Hannah $17 per hour for 1 child

Poet & educator here, with years of K-12 classroom experience & a heart for the neurodiverse. Ms. Frizzle and Mr. Rogers are my role models, and I tend to brim with curiosity and contagious wonder ready to share with your loved ones. I'm an avid listener and love to ask folks about their stories, share poems, and encourage kids' imaginative play. You can expect warmth, open-mindedness, patience, and always a spiritual tail-wagging affirmative to the question "can we go for a walk? Hike? Adventure?" (As an aside, I have extensive experience with pet, farm, & garden care. Happy to assist in any of these capacities!)

Daiana $13 per hour for 1 child

hello! My name is Daiana and I am Argentinian! Spanish is my first language but I also have very good English!! I have been an au pair in the United States since June 2023, my 2-year program ends in June of this year and I am interested in looking for another job as a nanny in the city! I have worked with babies since they were 2 weeks old, I love children, I have a lot of experience with children of all ages, especially babies! I also have very good references! My work rule is to always do everything with love, respect and understanding. Childhood is the most important moment in people's lives and I feel that it must be taken with great responsibility. I have loved each of my jobs being an au pair and I have learned a lot about myself as well as from each child I take care of! I am always open to doing interviews via video call or staying in touch, since I still have a few months until I return to the city! I also have a lot of experience caring old people since I took care of my grandparents for most of my adolescence! I am very responsible with cleanliness in my workplace and I am always open to help in any way I can!

Hilda $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Hilda, and I am a caring, responsible, and creative educator with years of experience working with children and families. I currently teach 4th grade, which has given me a deep understanding of child development, patience, and the ability to adapt to different personalities and needs. I offer child care, pet care, and household support services that are dependable, safe, and tailored to each family’s needs. Child Care I have cared for children of all ages (infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-aged learners). With infants and toddlers, I focus on safety, comfort, and establishing routines. With preschoolers, I love supporting early learning through play, songs, and simple crafts. With older children, I encourage independence and enjoy helping with homework, reading, and fun projects. I especially enjoy activities like arts and crafts, outdoor games, music, and storytime, as well as creating fun, screen-free activities. In addition to babysitting, my teaching background allows me to support academic skills with tutoring and homework help. I am also comfortable cooking simple, healthy meals for children. I have CPR/First Aid training and strong classroom management skills, ensuring children are safe and cared for in every situation. Pet Care I have experience caring for a variety of pets including dogs,and small animals. I am very allergic to cats. I provide walking, feeding, playtime, and basic care to ensure pets are happy and comfortable while their owners are away. I am comfortable with large dogs. Whether it’s a long walk, a game of fetch, or simply making sure they get love and attention, I treat pets like part of the family. Household Services Along with child and pet care, I can assist with household tasks such as light cleaning, laundry, meal prep, running errands, and organizing spaces. I know how helpful it can be to have support in keeping a home running smoothly, and I am flexible to meet each family’s needs.

Ashley $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Ashley! I’m 22 years old and recently moved to Indianapolis with my fiance after working as a General Manager at Uptown Jungle Fun Park in Chandler Az for 3 years where I oversaw daily operations, staff, and most importantly the safety and experience of children and families. That role strengthened my ability to stay calm in fast-paced environments, lead with patience, and ensure children are safe, engaged, and having fun. I have over six years of paid childcare experience caring for children from newborns to older kids, along with lifelong hands-on experience helping care for my nieces and nephews and serving in children’s ministry through my church from a young age. Working with children has always been a natural passion of mine so becoming a nanny felt like a natural path. I am patient, calm, and dependable, and I strive to create a safe, structured, and nurturing environment where children can grow and feel supported. I enjoy outdoor activities, board games, baking, and creating meaningful, fun experiences for kids. I’m comfortable caring for multiple children, helping with light household tasks, and maintaining routines and household expectations. I am CPR and First Aid certified and am currently working toward additional childcare certifications to continue growing professionally. I value strong, open communication with parents, and my goal is to become a trusted extension of your family while providing care you can feel completely confident in. I cant wait to meet 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)."
