I am a mother of three grown children and was a stay-at-home mom for 15 years. I miss being with children and am ready to quit the commute rat race.

Jeanette $19 per hour for 1 child

I am a grandmother type caregiver. I have my Early Childhood Education Certification. I lean towards the Montessori style of teaching. In that I enjoy allowing children lots of freedom to explore and learn how the world works through play and outdoor experiences. I enjoy lots of variety and love to share music, art, poetry, games and physical movement with children. I am affectionate and caring and endeavor to always provide a peaceful environment. When providing snacks and meals, I prefer fresh, homemade, organic (when possible) natural foods to share and teach about the abundance that our planet provides. Thank you for taking time to read about me and to contact me if you are seeking a happy, smiling caregiver for your child.

Hi families! My name is Cassidy, and I have a strong background in Early Childhood Education and hands-on experience teaching and caring for children ages 0–12. I’ve worked as a preschool teacher, creating safe, fun, and educational environments where little ones can thrive. I’m passionate about helping children grow through play, creativity, and structure while giving parents peace of mind. I am CPR/First Aid trained, patient, reliable, and nurturing. I enjoy planning age-appropriate activities—whether it’s arts and crafts, outdoor play, story time, or supporting early milestones. I also bring skills in routine management, meal prep, light household tasks, and supporting families’ unique needs. Most importantly, I truly love working with children and building strong, positive connections with both kids and parents. I’d love the opportunity to bring my teaching experience and caring personality into your home!

"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)."
