Samantha $30 per hour for 1 child

My name is Samantha and I'm currently offering child and pet care services! I have been babysitting/nannying for family, friends, and professionally on and off since I was a teenager (15+ years). I have cared for children of all ages, newborn-15 years old. I am an extremely responsible and diligent individual who always puts the health and safety of the children first. But I'm also a fun, smart, and lively person who will make sure your kids are engaged and always enjoying themselves. I hope to enrich their lives in a positive way, be a good example to them, teach them and give them new experiences, and overall just make sure that they are comfortable and happy in the absence of their parents. I can also help with homework, household chores, laundry, cooking, errands, drops offs/pick-ups, after school activities, etc. I have a safe and reliable car, clean driving record, and am CPR/First Aid Certified. I also have extensive experience with dogs and cats and have grown up with pets my entire life. I can walk, feed, play, and spend time with your pets as needed. I am comfortable with all breeds and sizes (assuming that their temperament is good).

"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)."
