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.

Taryn $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Taryn, I’m 20 and I am very passionate about working with children (and I love pets!). I currently attend the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, and I’m hoping to find a family that is looking for a nanny/frequent sitter. I’m currently in Knoxville TN, but will be in Darien IL during the summer and other breaks. I’m a sophomore and I’m studying to become a pediatric occupational therapist. I have a deep understanding of child development and the importance of fostering a positive and nurturing environment for children. I am committed to providing high-quality care that promotes growth, development, and learning for all the children I work with. I also have a younger brother who has autism and intermittent explosive disorder. I have spent countless hours working with him, learning about his needs and how to provide the best possible care for him. I have developed the patience, empathy, and the skills that are necessary to provide excellent care for children with a wide range of unique needs. I have been babysitting since I was 12 years old, and I worked at an after school daycare program at the Lagrange Highlands Elementary/Middle school with kindergarten-Middle schoolers for a year, before going to college. This past summer I was a full-time nanny for an 11 year old girl with some special needs, where I would drive her to her activities, ride bikes, swim, paint, bake desserts, make slime, and do other fun actives with. I also made her meals, walked their two dogs, and did various chores/maintenance cleaning each day. I know how important it is to feel comfortable and confident about leaving your children with a nanny/sitter, and I am more than happy to stop by to meet you and your kiddos before being hired. Thank you for considering me as your nanny. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and your family!

"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)."
