Tenia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Tenia, I'm 19 years old and originally from Frederick, Maryland. I currently attend a private university in New York, where I'm pursuing a double major in Psychology and Business. I also play on the lacrosse team at my university. In my free time, I love babysitting it's something I love doing and have been doing for several years. I have 6 years of paid experience, primarily from caring for my nieces and nephew (ages 9, 5, and 2), and I've worked with children ranging from newborns to 15 years old. I'm comfortable with routines, meal prep, light housework, and keeping kids active and engaged. A few things about me: I love spending time outdoors, staying active, and learning new things. I'm responsible, patient, and genuinely enjoy helping families. I'm currently available for the summer and would love the opportunity to support a family in need of a caring, dependable babysitter. Thank you for reading I look forward to meeting you all!

$28 per hour for 1 child

I’m a dependable, patient, and lively nanny with more than five years of experience working with families, and I’ve always loved being around kids. I focus on making sure children have fun, are well-structured, safe, supported, and encouraged to grow. I believe in being competent, consistent, setting age-appropriate limits, being creative, and playing. I stay calm when things get hectic, manage busy schedules, and build strong connections with both children and parents. My time with over 30 animal rescues and fostering more than 300 dogs has really honed my patience, attention to detail, and ability to handle energetic situations.

I can highly reccommend Alexa for nannying, babysitting and pet sitting. Alexa was my babysitter for my daughter for over a year. She was always on time, thoughtful with activities and mindful of my needs for my daughter. She always made herself available, even on short notice. She was my daughter’s favorite babysitter and we were so sad to lose her when a move separated us. She also took care of my senior dog anytime I needed her. My dog adored Alexa and was always thrilled to go to her home. She was always loved and well taken care of, not to mentioned spoiled rotten!

"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)."
