Mikenzie $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Mikenzie, I’m 23 years old and currently looking for a new nanny opportunity! I have 6 years of experience working with children, along with my Lead Teacher and CPR certifications through the State of Delaware. I have experience caring for children from newborn through school age. I have completed several years of college coursework for Early Childhood/Elementary Education, as well as continuous ECE trainings each year. For the past 4 years, I worked in an early education center as the lead teacher in the 12–18 month classroom. I transitioned back into nannying this year, which I absolutely love! I’m looking for a family that I can truly become a part of and build a strong, trusting relationship with both the children and parents. I value open communication and want parents to feel comfortable knowing their little ones are safe, happy, and well cared for. I LOVE planning crafts, sensory activities, hands-on learning, walks, playground trips, library trips, and fun days at home! I’m also happy to help with children’s meals, light tidying, children’s laundry, and other household tasks that help make the family’s day a little easier. I’m interested in full-time hours, but ideally I would love to work 3–4 longer days per week. My rate is $28-$32/hr depending on the number/ages of children and responsibilities. I’m very flexible and would love to find a schedule and rate that works well for the right family! If you or someone you know is looking for a loving, dependable nanny, please comment or message me! I’d be happy to send over my resume and chat more about what you’re looking for. 🤍

Nalo $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Nalo, and I’m currently a sophomore at North Carolina Central University studying nursing. I’m CPR certified and have several years of experience working with children of different ages. I’ve worked at Chuck E. Cheese as a party host for four years and at a daycare for a year and a half, where I’ve cared for infants and toddlers. I also babysit for families outside of work and have experience caring for multiple children at once. I truly enjoy working with kids and love keeping them entertained with games, crafts, outdoor activities, and other age-appropriate activities. I’m patient, responsible, dependable, and always make sure children are safe and comfortable while in my care. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help with light housework, cooking, and running errands when needed. I’m available for occasional and weekend babysitting and would love to connect with families looking for a reliable and caring babysitter!

Kyleigh $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kyleigh, and I have been working in childcare since I was 15 years old. Caring for children has always been something I genuinely enjoy, and I have gained experience working with kids of different ages in a variety of settings. I am currently a college student studying Psychology. During the week, I work as a Preschool Assistant at the YMCA, where I help create a safe, fun, and supportive environment for young children every day. In addition to my professional experience, I am also a proud older sister to my 10-year-old brother and 12-year-old sister. Growing up as the oldest sibling has taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of being a positive role model. I strive to be a babysitter who is dependable, caring, and engaging. Whether it’s helping with homework, planning activities, playing games, or simply making sure your children feel comfortable and cared for, I am committed to providing a safe and enjoyable experience for your family!

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
