabel Woodbridge
$20 per hour for 1 child

While my full name is Rita Isabel, I go by Isabel, and I am a single parent of a 13 y/o and aunt to a toddler and newborn. Becoming an aunt made me realize I actually enjoy spending time with children that aren't my own and I'm pretty good at it. Once upon a time I was a clinician but decided that public health is the field for me so being an urbansitter is a side gig that I enjoy and find fulfillment in. I am very responsible, detail oriented and enjoy games and crafts!

Shanel Woodbridge
$17 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Shanel, and I am a part-time college student with many years of childcare experience. I have been babysitting since I was 16 years old, which has given me the opportunity to care for children of various ages and personalities. In addition to babysitting, I have been teaching elementary school students for the past few years, allowing me to develop strong skills in child development, education, and positive behavior management. I am an active, adventurous, and patient caregiver who truly enjoys working with children. Some of my favorite hobbies include reading, coloring, and ballet, and I love incorporating creative and educational activities into my time with children to keep them engaged, active, and focused. Teaching and caring for children is a passion of mine because I believe children are our future. I am attentive, dependable, and skilled at building positive connections with children while creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for them to learn and grow. I am CPR certified and experienced in meal preparation, light housekeeping, and organizing age-appropriate activities. My goal is to provide families with reliable childcare while ensuring children feel supported, encouraged, and cared for. I would love the opportunity to help your family. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or to discuss your childcare needs.

"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)."
