Carolina $20 per hour for 1 child

I am a college student currently working toward my CNA certification and I am CPR and BLS certified. I have experience working with children, including kids with special needs, and I truly love creating a safe, supportive, and fun environment for them. My goal as I continue in nursing is to work with infants, but I am happy caring for children of all ages. I enjoy helping with homework, doing art and creative activities, and even baking with kids if parents are comfortable with that. With toddlers, I like to introduce simple ASL signs to help them communicate their needs and feelings more easily. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive, and I always focus on making children feel safe, heard, and cared for. I am also comfortable caring for pets as long as they are not aggressive, and I’m open to helping with house sitting and light household tasks when needed.

Hayden $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Hayden, and I'm a creative and emotionally attuned caregiver with a deep love for helping children grow, express themselves, and feel safe being who they are. I have 5 years of experience caring for children of all ages - from toddlers to preteens - and I take an intentional approach that blends art, psychology, and mindful communication. I love helping kids express themselves through creativity, whether that's painting, storytelling, music, outdoor play, or reflective activities that support emotional awareness and self- esteem. My personal background in psychology and communication has changed my outlook and direction in life. I am a passionate autodidact, some of my favorite writers are Carl Yung and Joe Dispenza. It now helps me understand and connect with each child's unique personality and needs. Families and organizations have described me as grounded, dependable, and intuitive - someone who brings both warmth and structure into any environment. In addition to childcare, I'm happy to assist with household support, errands, school drop-off, pick-ups, sport events, homework. I'd love to provide exercises and activities to stimulate personal growth and healing. Understanding who you are, and what you are passionate about is a core structure that builds your foundation of reality in childhood. I take pride in creating an uplifting, balanced environment where children feel seen, safe, and inspired to grow. I'm looking for a family that wants a long-term teammate to assist in their children's growth. In addition to traditional childcare, I have traveled through to volunteer all throughout high school in the lowest income areas of our country to provide daycare for families who cannot afford this luxury. Everyday, my co-leader and I would lead a group of 10-15 children for eight hours through different activities and meals. I was working in the sector that emphasized creativity/art. Each activity was curated with structure, while allowing the children freedom to express themselves creatively. I have spent the last 3 years in the service industry, and I recognize it does not hold the passion and purpose that I feel called to do. It has helped me learn about myself and those around me, as I have had the pleasure of meeting thousands of different people. I recognize that it was lacking the empathy and emotional growth I am looking for. Nannying is the direction I've been guided towards to be aligned with my authentic self and purpose

"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)."
