Andie $20 per hour for 1 child

I have a deep passion for working with children and believe it's crucial to provide a safe and nurturing space where they can play, create, and have fun. My journey in childcare began at 17 when I started babysitting three energetic boys, and it sparked a love that has only grown over the years. With fiveyears of experience as a childcare provider, I’ve found immense joy in these roles—it's never felt like work to me. In 2023, I graduated from the SBCC Culinary Arts Academy, allowing me to offer nutritious meals and engage kids in fun, safe kitchen activities. I have a valid driver’s license and my own car, so I can easily provide transportation when needed. Additionally, I have extensive experience in house sitting, pet sitting and caring for animals with special needs. I’m also a great cleaner and organizer, so I’m happy to help with any household tasks if needed. I look forward to creating a positive and enriching environment for your children!

Cecilia $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ceci, and I’m excited to offer both childcare and pet sitting. I’ve been caring for children for a little over four years, supporting families with little ones ranging from 8 weeks to 5 years old. I approach each child with patience, warmth, and curiosity, creating a calm and nurturing space where they can feel safe, confident, and free to explore. I value clear communication with parents and work to understand each child’s unique needs, routines, and personality. Whether I’m soothing an infant, engaging a curious toddler, or caring for your pets with the same gentle attention, my goal is always to provide comfort, reliability, and genuine care. I look forward to getting to know your family and helping in any way I can.

"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."

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)."
