Emma Aurora
$15 per hour for 1 child

I have over 8 years of experience working with children, starting with one family I’ve consistently babysat for since I was a teenager. Over the past year, I’ve also worked as a nanny for two additional families, providing dependable and nurturing care for children ranging in age from infants to preteens. My responsibilities have included everything from school pickups and meal prep to playtime, bedtime routines, and creating a structured but fun environment. My reliability and strong relationships with the families I work with have also led them to trust me with house-sitting and pet care duties while they’re away. I’ve looked after dogs of various breeds and energy levels, making sure they’re walked, fed, and given attention and companionship while their owners are out of town. My experience reflects not only my love for children and animals but also the high level of trust others place in me to care for what matters most to them.

Hello families! My name is Amanda and I am a married mother of 3 (15,f/9,m/5,m) who lives in Independence, KY.

I have 10+ years experience in babysitting. I can cook savory meals, clean, wash (dry, hang and fold) clothes, help with homework and prepare school lunches. I am the eldest child of 2 children and come from a big family with many little cousins, so I have had lots of experience with younger children.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
