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

Jessica $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a caring, dependable, and patient caregiver with a background in Early Childhood Education and a passion for helping children learn, grow, and thrive. I’m currently studying to become a Speech-Language Pathologist, which has deepened my understanding of child development, communication, and supporting each child's unique needs. I have experience working in preschools, as a substitute teacher, and caring for children in a variety of childcare settings. I’ve worked with infants, toddlers, school-aged children, and children with special needs, and I love creating nurturing environments where every child feels safe, supported, and encouraged. I’m certified in Infant and Child CPR, and your child’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I’m experienced with infant care, diaper changes, bottle feeding, nap and bedtime routines, potty training, homework help, arts and crafts, reading, outdoor play, meal prep, and maintaining consistent daily routines. Thanks to my background in education, I enjoy incorporating fun, age-appropriate learning activities into everyday play while following each family's parenting style and routines. Families describe me as reliable, calm, patient, and easy to communicate with. I believe in building strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents through consistency, kindness, and open communication. My goal is to help children feel confident, happy, and cared for while giving parents complete peace of mind. Whether you're looking for an occasional babysitter, after-school care, or a full-time or part-time nanny, I'd love the opportunity to support your family. I look forward to meeting you and providing the compassionate, dependable care your family deserves!

"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)."
