Alexis $28 per hour for 1 child

I have several years of experience working with children, including 3 years working at a preschool with children ages 1–4, as well as experience babysitting. Through my work, I’ve gained hands-on experience with daily routines, playtime, meals, nap time, potty training, and helping children learn and develop in a safe and nurturing environment. I’m patient, caring, responsible, and dependable. I understand that every child is different, so I always try to create a comfortable environment where they feel heard, supported, and encouraged. I’m also very hands-on and enjoy coming up with fun activities, crafts, games, and age-appropriate ways to keep children engaged. I’m comfortable helping with everyday household tasks related to childcare as well, such as preparing simple meals, cleaning up after activities, and keeping play areas organized. My experience working in a preschool has taught me how to stay calm, attentive, and organized while caring for multiple children, and I genuinely love being around kids and watching them grow.

Teya $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Teya, and I’ve been working with children 6 years. I’ve cared for children from infancy through age 12, including 3 years of experience working directly with children from infancy through age 4. I especially enjoy working with infants and toddlers and love creating a calm, engaging environment where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to explore. I enjoy reading books, singing songs, getting on the floor to play, spending time outside, and creating age-appropriate activities that support their development. I also like giving children opportunities to explore independently, practice new skills, and learn through hands-on activities and everyday routines. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and currently taking child development courses to continue growing as an early childhood professional. I’m experienced with diaper changes, bottle feeding, meal and snack prep, potty training support, nap routines, and caring for groups of children. I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and communicative, and I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and provide loving, reliable care for your little one(s).

"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)."
