Priya $22 per hour for 1 child

I have been nannying and babysitting on and off for about 6 years and really enjoy spending time with kids and helping families out. I regularly cared for two boys, ages 6 and 10, helping with their daily routines, keeping them entertained, and making sure they always felt safe and supported. I also house sat and took care of the family's chickens whenever they were out of town. For another family, I babysat their 10-year-old son as needed and also looked after their house and dog while they traveled. I'm a creative person and love finding fun ways to connect with kids. I went to school for audio engineering, and I play guitar and bass, sing, and write songs. I also enjoy arts and crafts, being outdoors, and spending time with animals, so I'm always happy to help with pets too! I'm dependable, patient, and easygoing, and I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your children. My goal is to create a fun, safe, and caring environment where kids feel comfortable being themselves. I look forward to meeting you and your family!

"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)."
