Sarah $24 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! I’m Sarah, a Drexel grad in Child & Family Psychology with experience as a behavior technician, nanny, and au pair. I’ve worked closely with children with autism, ADD, and Asperger’s, so I bring lots of patience, understanding, and structure. I’m bubbly, creative, and love keeping kids engaged with fun activities, cooking, and learning through play. I’m great with routines, helping little ones feel safe and confident, and supporting busy households with pets and light home help too.

Abigail $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Abigail ( you can also call me Abi) . I am in my final year of medical school and looking to make some cash on the side during my free time. I am offering child care and senior care services. I own a car. **Child care**** I enjoy taking care of people hence inspiring my goal to pursue a career in medicine. I have helped to babysit children of relatives and friends, and I will say I always had a great time with them! The most professional setting will be when I served for 1 year as the Childrens Ministry coordinator for my church which allowed me to work with multiple children (ages 4-10) at a time. This role added a spark to my assigned Sundays as I looked forward to spending time with them; teaching, learning through activities, and creating fun memories together all while ensuring their safety and comfort. I have also tutored elementary school children in maths, reading and science. ***Senior Care**** Growing up, I helped my mother to take care of my grandfather who had Alzheimer’s. I have always enjoyed taking care of people especially at their most vulnerable moments which can come with aging or sickness. While in medical school, I have been blessed with many opportunities to play that role for patients of different ages. However, I am even more grateful I get to take care of the elderly both in inpatient and outpatient settings. Also, having a mother who works as a CNA has given me the chance to learn more about being an even better caregiver to the elderly. I can help with meals, drive to appointments, and other tasks. *Others I may consider* -Errands -Tutoring -Cleaning -Laundry Thanks for checking out my profile 😊

Nevaeh $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Nevaeh, and I’m currently a third-year senior at Howard University. I’m offering childcare, pet care, and household services. I have hands-on experience caring for a child since birth who is now 20 months old. My responsibilities have included preparing meals, maintaining daily routines, keeping him entertained and engaged, and taking him to activities such as gymnastics. I’m comfortable providing attentive, reliable care while creating a safe, nurturing, and positive environment. I also have experience with household responsibilities, including cooking, cleaning, tidying up, and caring for family pets, including cats and dogs. I’m patient, dependable, responsible, organized, and compassionate. I genuinely enjoy caring for children and pets and helping families with their everyday needs.

Taylor $27 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Taylor and I’m a 20 year old junior bioethics major at Howard University from Brooklyn Ny. On Long Island I worked for pierce country day camp in Roslyn ny. I was the counselor for mainly 4-5 year old girls amongst toddlers and the 1 year olds as we worked side by side. From 8am-4pm we would guide them and oversee their daily activities which ranged from arts and crafts, gymnastics, zipling, dance, tennis, basketball, lunch, snack, and outfit changes. I would often have to console them and make them laugh to distract them. I love kids especially the toddlers I have a baby sister myself and would tend to her as a child. Because of the connections I made at camp parents reached out to me to babysit even after camp had ended in high school. I hope u would consider having me. As I mentioned before I’m a student so babysitting allows flexibility to do school work.

Rosiret $30 per hour for 1 child

I consider myself a caring, patient, and very responsible person. I enjoy spending time with children, accompanying them in their games as well as in their daily routines, always with respect and dedication. I am organized, attentive, and I strive to provide a safe and calm environment where parents can feel confident knowing their children are well cared for. For me, the most important thing is to build a relationship based on affection, trust, and respect, both with the children and with the family. Me considero una persona cariñosa, paciente y muy responsable. Disfruto compartir tiempo con los niños, acompañarlos en sus juegos y también en sus rutinas diarias, siempre con respeto y dedicación. Soy organizada, atenta y me esfuerzo por brindar un ambiente seguro y tranquilo, donde los padres puedan sentirse en confianza sabiendo que sus hijos están bien cuidados. Para mí, lo más importante es crear una relación basada en el cariño, la confianza y el respeto, tanto con los niños como con la familia.

"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)."
