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!

Jayden 1 review
$22 per hour for 1 child

Hello, i’m currently a senior college student at Dillard University as a Biology and Pre-Health double major. I was blessed with a younger brother and beautiful cousins which have taught me all my babysitting skills! I’ve even took care of my uncle for a couple months while he struggled with heart disease. In addition, i’ve also previously worked at summer camps that had children ranging from kindergarten through eighth grade. I’m open to caring for any age ranging from infants to elderly. I am also a huge pet lover as I hope to become a veterinarian when I graduate from college. I have a labor doodle of my own named Nala and nurture her in love. So I am more then welcome to care for pets, even familiar with reptiles as well. I am skillful in cooking, cleaning, and all the house duties. Hope to see you see you soon!

“Jayden cared for my three children—a 6-month-old, a 3-year-old, and a 5-year-old—and did an amazing job with all of them. She was dependable, professional, and incredibly patient, making sure each child received the attention and care they needed. She kept the older kids engaged with fun activities while also providing excellent care for our baby. I always felt confident leaving my children with her and would highly recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy and caring babysitter.”

"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)."
