Adedapo $30 per hour for 1 child

love being a nanny because caring for children comes naturally to me. I enjoy creating a warm, safe, and loving environment where babies and kids feel secure. As a mother to a 4-month-old, I understand the importance of patience, gentleness, and consistency. It gives me joy to support families and to provide the same quality of care I give my own child. I have hands-on experience caring for infants through raising my own baby, including feeding, diaper changes, soothing, sleep routines, tummy time, and monitoring developmental milestones. I have CPR or First Aid training,

Mickelia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I am Mickelia, a Master’s student pursuing a career in medicine, and I have a genuine passion for caring for and working with children. I have hands-on childcare experience in both clinical and personal settings. I previously worked in a children’s hospital, where I provided direct care and support to children with a variety of needs. I also worked as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), where I supported children with autism and gained valuable experience understanding their individual needs, routines, behaviors, and communication styles. In addition to my professional experience, I have been babysitting my younger cousin since he was 6 months old and continued caring for him through age 7. This experience taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, attentiveness, and creating a safe and enjoyable environment for children. I am dependable, caring, patient, and attentive, and I understand that every child is unique. I would love the opportunity to provide your child with a safe, nurturing, and fun environment while giving parents peace of mind that their little one is in capable hands.

"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)."
