Kymberly Hartfield
$15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m an 18-year-old responsible and caring caregiver and the oldest of five siblings, so I’ve spent many years helping take care of younger children. I have hands-on experience with all ages, including my 2-year-old brother, and I also assist my stepmom with the kids she babysits. This has helped me learn how to keep children safe, follow routines, and plan fun, age-appropriate activities. I’m patient, dependable, and focused on creating a positive environment where kids feel comfortable and supported. While I’m not officially CPR/First Aid certified, I have learned CPR in health class and understand the basics of emergency response. I also have experience caring for my own cats and can help with feeding, playtime, and basic pet care. I’m happy to assist with light housekeeping, simple meals, and keeping things organized. Families can count on me to be attentive, trustworthy, and reliable.

Saddie 1 review
Williamsburg
$17 per hour for 1 child

I’m 22 years old, from Utah and am a recently married military spouse. I am CPR certified (Basic life support) as well as an emt student and former pediatric medical assistant. I grew up with 3 new baby siblings at age 11 and always enjoyed helping my mom with anything I could. I’ve always had a passion for working with children and look forward to furthering my education in the medical field focusing on pediatrics and mothers. I don’t have children of my own quite yet but can’t wait for the time to come.

Having Saddie work for me was the best time of my and my baby’s lives! She is super patient and very attentive! She was a huge help and took a weight off my shoulders. She’s always on time, super kind and caring, and cares deeply about her job and the kids. She’s a 10000/10, and I definitely would recommend her to anyone!

Leilani Williamsburg
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Leilani (Lay-Lawn-Knee) I am 21 and a non smoker. I have 5 years of babysitting and nannying experience with children of varied ages. I am BLS certified (basic life support certified) and continuing my education in emergency medical care. I love playing outdoors, arts and crafts, and child lead play. It's important for me to teach all children in my care important life skills through play, problem solving, and communication, setting clear boundaries that allow kids to feel safe and supported. Along with open communication with you the parents are my top priorities. I have my own reliable transportation. I am okay with pets, doing meal preparation, bedtime, and of course helping with homework. My references are available upon request.

Allyson 1 review
Prince George
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Allyson, and I recently moved to the area from Wisconsin with my partner after earning my M.A. in Public Service from Marquette University. Caring for children has been one of the greatest joys in my life. I've been babysitting and nannying since I was 12 years old and have had the privilege of caring for dozens of families with children ranging from just 2 weeks old through 12 years old. While I enjoy working with children of all ages, I have a special passion for caring for infants. Building trusting relationships with families is incredibly important to me, and several parents have shared that I was the first person outside of their family they felt comfortable leaving their baby with. I consider that trust an incredible honor and strive to provide every child with patient, attentive, and loving care. My graduate fellowship at a child welfare agency deepened my holistic approach to caregiving. There, I received training in trauma-informed care and Trust-Based Relational Intervention, strengthening my understanding of child development, emotional regulation, and the importance of secure, responsive relationships. I am also currently earning a Trauma Informed Care Certification through Michigan State University to continue expanding my knowledge and provide the best care possible for every child I work with. Whether we're reading books, exploring outside, creating art, or working through big emotions together, I strive to create an environment where children feel safe, respected, and encouraged to learn. I'm also happy to assist with meal preparation, light housekeeping, homework/educational activities, and pet care so I can be a dependable, supportive presence for your entire family. On a personal note, I love being in water, quality time with my partner, singing, going to parks, and snuggles with with my kitty, Miss Araya Sunshine. One of my long-term dreams is to open a daycare centered on social-emotional learning, nervous system regulation, and helping children explore their interests and build confidence through safe, nurturing relationships. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and provide quality, nurturing care to your littles!

Allyson has been a wonderful babysitter for us. She is always cheerful, on time, and very interactive with our son. She gets down on the floor and plays with him and I always have a peace of mind when she is there. Highly recommend.

"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)."
