Dynasty $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Dynasty, I’m married, family-oriented, and love God. I enjoy cooking, spending time with children, and caring for pets. I have hands-on experience babysitting my nephew, which has taught me patience, creativity, and the importance of making kids feel safe and loved. I enjoy doing activities like arts and crafts, reading, playing outdoors, and helping with homework. I also have a Goldendoodle, so I’m very familiar with feeding, walking, playing, and caring for pets of different sizes even large ones that shed. Whether it’s child care or pet care, I bring joy, responsibility, and dedication to everything I do, and I would love the opportunity to serve your family. Even though i don’t have years of experience, I am willing to learn and grow & gain more experience!

$21 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 12 families in Destrehan, LA

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!

"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)."
