Michelle $38 per hour for 1 child

My name is Michelle, and I am a warm, dependable, and caring childcare professional with extensive experience in working with children and families. Currently, I am a teacher for TK kindergarden through fourth grade, and I am aware that each child is unique. I strive to create a safe, enjoyable, nurturing environment where children and parents feel comfortable, are supported, and are cared for. I’m responsible, patient, attentive, and comfortable caring for children during the day, evenings, weekends, and overnight stays. I can help with meals, bedtime routines, homework, activities, transportation, and keeping children on their regular schedules. As an overnight nanny, I provide parents with peace of mind knowing their children are safe, comfortable, and in caring hands while they are away. My goal is always to treat every child with kindness, respect, and patience while becoming someone both children and parents can trust.

Hi! I'm Vanessa. I recently completed my Early Childhood Education program and have experience working with both preschool and school-age children. I love creating a fun, safe, and caring environment where kids feel comfortable being themselves. Outside of work, I also help care for my three nephews, so being around children has always been a big part of my life. I genuinely enjoy helping kids learn, grow, and have fun!

- CPR/First Aid Certified - Love infants-older children & pets - Last minute or planned jobs! - French/other academic tutoring & sports - Happy to help with cleaning, cooking, feeding, driving, playing (inside or out), bathing I absolutely love teaching and taking care of children. I have been babysitting, caretaking, and tutoring for 15+ years and have a super flexible schedule, making it easy for parents to avoid rigid timing expectations. I have my own car and an abundance of energy to pour into your kiddos! I speak French conversationally and enjoy any academic or other learning/sports/activities you would like them to work on. Engaging in a way that they’re seen, heard, and valued is something I delight in and prioritize. I value any opportunity to serve children or parents and have worked in directing children's programs, as a nanny, and as a babysitter all throughout the years. I have experience with newborns, toddlers, and kids of all ages as I regularly take care of children.

“Maggie has been helping us out fora year and a half. She has become a wonderful friend to us and our children. We highly recommend her.”

Random fact, I am a Virgo, I’m naturally attentive, organized, patient, and detail oriented, which helps me create a safe and supportive space for the people I care for. Some of my hobbies include hiking, biking, and learning how to play the guitar. I’m also a huge family guy!

I enjoy bringing creativity into everyday activities, whether that’s through arts, music, storytelling, or fun activities. I’m very friendly, dependable, and easy to get along with. I enjoy building connections, making people feel comfortable, and being someone families can rely on. I’m also active and creative, so I enjoy keeping kids engaged through games, outdoor activities, arts, music, and helping with homework or daily routines. I have experience helping care for younger family members and assisting with household tasks such as cleaning, organizing, and maintaining a clean and welcoming space. I’m also comfortable around pets and happy to help with pet care if needed. I’d describe myself as adaptable, hardworking, trustworthy, and someone who genuinely enjoys making a positive impact on others!

"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)."
