Alyssa $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Alyssa, I love kids and animals, and am a mother to two beautiful kids, and one handsome cat. I understand how difficult it is to coordinate schedules and find care for the ones who need us most; you need something that not only fits your budget, but also care that meets the level of attentiveness and thoughtfulness that your kids and fur-babies deserve! If you are not happy with public childcare or kennels with large class sizes (or, for those utilizing animal care, cages; ew) and the hefty price for subpar conditions, I get it! You want care that feels like home, feels like family, and takes into consideration the enrichment aspect of your loved one's day. I strive to encourage a growth mindset, connect with nature/get sunshine and fresh air, establish healthy habits, and promote critical thinking in children. For pets, I lead with a warm disposition and exercise gentle yet firm assertiveness where necessary, and genuinely enjoy hanging out with animals; most experience with dogs and cats, but am open to other animals with detailed directions. I am punctual, personable, and remain flexible and graceful under changing conditions. I am a good choice for those who need last-minute care, care during vacations or emergencies, care that fills the gaps between work and school (including transportation), or care on an occasional/semi-regular basis. I do strive to incorporate ways to provide enrichment, learning, and engaging activities as someone who personally has seen and benefited from allowing my own kids to participate in classes, co-ops, and homeschooling. As someone who also felt the same growing pains through motherhood of coordinating schedules, finances, and proper nurturing for my loved ones, I want to be a solution for other families who face the same pressures.

Zakhona $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Zakhona and I’m originally from South Africa. I’ve always had a natural love for kids. I started caring for my younger cousins when I was the oldest grandchild at home, and that’s where my passion began. In 2022, I started working with families outside my own and have cared for children of different ages since then. I’m currently an au pair, taking care of a baby I’ve been with since she was 6 months old. I handle everything from feeding and naps to playtime and fun activities that support her development. I love doing outdoor walks, dancing, reading stories, and getting creative with crafts or sensory play. I’m also happy to help with tidying up after play. I’m warm, patient, and dependable and I treat every child as if they were my own little sibling. I’d love to bring my care and experience to your home and support your family!

"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)."
