Suzanne $14 per hour for 1 child

Hello all! My name is Suzanne, and I am a Senior Human Performance major at Howard University, Located in Northwest Washington DC. Outside the school term, I live in Kaiserslautern, Germany, and am originally from Yaounde, Cameroon. I currently offer child care, pet care, and small household services. I have experience working with children in different settings, primarily ages 5-12. Some of these include volunteering in the daycare at church during services, and during summer bible study, I was a lead counselor watching the children throughout the days. Ensuring they got to their stations on time, helping to keep them engaged, taking care of any minor problems that may have occurred, and doing small readings at my former church. I also am a former girls' youth lacrosse referee, where I would work with little athletes from ages 6-12 years old. I babysit a lot within my family; hence there are many newborns and young children. I am the eldest daughter in my family with six younger siblings, which familiarizes me with children. I love to cook, and as a former D1 athlete at Howard and a current dancer, I love staying active, getting creative, and doing outdoor activities. My other hobbies and passions include community interest, health and nutrition, travel, diversity, and food and culture. I am currently pursuing a career in being a physician Assistant specializing in maternal health. I am currently CPR, and AID certified and also speak french. My experience working with children may be limited compared to others. Still, I enjoy expanding my knowledge daily, working, playing, and learning from children is something I hope to expand on with your opportunities!

Taylor $27 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Taylor and I’m a 20 year old junior bioethics major at Howard University from Brooklyn Ny. On Long Island I worked for pierce country day camp in Roslyn ny. I was the counselor for mainly 4-5 year old girls amongst toddlers and the 1 year olds as we worked side by side. From 8am-4pm we would guide them and oversee their daily activities which ranged from arts and crafts, gymnastics, zipling, dance, tennis, basketball, lunch, snack, and outfit changes. I would often have to console them and make them laugh to distract them. I love kids especially the toddlers I have a baby sister myself and would tend to her as a child. Because of the connections I made at camp parents reached out to me to babysit even after camp had ended in high school. I hope u would consider having me. As I mentioned before I’m a student so babysitting allows flexibility to do school work.

"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)."
