Lisa $35 per hour for 1 child

I’m an experienced nanny, Family Assistant, parenting educator, and published children’s author with a genuine love for children and families. I’m also the mom of two grown sons whom I homeschooled through 10th grade. I’ve worked professionally with private families since 2017, caring for children from infancy through school age, including neurodivergent children. I’m warm, playful, calm, dependable, and emotionally attuned, with a particular passion for helping children build confidence, independence, and emotional regulation skills. I also genuinely enjoy the household side of family support—healthy meal prep, laundry, errands, organization, transportation, household resets, and creating systems that make family life easier. I’m comfortable with pets, love being active and outdoors, and bring a mature, grounded presence along with plenty of energy and fun. Before working with private families, I spent 28 years with Nordstrom in leadership, training, and operations. I’m CPR/First Aid certified and would love to find families who value warm, reliable, proactive care.

Betty $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Betty. I bring a calm, warm, and dependable presence into the home and truly enjoy supporting children as they grow, learn, and feel secure. I believe in creating a loving environment where children feel safe and happy, while also maintaining gentle structure and consistency throughout the day. I hold three associate degrees in Child Development, Behavioral Science, and Communication, which give me a strong foundation in understanding how children develop and thrive. Along with my education, I have many years of hands-on experience caring for infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children, guiding them through important milestones with patience and encouragement. I have extensive experience in infant care, including feeding, diapering, and establishing healthy sleep routines. With the Austin family, I provided consistent, attentive care and helped create a peaceful, structured environment. Her parents often shared how much they appreciated my reliability, attentiveness, and the sense of trust and comfort I brought into their home. In addition to my professional experience, I teach religious education for preschool-aged children, which reflects my faith-centered values and my commitment to guiding children with kindness, respect, and purpose. I truly see each child as a gift and feel honored to support families by providing dependable, heartfelt care they can trust.

"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)."
