Hello! My name is Helena and I recently moved to the US from Ghana. My American husband and I have one son and I also have one son from Ghana here with us. In addition to the experience of raising my own sons, I taught young children in school and babysat when I was in Ghana. I am also the 2nd oldest sibling in my family and helped raised my younger sisters and brothers. In my free time I enjoy cooking ethnic Ghanaian cuisine, and watching soccer. My husband I both care a lot about food and do our best to feed our sons healthy and organic food from scratch as much as possible. I also try to take my sons outside as much as I can. Overall, I hope you give me a chance to watch your children and I promise to care for them as if they were my own. Thanks for looking!

Hello - My name is Chloe and I am a nursing student at Ivy Tech. My passion is pediatrics as I love working and caring for kids! I currently work as a CNA at a long-term care facility and love it. I also am CPR certified! I also love animals of any kinds so pet care is not a problem! I love babysitting because kids are so much fun to be around. I have 3 years of experience with watching 4 kids (2,3,5,6). I love to bake, watch movies, do fun crafts, and be outside. I can help with homework and tutoring. I have experience with all sorts of dog breeds (small to large ) so that is not an issue.

I have worked with kids for as long as I can remember! I'm the oldest of 6 children and grew up helping my mom with all childcare, homework help, cooking, and carpool duties. From ages 12-18, I also consistently babysat for and tutored neighbors. For two years, I worked as a Teacher's Assistant at the Primrose School, primarily working with 2-4-year-olds. I currently offer babysitting services to friends and coworkers, mostly caring for children ages 0-3, but I am open to and enjoy working with kids of any age group! My top childcare skills include patience, flexibility, quick problem solving, story time, committing to each child's routine, and being understanding of each individual child's emotional needs. In my spare time, I like to cook, read, paint, and be outside as much as possible! CPR certified, first aid training, non-smoker. Experience with pet care (dogs and cats).

"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
