Makenna $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi i’m Kenna! I am currently a science teacher for 6th grade. Previously, I worked as a 5-8th grade science teacher at a K-8 school. I am CPR and first aid certified. Additionally I have experience with 3-6 year olds as I was a lead camp counselor for 3 months over the summer. I’m new to babysitting via apps but would love to break into the mold and connect with families. I have always had a love for helping children. As a teacher, I’ve loved getting to know my students and creating meaningful bonds with them. I’m looking forward to connecting with families in which I can add my bubbly energy, eagerness to learn, compassion, and empathy.

Isabella $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Isabella, I'm 18 years old, and I'm looking for babysitting or nanny opportunities during my gap year. I have several years of babysitting experience and have also worked in preschool and summer camp settings. I enjoy spending time with kids, whether that's playing games, helping with homework, reading stories, going to the park, or just keeping them entertained and making sure they're having a good time. I'm responsible, dependable, and easy to get along with. I have a valid driver's license and can drive, although I don't currently have my own car. I'm open to both occasional babysitting and more regular nanny positions, and I'd be happy to answer any questions or chat to see if I'd be a good fit for your family.

"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."

"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)."
