Chloe $12 per hour for 1 child

I’ve had a job as nanny where I quickly learned what it is like to be around a child and her friends of around the ages of 8-10. I got a second job as a property manager where I had to use a lot of organization skills in order to keep record of properties and to continue order of said properties. Now I works as an art teacher, which has become my passion and I hope to get my teaching certification this summer. All in all, my skills span from strong communication and understanding of children to strong organization and determination when it comes to keeping things functioning.

Booked by 6 families in Gretna, LA

My name is Emily, and I’ve worked with children of all ages, from newborns and infants to toddlers and school-aged kids. I truly enjoy getting to know each child’s personality and creating a safe, fun, and caring environment where they can feel comfortable and be themselves. I’ve had the opportunity to work with many wonderful families over the years, whether for date nights, recurring schedules, school breaks, or occasional babysitting needs. I’m comfortable helping with meals, bedtime routines, homework, outdoor play, arts and crafts, and keeping little ones entertained throughout the day. I currently have availability this summer for date nights, occasional babysitting, and recurring care. If you’re looking for a dependable sitter, feel free to reach out. I’d love to learn more about your family and see how I can help!

“Emily was wonderful! Easy to work with, my kids loved her. We were in New Orleans on vacation and booked her for 3 nights. She took the kids swimming, out to eat, and played with them! Would definitely book again! Thanks Emily!!”

Jayden 1 review
$22 per hour for 1 child

Hello, i’m currently a senior college student at Dillard University as a Biology and Pre-Health double major. I was blessed with a younger brother and beautiful cousins which have taught me all my babysitting skills! I’ve even took care of my uncle for a couple months while he struggled with heart disease. In addition, i’ve also previously worked at summer camps that had children ranging from kindergarten through eighth grade. I’m open to caring for any age ranging from infants to elderly. I am also a huge pet lover as I hope to become a veterinarian when I graduate from college. I have a labor doodle of my own named Nala and nurture her in love. So I am more then welcome to care for pets, even familiar with reptiles as well. I am skillful in cooking, cleaning, and all the house duties. Hope to see you see you soon!

“Jayden cared for my three children—a 6-month-old, a 3-year-old, and a 5-year-old—and did an amazing job with all of them. She was dependable, professional, and incredibly patient, making sure each child received the attention and care they needed. She kept the older kids engaged with fun activities while also providing excellent care for our baby. I always felt confident leaving my children with her and would highly recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy and caring babysitter.”

"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."
