I am a dedicated and patient nanny with over four years of experience caring for infants and young children. I encourage imaginative, age-appropriate, and independent play while prioritizing each child’s emotional and physical well-being. I have experience with sleep training, potty training, daily routines, bath and bedtime, and supporting developmental milestones such as crawling and walking. I am organized, reliable, and respectful of parents’ rules and preferences. As a native Spanish speaker, I also provide bilingual activities through reading, singing, and play, helping children grow with confidence in a nurturing and structured environment.

Lucy $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Lucy, I am 29 years old and from the Dominican Republic. I currently need a part-time job in the mornings. I have a lot of experience with children since I am the oldest among my siblings and have cared for them all like a mother since I was little. In my country, it is common to know how to care for a child of any age and feel comfortable doing it. It goes without saying that I love children and it would be a pleasure to take care of yours.

Makenna $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi i’m Kenna! I am currently a science teacher for 6th grade. Previously, I worked as a 5-8th grade science teacher at a K-8 school. I am CPR and first aid certified. Additionally I have experience with 3-6 year olds as I was a lead camp counselor for 3 months over the summer. I’m new to babysitting via apps but would love to break into the mold and connect with families. I have always had a love for helping children. As a teacher, I’ve loved getting to know my students and creating meaningful bonds with them. I’m looking forward to connecting with families in which I can add my bubbly energy, eagerness to learn, compassion, and empathy.

Muluken $30 per hour for 1 child

My name is Muluken Andarge, and I am a caring, dependable, and responsible childcare provider with more than 20 years of experience as a mother, along with hands-on experience in babysitting, childcare, family assistance, household support, and driving. As a mother, I understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can trust with their children. I am patient, nurturing, attentive, and committed to creating a safe, positive, and comfortable environment where children feel cared for and supported. In addition to childcare, I am happy to help families with school drop-offs and pick-ups, driving children to activities and appointments, light household tasks, meal preparation, errands, and other day-to-day family needs. I enjoy working with children and supporting busy families. I treat every child with kindness, patience, and respect, and I take my responsibilities seriously. I would be grateful for the opportunity to meet your family and discuss how my experience can support your childcare needs. Muluken Andarge

"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)."
