Jennifer $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a dedicated and highly resilient individual with significant experience managing complex family responsibilities. As a mother of two and a long-term primary caregiver to my own mother since childhood, I have cultivated exceptional skills in time management, resource allocation, empathy, and crisis resolution. Following my mother's passing, I am now eager to apply these honed organizational and management skills toward supporting the goals of a professional organization. My background demonstrates a powerful capacity for commitment, multitasking, and problem-solving under pressure, making me a highly organized and compassionate addition to any team.5️⃣6️⃣2️⃣▫️2️⃣4️⃣6️⃣▫️7️⃣5️⃣5️⃣2️⃣

I am passionate about fostering a safe, fun and educational environment through engaging activities. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Karen $15 per hour for 1 child

The reason why my rates are so low compared to other is because I know the struggle of needing childcare and having no support . I work with kids on the spectrum supporting children from 5-12 years old with behaviors. I have experience with ages ranging from newborn - 12 years old . I am a big listener when it comes to parents expectations of a nanny to their children . My goal is that you feel comfortable leaving your children with me knowing that they are being taken care of the way you would want them to be. The downside about me is that I’m allergic to dogs and cats :( Contact[removed]427

"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."

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)."
