$16 per hour for 1 child

Hi!! I worked at the James J Eagan center’s summer camp for two years while in high school. Me and my co-counselor were responsible for up to 30 kids daily. We planned activities for them daily, and made sure that they stayed safe daily. I believe that my approach is a strength of mine when it comes to caring for children. I enjoy singing, dancing, playing games, reading, and movies, and I am more than happy to engage with a child’s personal interests. I am willing to obtain a CPR certification if necessary!

$23 per hour for 1 child

Nurturing young minds is my passion. For the past three years, I've dedicated myself to providing attentive care for children, and I find immense joy in fostering their growth. I hold a college degree and maintain current certifications in CPR and First Aid. My approach is patient, calm, creative, and friendly. I enjoy playing board games, puzzles, and educational games. I'm comfortable caring for one child at a time. I prioritize open communication with parents, adapting to your preferred method for daily updates or addressing any concerns. I also follow your lead on household rules. Knowing I can positively impact a child's life and support your family brings me fulfillment. I hope to bring that same peace of mind to your family!

Aubree Saint Charles
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Aubree! 👋 I’m 18 years old and currently in real estate school, but I’ve always had a passion for caring for kids. I’ve been babysitting since I was 13 and have plenty of hands-on experience with infants, toddlers, and children under 9. I’m also very involved in my younger siblings’ lives, so I understand the importance of patience, structure, and fun when it comes to childcare! I’m happy to help with light cleaning, running errands, and keeping your home tidy while caring for your little ones. I’m also comfortable with all kinds of animals, so pets are no problem! Families can count on me to be reliable, responsible, and fully engaged with their kids — whether that’s playing games, helping with routines, or just making sure everyone feels safe and happy. I have 2 current nanny family's but unfortunately I'm moving so I'm in search for a new family to care for!

"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)."
