Kymberlee $26 per hour for 1 child

I would love the opportunity to support your family as a sitter or nanny. I bring over 11 years of caregiving experience, including running my own adult family home, working as a CNA, and providing child care in daycare and private home settings. These roles have strengthened my patience, responsibility, and ability to meet both emotional and practical needs with care and consistency. As a caregiver, I understand the importance of creating a safe, structured, and nurturing environment where children feel secure and encouraged to grow. I enjoy planning engaging activities, supporting routines, and building trusting relationships with both children and parents. Families I’ve worked with value my reliability, calm presence, and genuine dedication to the well-being of those in my care. I would be happy to bring that same level of commitment and compassion to your family. Please let me know if we can set up a time to connect—I’d love to learn more about your needs and how I can help support your child’s development and daily care. Warmly, Kymberlee

"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)."
