$19 per hour for 1 child

I am a fun and loving 22 year old TA who works with K-8th graders with special needs. I have an associates in early childhood and I am currently still in school majoring in Education. I was a toddler teacher for about 2 years prior to being a TA. I was able to get an excellent background on infants toddlers while working at that child care center! Some of the activities I like to do with children are arts and crafts, a nice walk, parks, museums, food related activities, and a good movie is always fun! I can also help tidying up the home and help with homework! I would love to babysit and even become a full time nanny in the future. I hope you guys enjoy my company if you do end up booking me :)

$17 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Irene! I’m looking to babysit for more experience in the childcare field! I have worked mostly with children with special needs and was training to be an ABA therapist. Love to work with all children! I love all animals and I’m very well acquainted with most pet care (exotic as well). I’ve been babysitting unofficially for about 9 years so I wanted to give it a more professional try!

"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)."
