Brittany $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Brittany and I’m currently a photography/marketing/film freelance professional. My experience with children truly started around age 10 when I would babysit my nephew. I started babysitting neighborhood children around high school. I also dabbled in tutoring. As an adult, I’m frequently the activity coordinator for my (now 4 nephew’s and 2 baby cousin’s) birthday parties. This past year I had the opportunity to manage a swim school for ages 6months-12years! As the Marketing & General Store Manager - I oversaw our facility while conducting classes of up to 50 children. I was also responsible for running our swim birthday parties, with up to 100 guests. I am CPR, lifeguard, & swim instructor certified.

Hi! I’m Jacqueline, a warm, reliable, and professional nanny with over 10 years of experience working with children of all ages, from infants to teens. I currently care for an 8-year-old boy about 10 hours a week and am looking to connect with more families. In the past, I’ve supported a busy household with four children (ages 2–11), helping with after-school care, bedtime routines, and date nights. I’ve also traveled with families and am comfortable with overnights. I have my own transportation and love creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment for kids. Excellent references available!

I am a responsible, caring, and experienced babysitter with a background in caring for children from newborns to 12 years old. I am originally from Colombia, and Spanish is my first language. I am also fluent in English, which allows me to communicate easily with bilingual families. I am CPR and AED certified, so I am prepared to respond calmly and effectively in emergency situations.

"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)."
