Lilian $25 per hour for 1 child

I have worked as a Caregiver/Med Technician for seniors/memory care for 5+ years and loved it. I also have done private care for multiple clients and Nannied for a year. I have 3 younger siblings that I’ve cared for my whole life, and I was a childcare attendant for a year and a half for infants-8 year olds. I lived in China for 2 years, and while I was there I spent my time working with children of all ages, teaching them english, lots of activities, and worked alongside children with autism and terminal illnesses. I grew up assisting in the nursery-5th grade at churches 1-3x per week. I’ve babysat kids from all ages, newborn to young teens. I love the gym, time outside, old movies, and Jesus! I would be more than happy to answer any questions you have and I look forward to hearing from you!

Hello- Hi Everyone! I am older than I look and have over 20 years of experience caring for newborns through teens, 4 mo. old twins & their 3 year old sister, I have an adult son and 4 year old grandson. I am AMAZING with all babies, kids, and pets and take my job seriously yet I make learning fun, I come up with age appropriate creative things we can do together, I do housekeeping tasks without being asked once I'm comfortable and know what's what, I am flexible, and I'm attentive and adaptive to each parent and child's needs and preferences. I'm kind, caring, respectful, and I lead by example for each child. If you'd like to chat with me further, please send me a message. I'm ideally wanting full time hours but can do part-time.

Betty $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Betty. I bring a calm, warm, and dependable presence into the home and truly enjoy supporting children as they grow, learn, and feel secure. I believe in creating a loving environment where children feel safe and happy, while also maintaining gentle structure and consistency throughout the day. I hold three associate degrees in Child Development, Behavioral Science, and Communication, which give me a strong foundation in understanding how children develop and thrive. Along with my education, I have many years of hands-on experience caring for infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children, guiding them through important milestones with patience and encouragement. I have extensive experience in infant care, including feeding, diapering, and establishing healthy sleep routines. With the Austin family, I provided consistent, attentive care and helped create a peaceful, structured environment. Her parents often shared how much they appreciated my reliability, attentiveness, and the sense of trust and comfort I brought into their home. In addition to my professional experience, I teach religious education for preschool-aged children, which reflects my faith-centered values and my commitment to guiding children with kindness, respect, and purpose. I truly see each child as a gift and feel honored to support families by providing dependable, heartfelt care they can trust.

Hello my name is Dottie. I have many years of experience in the medical field. I have been a Nanny for families and truly loved it. I have been caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, school age also. My skills would include taking them to activities, meals, snacks, take/ pickup from school and activities after school sports, tumbling, swimming and more. One of my families I took their son's to Speech therapy weekly. I love to cook and have prepped meals for the family. Doing errands occasionally for the family. I would bring outdoor play, swimming, crafts, playing in the sand, bike riding, baking/ easy cooking skills to learn and more. Some of my clients have pets to be cared for daily. I have had many years caring for Seniors in the past 8-9 years. I'm available occasionally on weekends or over night so the parents have sometime alone. I would need notice to check my schedule, it's very possible. I have house sat, and cared for cats & dogs in the home. I love to teach small children to learn ABC's, and more for school as they grow and mature in fun ways. Learning can be fun. I do have reference letters, certificates for some of my occupations. Current CPR/first aid and all vaccines. With infants, newborns they will be diaper changed every 2-3 hr. as needed. Bottle feed when hungry, change clothing as needed when soiled, read stories, play.

"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)."
