Booked by 7 families in New Orleans, LA

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. I have a resume and references I’d be happy to forward. I have lived in SF, NYC, Austin and as of March ‘25, New Orleans.

“Jane was a fantastic sitter. As new parents, we were in town and wanted to have a date night to ourselves. She came to our hotel and was so patient with our infant, only 5 months old. She was on-time and communicated well in advance so we had nothing to worry about as parents traveling with a baby for the first time. If you ever find yourself in need of a travel sitter, look no further! We felt so safe and comfortable with her. Her experience as a nanny can’t be compared. Thanks, Jane!”

Booked by 12 families in New Orleans, 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!”

Booked by 6 families in New Orleans, 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!!”

"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)."
