I was also a teacher's aide for English for 7th graders. I taught a week of poetry to grade school children, corrected papers, and helped the teacher. I taught art in Montessori schools for groups up to 14 children ranging in ages from 3-8 years old. I also worked for a daycare and watched up to 5 babies at one time while maintaining their feeding and diapering schedules and reading to them. I supervised up to 8 toddlers at a time and made sure they were entertained, fed and diapered at appropriate times. I also watched up to 10 five year olds at a time and we all had a ton of fun while playing and learning together! I have also cared for twins together! I clean bottles, change diapers, bathe and dress children, take children to the park and to activities as well as supervise play dates. I do household management duties such as car rental, oil changes, scheduling a plumber and letting him know the issue. I organize parties. I do grocery shopping and light housekeeping. I cook. I run errands. I communicate well with parents about their children’s daily growth. I have tons of fun nannying and the parents and children are pleased as well! I have a driver's license and a car. I am a great driver who is safe! I am vaccinated and boosted against covid. I also have TDAP and flu vaccines. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I love pets!

Ashton $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi parents! I’m Ashton, the oldest of seven, so caregiving has always come naturally to me. Growing up, I was the built-in “little parent,” and that early experience sparked my passion for working with children. I’m currently completing my undergraduate degree in Human Development and Learning and preparing to begin my path toward becoming an Occupational Therapist. I also work as a paraprofessional at Easterseals, where I support children with ASD, IDD, and a wide range of developmental needs. This role has strengthened my patience, creativity, and ability to adapt to each child’s unique communication and learning style. Outside of school and work, I’ve spent years providing babysitting and dog-sitting for families, neighbors, and of course my own siblings. Whether it’s helping with routines, engaging in sensory-friendly play, or simply creating a safe and fun environment, I truly enjoy being part of a child’s day. I love games, dance parties, karaoke, arts & crafts, and tackling big puzzles, anything that helps kids explore, grow, and have fun. Parents tell me I bring calm energy, responsibility, and genuine connection to the kids I care for. I’d love to support your family in whatever way you need; whether it’s childcare, homework help, structured play, or a reliable extra set of hands. Looking forward to meeting you!

"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)."
