Marlen $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi – My name is Marlen and I’ve been working as a Patient Care Technician for the past 3 years, mostly in rehab with patients recovering from spinal cord injuries, dementia, and brain injuries. This experience has taught me patience, compassion, and how to support people with dignity in both routine and challenging situations. Outside of my hospital role, I enjoy helping families with child care, senior companionship, and pet care. I can also assist with light housekeeping, errands, and transportation to appointments. Families appreciate my bilingual Spanish/English communication and warm, reliable personality.

Hello! I’m Peyton, a college student from uptown New Orleans. I’ve worked as a babysitter and caretaker for my family and my teachers for years, looking after toddlers and school-aged children. I’m able to tutor, monitor, and provide for multiple kids. I also have experience working with neurodivergent children and I work to incorporate things I learn from parents as well as resources such as those found in ADDitude magazine and Teaching Young Children magazine. Additionally, I’m happy to look after any pets in your household. I’m experienced in fostering kittens and puppies as well as senior dogs and cats of all sizes and breeds!

Christopher $16 per hour for 1 child

I am a parent whom is great with children and their friends. I am personable, respectful and an excellent cook. I can clean adequately and have a very good sense of boundaries and a knack for overcoming minor issues. I have the mechanical abilities and growing skillsets to provide top tier service with a smile. My children are 17, 13, and 10 and currently live abroad. I work mornings so I have time to utilize in the evening. Empty nest syndrome is bringing me to expand my vast skills where they might prove useful. I have experience and patience with dogs, cats, fish, frogs, insects etc. I love dogs just can't have any but I offer part-time love for them. And of course not just children and pets, but grandparents and elder in-laws too. I have a perfect driving record if you need an errand run. Need your house watched or checked-in on? I have reliable transportation and truly the best customer service for any job. If I've applied for your gig it's within my skillset and I look forward to meeting :)

Amelia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hey all. I graduated from Tulane in May 2024, and after a year of traveling and nannying, am back in New Orleans for the forseeable future! I am super passionate about working with kids, and am looking to find awesome families to nanny for when I move back. My schedule is currently very flexible, and I am interested in both full-time and part-time work (occasional babysitting okay too. E.g. date night, sick day). I have my own transport. 
I have extensive experience (8+ years), which includes working with newborns up to age 14, children with special needs (both verbal and nonverbal), multiples (e.g. siblings with large age gaps, twins), tutoring up to grade six, and a specialty in keeping toddlers in check (success varies depending on length of nap- lol). I also create DIY "summer camps" for kids. My most recent endeavor included keeping eight five-year-olds entertained for days at a time (activities, park, pool, crafts, positive engagement). I take a play-based, screen-free approach to nannying and easily adapt my techniques based on parents' specifications and the child's needs. I believe in holding boundaries while also holding space for very real feelings (E.g., "No, we cannot get ice cream, and I know that's sad. It's okay to flop down on the ground, cry, and feel angry. Take your time, I am here.") AED and CPR (infant, child, adult) certified. I have a ton of references, from New Orleans and elsewhere, and can share the most relevant ones with you (based on age, need of child, etc).

"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)."
