Danielle $30 per hour for 1 child

Hiya! Please call me Ellie. I'm an enthusiastic nanny with flexible availability seeking a position 3-4 full days or 20-30 hours per week. I hold over 12 years of early childhood experience having worked as a teacher, nanny, mother’s helper, & house manager. Due to my knowledge of working with newborn twins/multiples, I hope to find a family to whom this specific expertise is invaluable. My goal is to make learning an engaging & interesting experience while helping guardians stay organized. Emotional support is paramount to my childcare philosophy. I have an eye for structure but no problem being silly & creating art with your active little ones! In the home, I've aided families with multiple children to provide care tailored to each of their niche needs & backgrounds. In a professional setting, I spent time as a full-time lead teacher in two different toddler classrooms as well as an afternoon activities creator in a Parks & Rec after-school program. If you would like to hear more about me, my resume, or references, please send me a message (this section has limited space!)

With a background in physical therapy and pre-nursing, I have the skills to provide personalized care tailored to each person’s needs, promoting both their independence and well-being. I’m patient, empathetic, and highly attentive to each individual’s unique needs, ensuring they receive the highest standard of care.

I believe in fostering an environment of dignity and respect, empowering patients to live their lives as fully as possible. I look forward to connecting!

“Hans was great! He’s calm and caring. He kept me updated throughout the day and called me the day before to learn more about my son. He responds in a timely manner and hand offs were seamless.”

"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)."
