Natalie $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Natalie, and I’m currently studying business at Elon University. I am offering child care, pet care, tutoring, and household services. I’ve been caring for children for years through babysitting younger family members and coaching local youth cheer and dance camps. I have experience working with children of different ages and love creating a fun, positive, and safe environment where they can learn and grow. As a tutor for the past four years, I’ve enjoyed helping students build confidence, improve their academic skills, and develop strong study habits, and I’d love to bring that same support to your family. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to assist with light housekeeping, meal prep, laundry, organizing, errands, and pet care. I’m reliable, patient, and organized, and I always strive to make life a little easier for the families I work with. Whether we’re doing crafts, playing outside, working on homework, or simply keeping a routine running smoothly, I’m committed to providing attentive, dependable care that parents can trust. I look forward to getting to know your family!

"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)."
