Emma $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Emma and I’m currently a Master's student in a school psychology program and working as a substitute teacher during the day. I have 5 years of experience in childcare, I was a nanny for a elementary aged boy, I worked in a daycare for ages 6 months to 12 years for 2 years, a cheer coach for 6-12 year olds for 2 years. I love working with children, they are so creative and full of potential! I love nothing more than fostering that potential and making sure they're safe and well-cared for in the process. I’m looking forward to helping out!

Hi! My name is gabi and i am 19 years old. I graduated from C Milton Wright in 2024 and have been working since. I absolutely adore kids of all ages! I worked in childcare for over a year during high school and loved it. It gave me more hands on experience then ever, and got to get experience with children 4-16 years old. I have been babysitting and involved in childcare for over 7 years. I babysit for family members all the time, neighbors, and anybody who needs a helping hand. I have babysat as little as 2 months old and as old as 14 years old. I get along great with children because of my personality. I am looking for a great family to nanny for and really looking for a full time family! I also clean, i can meal prep, and drive children wherever they may need to be. I do have reliable transportation and a valid license also! Let me know if you have any questions!

Janiya $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi all! My name is Janiya. Im a recent college graduate. While still searching for a career in my field, Id like to use my free time to help families care for their children. I am offering child services. I absolutely adore and respect children. In every child I see a glimpse of myself because i was once a kid, too. As a person who’s an empath, Im highly aware of emotions and try my best to understand others so that I can connect with them in order to offer help. Ive babysat many younger family members since I was in elementary school! I also have experience in caring for children ages 1-5 at my church. And ive been a camp counselor in the past for children ages 5-10. My responsibilities have included maintaining personal hygiene, keeping them occupied with arts and craft, ensuring safety, providing meals, nap time, and offering emotional support. Ultimately I wish to continue being a compassionate and present person to respectful and polite kids. I do wish to have children of my own soon so, caring for each child as if they were my own is an innate skill that I carry.

"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)."
