Ayanna $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Ayanna and I am an EEC-Certified childcare professional with over 8 years of experience as a nanny and infant teacher. Additionally, I hold a Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education from UMass Amherst. Every day is an opportunity for me to make a positive impact in the lives of young children and families! I have experience utilizing various educational principles ranging from Reggio Emilia to Montessori. I love The Arts and sometimes love to incorporate different media based on the child's interests. My ideal childcare job is one where I have fun yet create meaningful experiences for young children that can play a part in carrying them through life with confidence and empathy. I also enjoy utilizing my creative attributes through music, art, and language to broaden a child's understanding of the world and themselves. Providing rich, diverse experiences is something that I believe shapes a person's perception of the world and helps to drive their own goals and motivations, whether big or small. Additional experience: Reggio Emilia and Montessori training Swimming supervision Domestic travel Special needs

Dannah $17 per hour for 1 child

I am 37 years old, I majored in english and literature so I love writing and reading and I will definitely read to kids. I am quiet, friendly and very understanding. I am helpful and will take my time with kids to give them the best care ever. I have no kids of my own, but I've babysat my younger siblings, nieces, nephews and of course other kids. I love to babysit because it is so beautiful to see the different personalities of such little beings, I love the different ways babies communicate when they can't even talk yet because it shows how intelligent children are even at such tender ages. I love teaching them and I just love taking care of them... Thanks for considering my profile, Dannah. Bless

"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)."
