Hello, my name is Jamie I am a 47 year old female, I am a very honest & outgoing person. I love being around kids. I take care of a little girl that is 9 years old a couple days a week. When my grandmother was alive I moved in with her. I helped her in a lot of different ways. After my grandmother passed away, I moved back in with my mom since she was alone. Unfortunately she got cancer and I helped her as much as I could. I took her to Doctor appointments picked up her medications and helped her with things around the house unfortunately my beautiful mother also passed away after a few years. I am not trying to bore you with my life story just trying to show you how caring and family oriented I am. I promise you I will put 100% in anything I do. Please consider me to help. Thank you for your time and hope to meet you soon. Thank You Jamie

Hi families! I’m Emily 👋🏼 A loving, experienced nanny with 10+ years in childcare. I began babysitting in college, earned my Bachelor’s in English, and went on to teach Pre-K and elementary students in Spain. 🇪🇸 Later, I pursued my Master’s in Early Childhood Education with a focus on Special Education. I’ve worked in classrooms ranging from Pre-K through 8th grade and am comfortable caring for children of all ages and abilities. I prioritize creating a calm, nurturing environment that supports kids’ social-emotional development and curiosity. Some of my favorite activities include reading, yoga, outdoor play, crafts, and long walks! I speak conversational Spanish and would be happy to practice with your little ones. I’m CPR certified, have my own car, and am great with pets. Since I teach during the school year, I’m currently available for seasonal summer care, with ongoing availability for evening and weekend babysitting. I’d love to build a warm, trusted relationship with your family! Warmly, Emily 🤍

"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)."
