Nichole $18 per hour for 1 child

I’m a WFH insurance agent. I’m a 38 y.o. Christian, single female with no kids. However I have been babysitting on and off since I was 12. I have many friends with children, and it is my pleasure to be able to help them from time to time, as some are single mothers, since I’m in the position to help. I’m typically known as the adopted Auntie, as I’m very protective and it’s important the children feel safe in their own home. Especially under my care, as I take safety very seriously. While I am fun and like to laugh, I don’t allow that to take away from what’s important, such as their homework or any obligations they may have. I have reliable transportation, I cook, I clean, I change diapers, and I enjoy quality time with the children instead of only placing them in front of a television. Their responsibilities I will honor, as well as the parents requests. Feel free to reach out for references or if you would like to meet on zoom or for coffee. I do have a business meeting one Saturday a month. I typically get a 1-2 week notice as the day fluctuates. On these days, I am available from the am to around 1pm as I have to travel. Also I currently don’t have a vehicle as my transmission went but can get to and from your house if local.

Susana $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!

"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)."
