Hello 👋 my name is Miss. Jocelynn and I am looking for new families to help. I have professionally nannied for ten years, and recently, I have completed my Montessori certification to teach children from new born theough three years of age with the Montessori method. Prior to receiving my Montessori certification, I held a CNA, EMT, First-Aid, and CPR certifications as I did my early education in health care, with First-Aid and CPR done very two years. Recently I have completed two years at a Montessori School where I worked directly with children ages 2 months old through 3 years old and found much enjoyment there, learning about children and their development. I am excited to meet new families and hope everyone has a wonderful day 🌄

I have extensive experience in childcare, senior care, dog and cat care, and household support. I’ve been babysitting since I was 14 and have worked hands-on with preschoolers and school-age children through school programs, as well as volunteering at a daycare. I’ve cared for kids of all ages, from infants to teens, and I’m comfortable with routines, homework help, and creating fun, age-appropriate activities. I started working with seniors at 16 in senior living facilities and as an in-home caregiver, providing companionship, mobility support, daily routine assistance, and safe supervision. I also began caring for dogs and cats at 14, helping with feeding, walking, and basic supervision. In addition, I’ve supported families by keeping their homes clean, organized, and running smoothly through tidying, laundry, errands, and light household tasks. I’m outgoing, patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy connecting with people, which helps me provide compassionate and dependable care in every setting

I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with kids. I’m currently working toward my CPR and First Aid certifications and have several years of hands-on childcare experience with family, including helping with meals, homework, activities, transportation, daily routines, and caring for newborns. I’m also happy to help with light housekeeping and meal prep when needed. My goal is always to create a safe, fun, and caring environment where children feel comfortable and supported.

Hello, My name is Salma, I'm a creative 31 years old. French speaker and looking for a part/full-time of babysitting job. I love working with children; their inquisitive attitudes and loads of energy make them a joy to be around. I am responsible and dependable, but also fun and energetic. I am an auntie to 8 amazing nephews and nieces, 12 years old, 6, 5, 4, 3, 3, 2 years old and 2 months old. Allowing children to grow, explore and learn is a rewarding experience that keeps me excited as I continue caring for children of all ages. I love to take care of child and have a good time with them. I have experience caring for infant to 12 years old. Spending time with children is the only work I have encountered in my life that has not felt like work to me. With me, your children will have fun, playing and learning rather than just sitting in front of a television set. I enjoy working with children in the outdoors, creating arts, projects, while making sure your children have a fun time in a safe environment. I enjoy being surrounded by children because of their imagination, innocence, and creativity. I am an enthusiastic, fun, creative, energetic and responsible person. I love playing sports, I played 4 years college Basketball and Soccer, and still play Basketball every Thursdays and Soccer on Sundays. I was a soccer coach for kids at SUPER SOCCER STARS from the age 12 months to 15 years old. I love listening to music of all different genres, reading books, dancing, and meeting people of all different cultures. Learning is a lifelong passion for me enjoying the many different cultures around the world. I have 13 years of experiences, and working as a sitter is a wonderful experience, providing opportunities to meet many families and children of all ages. I am honored to take care of the children I meet, and have a positive impact on their lives. The variety of families that request sitter services continues to make each day I work an interesting and fun experience in my life.

"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)."
