Virginia $15 per hour for 1 child

My name is Virginia Martinez. I’m offering child care and senior care. I raised two children. I did a lot of babysitting as a teen and I was a special education substitute teacher for about 6 years. I also took care of my aging parents when they were ill. I can read to your parents or walk with them so they can get their steps in! I can also take them to their doctor’s appointment or grocery shopping. I can cook, do light cleaning, run errands, help with homework, take kids to sports practice, and take seniors to doctor’s appointments. I have cats so I don’t mind fur on my clothes!

Linda $25 per hour for 1 child

About Linda P. EDIT I have always enjoyed working with children. I started babysitting in junior high and by the time I was in high school I had an afternoon job at a local day care center. I went on to get my teaching degree in Elementary Education and taught five years of third grade and a year of kindergarten. After having three children of my own and taking some time off I went back to teaching but decided to try preschool instead and ended up teaching 8 years of it. After teaching elementary I was surprised at how much I loved working with the little ones. I was the lead teacher for a 3 and 4 year old class for 5 years and my last three years I taught a 5 day a week k-4 position. Over the last 10 years I’ve been doing part-time /full time Nanny jobs. I have worked for over 18 families and have taken care of over 41 children ranging from newborn to 12 years olds. I have enjoyed using my teaching skills and early childhood training to create a loving , nurturing, fun and safe environment for each child I take care of. I appreciate all the opportunities I have had to work with such wonderful parents and their amazing children.

Lhora Brown $20 per hour for 1 child

I have told that I'm really good with kids. I just love being with kids, either working or playing with them. I came from a big family. Taking care people, especially with kids, comes naturally. I used to babysit for my aunts. I am experienced in cooking, cleaning, doing grocery, and other household chores. Although, I am not familiar with infant care, you can trust me in taking care toddlers and older kids. I love doing activities, arts and crafts and even help them with their homeworks if needed. I am currently working in a doctor's office as a medical assistant. I am offering service after work, which is after 5pm until midnight on the weekdays and any time on the weekends.

Maryam $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi, My name is Maryam, I'm 19 years old and I'm currently in college for biomedical science. Growing up with my mom owning a daycare for ten years taught me invaluable lessons in creating a nurturing environment for children. Patience, empathy, and providing a safe space were central to my upbringing. I've also had the joy of babysitting my 11 nieces and nephews, each teaching me unique aspects of caregiving. From managing diverse personalities to understanding individual needs, I've cultivated a deep appreciation for fostering growth in a loving environment. My caregiving extends to various ages and needs, including children, seniors, and pets. I prioritize kindness, respect, and personalized care tailored to each person's preferences. In addition to caregiving, I excel in household management and essential services, ensuring both practical needs and emotional support are met in a tidy and comfortable environment. Overall, my journey as a caregiver is characterized by genuine warmth, patience, and a commitment to creating supportive environments. These qualities, coupled with diverse caregiving experiences, empower me to positively impact the lives of those I care for.

"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)."
