I'm a warm, fun-loving, and enthusiastic nanny with over 10 years of experience caring for children from newborns (including preemies) through school age. Ive had the privilege of working with multiple families, which has given me a deep understanding of child development, patience, compassion and the importance of creating a safe nurturing environment. As the oldest of three, caring for others has always come naturally to me. I truly love all aspects of childcare -- from hands-on playtime and mealtimes to outdoor adventures and supporting them through age appropriate milestones. I strive to create a positive, engaging and loving experience for every child in my care. Im happy to provide references upon request and am also very comfortable with family pets.

Casie 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

I’m a career Nanny and Newborn Care Specialist who loves working with children and truly enjoys being able to help and watch them grow. I have tutoring experience alongside nanny experience and have a college degree. I'm responsible, reliable, energetic and caring. Please let me know if you have any questions.

I’m not even sure how to start a review of Casie because she has truly been everything to us. We found her through a nanny site 3 years ago as we were trying to find someone we could feel comfortable with doing periodic date nights out for us. We have 2 kids (now 7 and 5) who hadn’t been cared for by anyone else so we were apprehensive. Casie made us feel so comfortable right from the start. She was energetic, and interactive with the kids from the very beginning. After having her do once in a while date nights for us for a few months, we knew we needed her involved more with our family. We were able to have her come help us full time. Our youngest needed more one on one attention and wasn’t doing well in the daycare environment so we pulled him out of school to be home full time with Casie. She always came in with ideas of how to help and guide him and built in education into his schedule so he didn’t fall behind in anything in learning and development. She had a standard schedule (but was always very flexible in changes), and really established a routine with him. We gave her full access to everything in our house, with the kids and our lives. She had my credit card for purchases and a key to our house. She is always one step ahead of us to keep our household organized and together. Casie was with us now full time for about a year and a half and part time for about 6 months as well. Her move to California was the only reason she is not with us anymore. Otherwise I would have loved to have her forever. She has truly become part of our family. She is incredibly kind, diligent, trustworthy, takes our kids on adventures, cares for them as her own and has worked with me and my husband as a team. She truly does it all and is patient along the way. You could not find a better person to do this along with your family. She is truly one of a kind.

Rachelle 2 reviews
$21 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Rachelle! I offer dependable, engaging childcare and pet care with a strong mix of personal and professional experience. I’ve cared for children of all ages, including hands-on experience with my 11 nieces and nephews (ages 1–15). I currently provide ongoing care for a 13-year-old, including overnight stays when needed, so I’m comfortable with both daytime routines and nighttime responsibilities. My background includes a Bachelor’s in Business Administration and a Master’s in Criminal Justice focused on juvenile development, along with 14 years of service in the U.S. Navy. This has shaped my reliability, structure, and ability to connect with and mentor kids of all ages. I also have training through therapy school, which helps me communicate effectively with children and adolescents. I love incorporating creativity, sports, and music into my time with kids. I grew up playing trumpet, baseball, and softball, and enjoy keeping children active and engaged. In addition to childcare, I have over 25 years of experience caring for pets, including administering medication and supporting animals with special needs. I’m happy to help with occasional or part-time care, including overnights, and always aim to create a safe, supportive, and fun environment for your family.

After being on UrbanSitter and scouring thru profiles and messaging with several care providers - Rachelle stood out among the pack. Her bio was comprehensive and her experience won me over immediately. Experience in the military with focus on leadership, experience with kids and nephews and nieces, and an obvious passion to make a positive impact. When my whole family met Rachelle for an interview to see if it was the right fit - Rachelle nailed that interaction just by being herself. We hired Rachelle multiple times when needing help with Jase while we traveled. She was prompt, amazing with Jase, and always a delight to work with. Jase always had positive reviews about Rachelle during and after interactions with her. I would recommend Rachelle to other parents. Jase was a teen when we brought Rachelle in - and we couldn’t have been happier!

Hi Im Kaitlin! Im a local nanny with 12 years of experience. I am originally from Ojai, CA, where I grew up on a farm and was homeschool through out high school. I have a background in child development, 3 years of daycare experience, and have worked with newborns, toddlers, twins, and children with special needs.

I love nanny positions that allow for adventures, outings, and hands-on learning, and I often work as an adventure nanny, especially during the summer. I’m also great with animals and happy to assist with pet sitting & care. I’m dependable, nurturing, and passionate about creating a safe, enriching environment for children to thrive.

Kaitlyn watched my son when he was 3-5 months old and she was fabulous. She took him on adventures and I knew he was always well cared for.

"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."

"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)."
