I am a trained art teacher and have taught art to up to 30 children at a time all through my life. More recently I work as an art teacher for Art Klub and Camp 504.

Ralph $16 per hour for 1 child

Hi I’m Ralph. I really enjoy working with kids and currently working at Renew Early childhood Education School as a teacher assistant. My main job is basically to assist the teacher with a smooth daily running of the class. Also taught Sunday school for over 20 years age group 4 till 12. I offer baby sitting, tutoring, cooking, errands running, cleaning and organizing services. I am a very creative individual therefore games, arts and crafts are my strength which I have found can keep children occupied for hours. I am singer and dancer which also comes in handy entertaining kids. I have been trained and certified on CPR and first aid, AED, seizures, fire fighting and prevention, Suicide prevention, anti bullying, ethics code, child interactions, child guidance, classroom management. I also have some experience in caring for the elderly as I had the opportunity to care for my grandmother for 4 years who stayed with me. Cooked and cleaned for her and helped remind her of her medication at the required times also entertained and took her for walks. I am an avid organizer I can turn any disorganized room into a tranquil, clean and organized space. Give me a try I promise you are going to love me! I am a very friendly and lovable individual, well travelled from my flight attending experience where I had to take care of unaccompanied minors.

$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.”

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).

Christopher $16 per hour for 1 child

I am a parent whom is great with children and their friends. I am personable, respectful and an excellent cook. I can clean adequately and have a very good sense of boundaries and a knack for overcoming minor issues. I have the mechanical abilities and growing skillsets to provide top tier service with a smile. My children are 17, 13, and 10 and currently live abroad. I work mornings so I have time to utilize in the evening. Empty nest syndrome is bringing me to expand my vast skills where they might prove useful. I have experience and patience with dogs, cats, fish, frogs, insects etc. I love dogs just can't have any but I offer part-time love for them. And of course not just children and pets, but grandparents and elder in-laws too. I have a perfect driving record if you need an errand run. Need your house watched or checked-in on? I have reliable transportation and truly the best customer service for any job. If I've applied for your gig it's within my skillset and I look forward to meeting :)

"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."
