“It's with much pleasure that I’d like to recommend Ana as a babysitter. She has watched my two children (ages 4 and 7) four times a week for the last 6 months. Ana consistently arrived at our home on time, ready to engage with our kids, with a smile on. She's kind, compassionate, and intelligent. My children really look forward to spending time with Ana and they also look up to her as a role model. Ana is still currently working with us approximately 4 times a week. Ana is fully certified in CPR and First Aid, and has also completed a babysitting course, in addition to her natural talent when it comes to childcare. If you choose to hire Ana, you can be confident that you're getting one of the best babysitters around. You don't have to worry about a babysitter who will just sit and watch TV, Ana is very engaging with kids and earns her fee.”

I have been caregiving for the past 10 years, I am passionate about everything I do and my top priority is always my clients safety. I communicate always with the clients family and I am also at all times available and willing to work. I oversee the welfare and social emotional need with the logistics and planning of any activities the client wishes to participate in. I treat my patients like my family.

“Ms. Mavis is one of the best people for whom I have worked with. She was so patient, understanding and just overall showed so much care for my child. When my husband and I decided to move away, it was hard because we thinking of the childcare. I wish I could move with her, lol. If we ever move back, I definitely know who to call. She is an amazing person and the best nanny.”

"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)."
