Deanna $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, After raising two sons (both in college) and working in corporate marketing for 30 years, I'm taking some time to figure out my second act. And, I really miss having kiddos around. I enjoy spending time and even babysitting some of my friend’s children. I’m a high-energy, responsible, and fun Mom. BTW, my son has nut allergies, so I’m uniquely qualified to be very careful with food allergies. I used to be a lifeguard and swim instructor, and I have a perfect driving record. Happy to share all documents and references. Hope to hear from you! Thanks, Deanna

Hi, my name is Leah, I am a 22 year old college graduate. I have been babysitting for as long as I can remember and I have built on that with real classroom and community experience. I started college career as an Early Childhood Education major at Northern Arizona University, and completed a year and a half of course work. Although I did end up changing my degree focus to political science, the educational foundation has stuck with me. I also worked as an Assistant Teacher at The Goddard School, where I worked with infants to 7 year old children. I supported lesson plans, daily activities, and kept a while prioritizing child safety and development while communicating regularly with parents and administrators. More recently, I worked with Nike Summer Camps at NAU, where I was running marketing and photography but more importantly I was running and supurvising activities everyday. participating with campers everyday. I also volunteered for several years at Mountain Vista in Denver, a Elderly Care home. where I facilitated group activities and helped coordinate events and staffing, especially around busy holiday periods. I am passionate about getting outside, the arts and human connection! I love children and how much they can teach us adults who think we have it all figured out.

"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)."
