Ayotomiwa $20 per hour for 1 child

I’m a qualified caregiver that has worked with 5 seniors and 6 children. I also have nephews that I have watched while their parents work or need a night out. I would usually not watch a place look unkept or untidy so mostly I’m always putting things in place whether asked to or not. I have transportation and I always keep to time. I understand parents sometimes might run late and communication is all I need to make it easier for both the parents and I. I’m in school studying accounting so I can always help the kids with their homework or read to them. I can cook and can come with cleaning equipments when requested. I enjoy talking to kids cause they see the world differently and it’s a good way to make them talk about things that happen to them in school. I play tennis and enjoy watching people Play other sports.

“I highly recommend Miss Louise! As a single dad of three young children, finding someone I can trust to care for my kids is incredibly important. Miss Louise was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. She was very thorough, asked thoughtful questions to make sure she understood the kids’ needs and routines, and was warm and engaging with all three of them. She went above and beyond, even preparing a delicious French toast breakfast for the kids before helping them get ready for school and walking the older two to the bus. I really appreciated her attention to detail, genuine care, and willingness to make our morning run smoothly. It’s clear that Miss Louise takes great pride in what she does. I felt completely comfortable leaving my children in her care, and they really enjoyed their time with her. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to other parents, especially single dads looking for someone dependable, caring, and experienced!”

"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)."
