Zoë $20 per hour for 1 child

I have always enjoyed spending time with kids, I did a lot of babysitting for family friends growing up and have now been working in a daycare for a little over a year. I’m certified in CPR and first aid, and have my drivers license and a car. I love seeing kids use their imagination and my favorite part of working with them is watching them develop their own personalities. I am located in Woodbury but am willing to commute 20 ish minutes if possible :) I would be looking for full time employment, starting mid September. I’m currently in the process of obtaining my phlebotomy certification, so it would hopefully be a shorter term job as I want to find work in the medical field at some point. I’m open to discussion on scheduling, please feel free to contact me to talk further!!

Kadence $15 per hour for 1 child

Hii My name is Kadence, and I am currently taking a gap year from school and i would love to be a full-time nanny for a family. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns,infants, toddlers, and kids since I was 14 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, tutoring, cleaning, taking them to do fun activities etc. I grew up with two younger siblings the youngest being 12 years apart from me so I have lots of experience babysitting. My family and friends would describe me as a very patient, calm, and kind person.

Anna $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Anna. I am a Special Education Teacher looking for additional income. I have availability before school (before 8am), after school (after 4:30pm) and most weekends! I have experience working with children 6 weeks to 18 years old. I have worked with a variety of people with special needs and without! I started as a mommy helper at age 11 and have continued to work with kids as a nanny, party host, camp counselor, and teacher. I am a child lead caregiver meaning that I teach children through child initiated play while building a safe and trusting relationship. I hold firm boundaries while being playful which cultivates a wonderful relationship with the child. I love crafts and animals! I have two cats of my own that I love to spoil! Let me know if this maybe a good fit!

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
