New Orleans
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 6 families in Lafitte, LA

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!!

Dynasty New Orleans
$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!

Erin New Orleans
$18 per hour for 1 child

Im a very organised person who people would say is very agreeable. I find people and human behavior fascinating, and believe me when I say I have the patience of a god. Nothing grosses me out, either. Kids love me, and babies love to stare. They are just drawn to me. Other than that, I cook( and well, at that), fix things from dry wall to difficult situations, I drive, I enjoy teaching, and I come bearing art supplies. I can read rooms pretty well and have a great sense of common sense, which I regrettably have to admit not everybody does. I follow directions to a T, and stand by the rules that are set and given to me. I will most likely help take care of your plants, with permission, as well if you're a plant parent. I am a plant fan myself. Tell me what you need, and Ill make it happen.

I am the eldest daughter in a large family including 5 children, Mom, Grandparents and Great Grandparents!

I am a trained art teacher and have taught art to up to 30 children at a time all through my life. More recently I work as an art teacher for Art Klub and Camp 504. I am a playful, creative, compassionate care taker of all creatures young, old and furry.

"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)."
