chloe $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Chloe, I am currently a sophomore at Xavier University here in New Orleans. My major is Chem Pre-med I want to be an ultrasound technician or radiologist. I am originally from Mississippi so I do have a bit of a country accent or so I’ve heard lol but nothing extreme. I have had background babysitting and watching children through my family friends daycare in Jackson MS (Little Einstein Daycare) part-time, I also did my fair share in babysitting for family friends children from ages 3-9. I primarily care for ages around 3-5. I enjoy really engaging with the children, taking them outside to play or fun arts and craft ideas. I like to cook, I also played basketball and love sports, I am also a little of a diehard fan for musicals and anything involving singing. I am willing to help with homework and also cleaning up as needed. I can’t wait to help!

DMyria $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is D'Myria, and I'm 22 years old. I'm a dependable, caring, and hardworking person looking for a stable, consistent position as a babysitter, companion caregiver for seniors, or housekeeper. I have years of hands-on caregiving experience from helping raise my three younger siblings, which taught me patience, responsibility, and how to create a safe, supportive, and fun environment. I'm also great with older adults and enjoy being someone they can rely on for companionship, assistance with daily tasks, light housekeeping, meal preparation, errands, or simply providing company. I'm an animal lover with a miniature dachshund named Minnie and a kitten named Hi-Wei, so I'm comfortable working in homes with small pets. (At this time, I'm only willing to work around small pets.) I'm a licensed driver, but I currently don't have my own vehicle, so I use Uber for transportation. Because of that, my rate starts at $18.50 per hour, with adjustments based on job responsibilities and travel distance. I'm fun, reliable, respectful, and always willing to go the extra mile. My goal is to find a long-term opportunity where I can make a positive difference while saving for my own vehicle and apartment. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable, I'd love the opportunity to work with you. Feel free to send me a message if you think I'd be a good fit!

"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."

"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)."
