Hi, My name is Waynisha. I am currently a online college student at the Houston Community College to concur my Associates Degree in Childcare Development. I have worked at two Daycare centers with the ages infants - 4years and after schoolers too. I am a firm believer of taking children outside on a sunny day and when I can’t do that it’s always time to do some serious arts and crafts with some peaceful music and our active imaginations. I believe that every day no matter what the age is it’s aways a learning experience with a little fun to it. I been caring for children since I was 16 years old and now as an adult I play a big role in caring for my child who is now a 2 year old some times I will bring her with me to a job when I am booked but I will never without the parent who booked me consent. Most times I will have help so no worries if my baby can’t come just let me know. Children are what keep me going every day.

Waynisha was absolutely lovely. We visited New Orleans, and she watched over our daughter at our hotel on two separate nights. She was easy to communicate with, reliable, flexible, and connected with our daughter immediately. She lulled her to sleep both nights and kept us up to date on her status. I wouldn't hesitate to reach out to her again next time we're in town!

Booked by 1 family in Braithwaite, LA

From a young age, I’ve always been surrounded by little ones — I’m a proud middle child of 11 siblings, so caring for babies and children of all ages truly comes naturally to me. Growing up in a big family taught me patience, responsibility, and how to create a calm, structured environment even on the busiest days. I have two years of professional childcare experience, in addition to a lifetime of caring for infants, toddlers, and pre-teens within my own family. I am completely comfortable caring for newborns, and I can confidently handle up to three children at a time. I am BLS, CPR, and First Aid certified, have a college degree, and I’m experienced with homework help, light cleaning, cooking kid-friendly meals, and maintaining routines. My approach is patient, warm, and nurturing, but also organized — I like to keep things running smoothly so parents come home to a peaceful environment. I enjoy planning engaging activities such as outdoor play, board games, educational games, and creative projects. I’m happy to follow your household rules and adapt to your family’s preferences. I provide clear communication, including written daily notes if you’d like, and I’m flexible with whatever method parents prefer (text updates, check-ins, etc.). I have my own car, a clean driving record, and I am comfortable with pets. Above all, my goal is to make sure your children feel safe, happy, and genuinely cared for. I would love the opportunity to support your family and become someone your children feel excited to see.

Trinity is very friendly and sweet. She watched our baby so we can enjoy being adults. Definitely will book again. Thank you so much for your help!

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.

"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
