Orah $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello, Orah there! I’m an experienced and caring childcare provider with a genuine love for working with children. I’ve been caring for children since the age of 16, initially helping family and friends with childcare, homework, tutoring, and school projects. I later spent two years as an au pair, where my responsibilities included driving children to and from school and extracurricular activities, preparing meals, providing care during parents’ date nights, and supporting their daily routines. I am CPR certified and have experience caring for children ranging from as young as 9 months old to 12 years old. I believe children bring a special kind of joy and perspective to the world. In such a busy and stressful world, I love seeing life through the innocence, curiosity, and wonder of little people’s eyes. Creating a safe, nurturing, fun, and supportive environment where children feel comfortable and cared for is always my priority. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and provide dependable, attentive, and loving care for your little ones!

Carmen $50 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Carmen, and I am a passionate, loving, energetic, and experienced professional nanny with 12 years of childcare experience! Caring for children has been so much more than a career for me since 2014. It is truly something I love and take pride in every single day! My childcare background began at Corpus Christi School in Piedmont, where I worked as the After-School Care Director and later as a Kindergarten Assistant before transitioning into full-time nannying. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for children of all ages, from newborns and infants to toddlers and school-aged children. I pride myself on creating a safe, nurturing, structured, and stimulating environment where children feel loved, supported, and encouraged to explore the world around them. I have extensive knowledge of childhood developmental milestones and enjoy incorporating age-appropriate activities that promote cognitive development, language acquisition, sensory exploration, motor skills, independence, and social-emotional growth. Beyond childcare, I understand the importance of providing families with reliability, consistency, open communication, and peace of mind. I strive to be someone parents can genuinely trust and depend on while creating a warm, positive environment for their little ones. One of the most rewarding parts of my career has been the lifelong relationships I’ve built with the families I’ve worked with. To me, nannying is so much more than simply showing up to work. It’s becoming a trusted, valued extension of a family. I still maintain close relationships with many of my previous families, and watching their children grow throughout the years has been one of my greatest joys! I am CPR certified, fully vaccinated, and have an extensive list of wonderful references who would be more than happy to share their experiences working with me. I look forward to connecting with a wonderful family and hopefully becoming a special part of your little one’s journey!

"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)."
