Maleigha $25 per hour for 1 child

I’m a caring and dependable nanny with a lot of real-life experience. I helped raise my younger brother, so I’m very comfortable with daily routines, keeping kids entertained, and creating a safe, loving environment. I also worked for a nanny agency in 2019, where I looked after kids of different ages and helped families with whatever they needed day-to-day. I grew up super athletic and stayed active as a young adult, so I love getting kids moving—playing outside, doing simple sports, or just finding fun ways to burn energy. Overall, I’m easygoing, reliable, and I genuinely enjoy being around kids and making them feel comfortable and cared for.

"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)."
