Katie $30 per hour for 1 child

I am a 58 years old and have raised 3 amazing daughters and am now a grandmother to a two year old with another on the way. My youngest daughter just graduated high school and will be attending college in late Aug so as an empty nester I am now free to commit to a family for child care or senior care. I have been a stay at home Mom with all 3 of my girls and have been helping with my Grandson since the day he was born. I also have experience with seniors. When both of my in-laws became sick with dementia and cancer I moved them both into my house and provided round the clock care for them for several years until they moved into hospice. I have always enjoyed being a caregiver. It comes naturally to me. I am very responsible, trustworthy and loyal and I take great pride in any work I do. I am CPR certified, have a 2025 Outback with insurance and have a clean record. **I do have allergies to cats and dogs and it can be quite severe so unfortunately I can only work in a pet free home.** Thank you for your consideration

Hi, my name is Laura. I’m from Colombia and I’m offering child care services. I have over 6 years of experience in the U.S. taking care of children from 3 months to 6 years old. In addition, I worked in a kindergarten in Colombia for about 6 months, where I cared for children between 2 months and 8 years old. I love engaging kids in all kinds of activities such as painting, coloring, dancing, singing, crafts, cooking, reading, going on walks, and exploring the world together. I can also help with laundry, light cleaning, running errands, and more. I consider myself a cheerful, energetic, responsible, and loving person, and I would be very happy to work with your family. I can provide excellent references! Thank you for reading!

"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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"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)."
