Iasmin 1 review
$13 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Iasmin, and I’m a caring, responsible, and outgoing person who truly enjoys working with children. I have experience taking care of kids of different ages and always try to create a safe, fun, and positive environment for them. I’m patient, organized, and comfortable helping with daily routines such as meals, playtime, bedtime, homework, and transportation when needed. I also enjoy activities like arts and crafts, outdoor walks, games, and anything that keeps children engaged and happy. Besides childcare, I’m also happy to help with light household tasks and keeping things organized. I’m adaptable, reliable, and love building a good connection with families. Originally from Brazil, living abroad has helped me become even more independent, communicative, and open-minded. I’m always excited to learn new things, meet new people, and create meaningful experiences with the families I work with.

Iasmin took care of our 2-year-old daughter for the past year and she was wonderful with her. She’s caring, reliable, and our daughter absolutely loves her. We always felt comfortable knowing our daughter was in great hands and would definitely recommend her to any family

Shanel $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.

"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)."
