Win $25 per hour for 1 child

I am starting a social work master's in the city in the fall, pivoting from a career in science and health writing, and I am looking for summer nanny jobs and babysitting opportunities beyond summer! I am creative, conscientious, and have over 10 years of childcare experience, including in schools, Christian education, babysitting, and tutoring. I also have several years of special education experience and feel very comfortable around kids with disabilities and/or neurodivergence. I love animals and have a dog of my own and would be happy to support you in running your household (childcare, pet care, light tidying, and whatever else you might need!). My favorite activities to do with kiddos include outdoor education, art projects, and guiding them through simple cooking and baking.

Itzel $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Itzel. I am currently in college working on my associates for Nursing pediatric care. I enjoy being active and playing sports. I’ve been babysitting and senior care since I was about 16 years old and I enjoy it. Being able to spend time with children and others is great. I enjoy watching them grow and being able to support them. Being creative and teaching new activities as well as learning new things they also like. Staying organized and helping others also makes me happy especially when it also makes them happy. Also organizing and cleaning is very important for safety. I enjoy making different kinds of food/meals. It just feels great being there for someone & supporting them!

Kennedy $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi - My name is Kennedy. I’m currently a freshman at Saint Louis University. I am offering child care and household services. I love babysitting and have been watching toddlers and kids since I was 14 years old. My responsibilities included driving children to and from school, cooking dinner, helping children with homework, running errands and keeping things clean and tidy around the house. I’ve also worked diligently to become CPR certified and food handling certified! The safety of all of my clients is my number one priority! I’m allergic to cats but I am more than willing to work with families who have any other pets!

"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)."
