Keerthana $25 per hour for 1 child

I spent 2-3 years working as a certified behavioral technician with children who have autism and special needs, including nonverbal kids and children with challenging behaviors. That experience taught me deep patience, consistency, and how to connect with kids who communicate differently. I recently graduated from Worcester Polytechnic Institute with a degree in Computer Science and am in my gap year, which means I have a flexible schedule and a lot of availability. I've also babysat my younger cousins throughout my life and am comfortable with everything from diapering and feeding infants to homework help and activities with older kids. I have my own car and am happy to drive. I'm also a cat owner and comfortable with pets.

Cindy $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Cindy, I’m located in Nashua, NH, and I’m happy to travel up to 45 minutes for the right nanny position. My current nanny position is in Salem, NH, which is about 45 minutes from my home. I am looking for a full time Nanny position. I start at $25/hr depending on the amount of children and the circumstances. I’d love to tell you a little bit about myself, my experience as a nanny, and the ways I can also support your family as a helpful household manager. I hope this gives you a better sense of who I am and the kind of care I provide. 💙 As a Nanny I am a very patient, nurturing, and compassionate person who truly believes that children thrive when they feel safe, loved, understood, and supported. When a child is struggling or acting out, I believe in taking the time to understand what they are communicating rather than simply reacting to the behavior. I use a variety of positive behavioral techniques that help me connect with children and respond to them in ways that are appropriate for their age and individual needs. Understanding how a child’s developing brain processes emotions, communication, and experiences allows me to approach challenging moments with patience and compassion. Every child is different, and I believe in learning who each child is and finding the approach that works best for them. I have experience caring for children from infancy through age 14. 👩‍⚕️ Education, Training & Experience Some of my relevant qualifications and experience include: Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) First Aid certified Adult and Infant/Child CPR certified SIDS trained Daycare certified through a previous daycare position, which required approximately 400 hours of work experience and completion of 12 Care Courses CDA training in teaching School drop-offs and pick-ups Transportation to and from extracurricular activities Experience caring for children across a wide range of ages and developmental stages 🌱 Activities I Enjoy With Children Infants: I love engaging babies through age-appropriate sensory activities involving touch, sight, and sound. I also enjoy reading books, singing, talking with them, and going outside for walks and fresh air. Toddlers: I enjoy sensory activities, introducing ABCs, counting to 10, learning colors, and beginning to introduce the days of the week and months of the year. Reading, music, creative play, and plenty of outdoor time are also favorites. Ages 4–5: I enjoy building on the skills they began learning as tod

"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)."
