Laura $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Laura, a loving, patient, responsible, and trustworthy caregiver who genuinely loves children. I currently care for a 3-year-old, and I really enjoy being part of his daily routine, playing, reading, preparing meals, and creating fun learning activities. I believe children need patience, attention, affection, and a safe environment where they can feel comfortable being themselves. I’m also a veterinarian, so I’m very responsible and caring, and I’m comfortable with family pets. I would be happy to care for your child and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

Marylibi $30 per hour for 1 child

About Me I've been a nanny for nearly 30 years, and one of the things I enjoy most about my work is watching children grow, learn, and develop every day. I especially love caring for infants, starting around 2 months old, and continuing through the kindergarten years. I was with my last family for 13 years, and the only reason we parted ways was because of COVID. Otherwise, I truly believe I would probably still be working with them. Over the past five years, I've worked with about five different families. I usually work a couple of days with one family and a couple of days with another. In my free time with the children, I love going to the playground, taking long walks, and enjoying fun outdoor activities together. I'm caring, dependable, and experienced, and I truly enjoy helping children feel safe, happy, and loved while they are in my care.

Sophia $24 per hour for 1 child

I’m a dependable, nurturing caregiver with experience supporting children of all ages, including infants, toddlers, school-aged children, and children on the autism spectrum. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and pride myself on creating a safe, structured, and positive environment where children can grow, learn, and have fun. I bring a calm, patient, and attentive approach to caregiving, while also keeping kids engaged through age-appropriate activities, outdoor play, reading, crafts, and learning-focused routines. I strongly value communication and teamwork with parents to ensure we’re always on the same page regarding expectations, schedules, and developmental goals. In addition to childcare, I’m comfortable assisting with light housekeeping, meal prep, errands, homework help, and daily routines. I’m also experienced with pets and household support, making me a well-rounded and reliable help for busy families. Above all, I genuinely love caring for others and take pride in being someone families can trust, rely on, and feel confident leaving their loved ones with.

"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."

"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)."
