Hello, I’m a full-time Nanny with coming up on 15 years experience from newborns to the early teen years with most of it being with infants and toddlers. I’m also the mom of 2 college aged daughters so I have a lot of flexibility. I’m Australian originally and attended the University of Melbourne but did not graduate. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and fully vaccinated. I have a safe, reliable vehicle so evening jobs are no issue and can pass all background checks. I have a resume and references I’d be happy to forward. I have lived in SF, NYC, Austin and as of March ‘25, New Orleans.

My name is Emily, and I’ve worked with children of all ages, from newborns and infants to toddlers and school-aged kids. I truly enjoy getting to know each child’s personality and creating a safe, fun, and caring environment where they can feel comfortable and be themselves. I’ve had the opportunity to work with many wonderful families over the years, whether for date nights, recurring schedules, school breaks, or occasional babysitting needs. I’m comfortable helping with meals, bedtime routines, homework, outdoor play, arts and crafts, and keeping little ones entertained throughout the day. I currently have availability this summer for date nights, occasional babysitting, and recurring care. If you’re looking for a dependable sitter, feel free to reach out. I’d love to learn more about your family and see how I can help!

Emily was wonderful! Easy to work with, my kids loved her. We were in New Orleans on vacation and booked her for 3 nights. She took the kids swimming, out to eat, and played with them! Would definitely book again! Thanks Emily!!

Greetings interested guardians of our youth, My name is Tori B.! I have many years of childcare experience despite my age. I am a Mouth Carmel Academy Alum and LSU student. I have cared for infants, toddlers, young children all the way up through high school. I provided pick up and drop offs, healthy meals, tutoring, errands, light house keeping, etc. Basically I would like to consider myself an extension of a dedicated mother doing what needs to be done for the family's best well being at request. Apart of my experience includes providing care for a family of toddler triplets, a classroom of energetic toddlers, to a developmentally delayed child in which I provided physical therapy, to an entire household with youth ages ranging from 4-16 just to list a few families. I can assure you that I am amazing under pressure, creative, fun, multitasking, sticking to deadlines, a positive reinforcement, and disciplined. I absolutely love caring for all ages being that I am a family connoisseur with strong views in organic traditional family values. I believe, in order to be the best one must put forth work and effort into the things you want out of life. Being a child care provider is more than just a job for me, it is a lifestyle of a mother and family I hope to have someday. Through child care I gain experience, broaden my horizons using conflict resolution strategies, and through reading, research, practice, and implementation. I believe child care is a skill to be exercised, practiced, and tested just as we practice mathematics. In order to become better and surpass expertise, I take our youth's childhood very seriously to be nourished, cherished, and guided into adulthood. Thank you for your interest, time, and considerations. If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, Nanny Tori ;)

Tori is a phenomenal care provider and treats every child as her own!

"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
