DMyria $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is D'Myria, and I'm 22 years old. I'm a dependable, caring, and hardworking person looking for a stable, consistent position as a babysitter, companion caregiver for seniors, or housekeeper. I have years of hands-on caregiving experience from helping raise my three younger siblings, which taught me patience, responsibility, and how to create a safe, supportive, and fun environment. I'm also great with older adults and enjoy being someone they can rely on for companionship, assistance with daily tasks, light housekeeping, meal preparation, errands, or simply providing company. I'm an animal lover with a miniature dachshund named Minnie and a kitten named Hi-Wei, so I'm comfortable working in homes with small pets. (At this time, I'm only willing to work around small pets.) I'm a licensed driver, but I currently don't have my own vehicle, so I use Uber for transportation. Because of that, my rate starts at $18.50 per hour, with adjustments based on job responsibilities and travel distance. I'm fun, reliable, respectful, and always willing to go the extra mile. My goal is to find a long-term opportunity where I can make a positive difference while saving for my own vehicle and apartment. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable, I'd love the opportunity to work with you. Feel free to send me a message if you think I'd be a good fit!

$20 per hour for 1 child

I am a reliable and an experienced child care provider. I have obtained an Elementary Education B.S. degree at the University of New Orleans, served as a teacher, and have a wealth of training in babysitting. I have raised four children and also have enjoyed working with all ages of children in various community events and tutoring. I am patient and motivated. I strive to help facilitate a positive environment for families. Animals are also special to me. I have a love for children and also like to play fun games to make them laugh. Please know that I can help tidy up while helping the family as a nanny or sitter, as well. :)

“Jennifer cared for my 3-year-old son on a regular basis for the past year. We were so sad when we moved out of state and had to say goodbye to her, as she truly became like a part of our family. She is caring, reliable, and goes above and beyond to give our son enriching, fun and educational experiences. She was always bringing fun to toys and projects to the house, had a great sense of playfulness and adventure and endless energy to run around the playground with our son. She was always punctual and in great spirits, and accommodated our family's busy schedule with a great attitude. More than that, she even cleaned our house and did our laundry during nap time!! She has been such a blessing to us. Any families who get to work with Jennifer are truly lucky. She is one of a kind.”

$21 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Metairie, LA

From a young age, I’ve always been surrounded by little ones — I’m a proud middle child of 11 siblings, so caring for babies and children of all ages truly comes naturally to me. Growing up in a big family taught me patience, responsibility, and how to create a calm, structured environment even on the busiest days. I have two years of professional childcare experience, in addition to a lifetime of caring for infants, toddlers, and pre-teens within my own family. I am completely comfortable caring for newborns, and I can confidently handle up to three children at a time. I am BLS, CPR, and First Aid certified, have a college degree, and I’m experienced with homework help, light cleaning, cooking kid-friendly meals, and maintaining routines. My approach is patient, warm, and nurturing, but also organized — I like to keep things running smoothly so parents come home to a peaceful environment. I enjoy planning engaging activities such as outdoor play, board games, educational games, and creative projects. I’m happy to follow your household rules and adapt to your family’s preferences. I provide clear communication, including written daily notes if you’d like, and I’m flexible with whatever method parents prefer (text updates, check-ins, etc.). I have my own car, a clean driving record, and I am comfortable with pets. Above all, my goal is to make sure your children feel safe, happy, and genuinely cared for. I would love the opportunity to support your family and become someone your children feel excited to see.

“Trinity is very friendly and sweet. She watched our baby so we can enjoy being adults. Definitely will book again. Thank you so much for your help!”

Amelia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hey all. I graduated from Tulane in May 2024, and after a year of traveling and nannying, am back in New Orleans for the forseeable future! I am super passionate about working with kids, and am looking to find awesome families to nanny for when I move back. My schedule is currently very flexible, and I am interested in both full-time and part-time work (occasional babysitting okay too. E.g. date night, sick day). I have my own transport. 
I have extensive experience (8+ years), which includes working with newborns up to age 14, children with special needs (both verbal and nonverbal), multiples (e.g. siblings with large age gaps, twins), tutoring up to grade six, and a specialty in keeping toddlers in check (success varies depending on length of nap- lol). I also create DIY "summer camps" for kids. My most recent endeavor included keeping eight five-year-olds entertained for days at a time (activities, park, pool, crafts, positive engagement). I take a play-based, screen-free approach to nannying and easily adapt my techniques based on parents' specifications and the child's needs. I believe in holding boundaries while also holding space for very real feelings (E.g., "No, we cannot get ice cream, and I know that's sad. It's okay to flop down on the ground, cry, and feel angry. Take your time, I am here.") AED and CPR (infant, child, adult) certified. I have a ton of references, from New Orleans and elsewhere, and can share the most relevant ones with you (based on age, need of child, etc).

Mara $20 per hour for 1 child

Hola, Hello, Bonjour! May name is Mara and I am a caring and creative thinker, decisive and dependable. Highly motivated, with years of experience working with children using alternative education methods, as well as operating and co-running an off-grid living community and retreat center. I speak Spanish, French and English. I have worked for an environmental education program teaching Earth science to fourth, fifth, and seventh graders in an outdoor classroom, been a counselor at numerous summer art camps and programs, worked as a substitute kindergarten teacher at a Waldorf school, worked at an after-care program at an elementary French immersion school, and offered childcare services since she was 16 years old for infants, toddlers and kids. I am also able to offer pet care (having had experience on the pet care app, Rover), and have extensive experience performing housekeeping duties. I love to cook and can also run errands. I have my own car and can do pick-ups and drop-offs.

"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."
