Hello.. Taking care of others is my passion. I am a semi retired grandmother looking to lend a helping hand. I worked my dream job as an innkeeper at a 8 room bed n breakfast in Newport Rhode Island. The owner sold the business and I moved back to Iowa to take care of my aging mother .

Sophia $17 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I am currently a senior at Norwalk High-school and I am enrolled in many classes at DMACC. I plan to major in early childhood education, potentially special education. I’ve worked at daycares for about 2 years now, and I love every minute of it. I believe it is so important that we make every child feel that they are loved and that they matter. I work with ages ranging from 3months to 10yrs, I also work in special education often. I love every minute of it and just being able to make kids feel safe in the time that they aren’t with there parents or caretakers. A normal day for me includes preparing snacks, helping with homework, playing outside with older kids, being down on the ground with babies, changing diapers, cleaning, preparing food(whether that be food or a bottle), organizing activities and so much more. I also have grown up with pets and am a really big animal lover and would be willing to pet sit as well.😊

I love taking care of kids and I am excited to care for more. I helped run a Sunday school program for toddler-age children to elementary age kids for two years. For the past two years, I have been one of the leaders for a youth program for middle school and high school children. I have run a few other programs for elementary to high school students with good success. I have also done a few other caregiving opportunities for neighbors both with pets and children.

"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

"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)."
