Lanesa $20 per hour for 1 child

Hey everyone! My name is Lanesa. I am from a small town in the Lehigh Valley and always have had love for kids. I’m a nurturing, responsible caregiver with years of experience raising my own child and caring for others’ children for over ten years. I’m patient, creative, and reliable. I’ve worked with a wide range of children from babies to teenagers, and also have experience supporting seniors. I love creating engaging activities, maintaining a tidy household, and ensuring everyone feels safe and supported. My favorite thing to do is be a teacher for my son as he is reading at a 2nd grade level at 4 years old. Education and learn through play is most important to me all while being able to create a safe and warm environment. I hope to work with you soon!

Chelsey $25 per hour for 1 child

I am 26 year's old and have been working with kids I was 18. I have my bachelor's in Child development and I am CPR/First Aid certified. I am also working on taking newborn care specialist courses. I will be available as a full-time nanny beginning at the start of June. I am looking for something long-term and need to be paid legally (preferably through a payroll company like Home pay.) I enjoy tailoring weekly plans with the kids around a theme they are interested in when possible and love taking them on adventures/trips around the area, particularly ones that tie in worn our theme of the week. I will be getting married in Oct 2025 and am very excited. My fiancé and I have lived in since 2020 and we have 2 dogs, an almost 4-year-old Shih Tzu named Archie, and a miniature poodle we just adopted who is 6 months old and is named Willow.

"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)."
