Experienced Preschool Teacher | CPR & First Aid Certified | 10+ Years of Childcare Experience Hi! I'm Priscilla, and I'd love the opportunity to care for your little ones! I have over 10 years of experience caring for children from infants to 12 years old, including working as a preschool teacher and an afterschool teacher. My experience has taught me how to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and excited to learn. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, dependable, patient, and genuinely love working with kids. Whether we're reading stories, making crafts, playing outside, helping with homework, or following a bedtime routine, I strive to make every child feel happy, engaged, and cared for. I understand how important it is for parents to know their children are in good hands, so I always communicate openly and treat every family with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I'm currently continuing my education in child development because I'm passionate about growing my career in early childhood education. Working with children isn't just a job to me—it's something I truly enjoy. If you're looking for someone experienced, reliable, and caring who will keep your child safe while making their day fun and enriching, I'd love to connect with you. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a phone or FaceTime call. I look forward to meeting your family!

Hello, my name is Brittany, and I offer dependable childcare, senior care, pet sitting, and household support services, including home organization, errands, on-call childcare, and household management. I have over 20 years of experience as a babysitter and nanny caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged children, including experience with two sets of twins. My responsibilities have included school pick-ups and drop-offs, tutoring, crafts and activities, overnight childcare, and newborn night nanny care. In addition to childcare, I also provide household and personal assistant services, such as light cleaning, appointment management, organization, and running errands to help busy families maintain a well-managed home. I am an experienced pet sitter and truly enjoy caring for both cats and dogs. I have provided reliable pet care services for many families over the past 20 years. References for all services are available upon request.

My kids had a great time with Brittany while my husband and I went to a play this past Friday night. Brittany arrived on time and was very friendly and professional with my kids, my husband and I, and even our dog! She wrote down directions and followed them as asked. She had great communication with us as well. We would highly recommend her as a sitter!

My goal as a Nanny is to have the children's best interest in mind, make sure the children are safe, clean and having fun while also learning. I'm a nanny who full of energy, creative and can organise activities, arts and crafts and educational activities etc. but I would love to follow your instruction as well. I also can do a lot of duties and take care of all things related to the baby, including diaper change, food prep, play time, naps, baby clothes laundry and take the baby out on walks etc. Not only am I patient, caring and nurturing, I am also extremely organized and very detailed when it comes to work. I'm pet friendly and have the flexibility to work and can do extra hour if you need help. I have a lot of family who can be my references, I can also provide it to you upon request. Please feel free to talk to me. I'd love to meet your family and get to know your baby. Thank you for your time. I look forward to talking to you! :) Sincerely yours, Jane

Jane has been coming 3 times a week for a couple of weeks now to take care of our daughter and also help out in a few home chores. She is really very good at taking care of my daughter. In fact my daughter listens to her and enjoys playing with her. She is very clean and always cleans up areas once they are done playing and eating etc. she is always on time which I really appreciate. It has been great to work with her and I would highly recommend her.

"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)."
