Hi I’m Sydney! I’m a senior at Purdue University studying Industrial Engineering. I’m originally from California and have babysat on and off for several years, including during past summers in San Francisco, and I genuinely love working with kids. I’m most experienced with children’s ages 4-5 and up, but I’m also comfortable helping with younger kids as well.

Hannah $17 per hour for 1 child

My name is Hannah. I am 30 years and live in Lafayette with my husband and our four pets/ fur-kids. I have five consecutive years of experience as a professional full-time nanny and household manager for the same family from 2014 to 2019. From 2019 to 2020 I worked as a corporate event planner but then returned to my working with children in 2020. I have spent the last year working as a preschool teacher for students ages 3-6 in two accredited preschools and am currently employed at The Goddard School. This has been a wonderful experience and has led me to return remotely to university to obtain a degree in Early Childhood Education so I can become a preschool director. While obtaining this degree, I would love to return to nannying and look forward to being part of another amazing family over the next year or more! I enjoy doing activities with the children I care for and am not a "TV babysitter" but am extremely hands-on. I'd love to take your child(ren) on adventures this summer!

Olivia $16 per hour for 1 child

I have experience working with children through my early childhood education classes in high school. During that time, I taught preschool for one year, which helped me learn how to be patient, responsible, and understanding with young children. I have also volunteered multiple times at elementary schools, where I helped children with activities and supported teachers in the classroom. I am CPR and BLS certified, so I am prepared to respond in an emergency and help keep children safe. I am caring, patient, responsible, and dependable. I enjoy working with children and creating a safe, positive, and comfortable environment for them. My experience has taught me how important it is to listen, communicate, and make sure each child feels supported and cared for.

"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)."
