Afua $23 per hour for 1 child

Hello!! My name is Afua! and I’ve been working with children for over five years. I absolutely love helping kids learn, grow, and have fun in a safe and caring environment. I currently work as a hospital technician, so I’m medically trained and confident handling any health or safety concerns that may come up. I have experience caring for children with autism as well as older adults with dementia and other cognitive challenges, so I’m patient, understanding, and attentive to individual needs. At my church, I serve as a toddler coordinator, where I plan and lead activities that keep little ones engaged and excited to learn, which means I’m great at organizing fun, creative ways to spend time with kids of all ages. I’m also very active and love staying on the move, whether that’s playing outside, doing crafts, or keeping up with energetic toddlers. My goal is to make sure your children feel happy, supported, and safe while having a great time. Your kids will be in caring and capable hands with me, and I’m always happy to answer any questions you have!

Kristen $19 per hour for 1 child

I received my bachelors from VCU in the Fine Arts. I then pursued a career path in child care and received a working visa in Australia and New Zealand and worked as an AuPair and various customer service roles in both countries. After returning back to the USA I worked in health foods/supplements for a few years and traveled around the US to see my own country. I greatly appreciate helping people live healthy lives and meeting their needs where and when I can. I've been helping neighbors a lot this year in my area with cat sitting, house sitting, child care and senior care so I'm interested in getting to know more neighbors in my community and lend a helping hand.

Sophia $24 per hour for 1 child

I’m a dependable, nurturing caregiver with experience supporting children of all ages, including infants, toddlers, school-aged children, and children on the autism spectrum. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and pride myself on creating a safe, structured, and positive environment where children can grow, learn, and have fun. I bring a calm, patient, and attentive approach to caregiving, while also keeping kids engaged through age-appropriate activities, outdoor play, reading, crafts, and learning-focused routines. I strongly value communication and teamwork with parents to ensure we’re always on the same page regarding expectations, schedules, and developmental goals. In addition to childcare, I’m comfortable assisting with light housekeeping, meal prep, errands, homework help, and daily routines. I’m also experienced with pets and household support, making me a well-rounded and reliable help for busy families. Above all, I genuinely love caring for others and take pride in being someone families can trust, rely on, and feel confident leaving their loved ones with.

"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)."
