With all my love, I cannot imagine life without being able to care for our wonderful children. Childcare is my passion, seeing the potential of our children and harnessing it at an early age is vital for their growth and development.   As a parent of three myself, I understand the importance of having a safe environment for our children to learn, love, and play. I am well credentialed; my degree is in English and Elementary Education, I am also certified in CPR and First Aid. I have a history of providing over 20 years of care for children and have references. Best Regards, Teicha

Esther $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Star ⭐️. I speak both English and French, and caring for children has always been a big part of my life. I grew up in a family of 10, so I've always been surrounded by kids. I've been babysitting for over 6 years and have experience caring for children from newborns to 15 years old. Two years ago, my best friend welcomed her baby, and I've been one of her primary caregivers ever since. I'm comfortable with newborn care, including diaper changes, bottle feeding, soothing, nap routines, and creating a safe, loving environment. I'm patient, dependable, organized, and creative. I enjoy planning fun activities, helping with homework, reading stories, and making sure children feel happy, supported, and cared for while their parents are away. I'm also an experienced pet caregiver! I have a 1-year-old brindle Pit Bull mix, so I'm very comfortable with energetic dogs. I've cared for Pit Bulls, Poodles, and cats through dog walking and pet sitting, and I'd be happy to help with pets as part of your family's care. I currently work as a bartender four evenings a week (usually after 5:00 PM), but I'm happy to adjust my schedule whenever possible to meet a family's needs. At the moment I don't drive, but I'm very reliable with Uber and public transportation, and I always make punctuality a priority. I'd love the opportunity to get to know your family and provide dependable, compassionate care you can trust. I look forward to meeting you!

Nurturing young minds is my passion! With 5 years of experience caring for children aged newborn to six, I bring a patient, creative, and friendly approach to childcare. My previous babysitting and nannying roles solidified my desire to positively impact children's lives, and l am eager to foster their growth and development. I love to do arts and crafts, sing songs, read books, teach cooking skills, and go on walks to the playground, and library. I have experience with baby lead weaning, potty training, supporting physical therapy, and baby development. I have a high school diploma and speak both English and Spanish. I can provide regular updates via text or phone call and always follow your preferred communication methods. I also follow the parents' lead when enforcing household rules. I am also willing to help with cooking, meal preparation, and light housekeeping. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I have a car and am comfortable with pets.

“Gaby is incredible! She has babysat for my 3 boys for the past six years. She is reliable, trustworthy, and so amazing with kids. My boys light up when she gets to our house. She is intuitive and patient with babies and toddlers and imaginative and fun with older kids. I cannot recommend her highly enough!!”

"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)."
