Rebecca $25 per hour for 1 child

Hey! I'm Becca. I've been a nanny for over 5 years, mostly caring for infants and toddlers. I love helping with feeding, naps, playtime, and hitting those early milestones - all while following the routines and preferences of each family. The family I'm with is ending care early due to a medical emergency, so I'm looking for something new. My schedule's super flexible right now, and I'd love to chat to see if we're a good fit!

Mahkenzie $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Mah’Kenzie, and I’m currently in school while working part-time at Walmart. I come from a big family with seven siblings, so caring for children has always been a natural part of my life. I’m patient, responsible, and truly enjoy spending time with kids of all ages. I’m comfortable helping with playtime, meals, homework, routines, and bedtime, and I always prioritize creating a safe and positive environment. Growing up in a busy household taught me strong multitasking skills and how to stay calm and dependable in any situation. I’m also a huge animal lover. I have experience with a variety of pets, including exotic animals like my bearded dragon. I also have the sweetest pitbull named Tyson, who is very gentle and well-behaved around children. I prefer providing care in your home, as it allows children to stay comfortable in their own environment. However, in emergency or last-minute situations, care in my home may be possible depending on the circumstances. I’m reliable, caring, and would love the opportunity to support your family with dependable childcare.

Amyah $16 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Amyah! I have babysat since I was 17 for families I have known. Then, I worked in a Childcare center for 2. 5 years. I have experience with children from the ages of 4 month, to 10 years old. I am currently attending Gateway for a Nursing degree. I would consider myself to be an extremely organized individual, who does well listening to expectations and planning. I am known to be outgoing and social, while also being an active listener. I absolutely love any thing art or sport related. I have many young children in my family, and attend all of their extracurricular activities! I played travel softball for most of my life, and participate in beach volleyball over the summer and recently started golf! I would love to work with a family who is compassionate, and clear on expectations. It is so important to learn what each kid needs to thrive, no two are the same, and that's one of the most amazing things!

"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."

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)."
