Chiasi $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Chia(si) and I am a fresh college graduate! I am looking for some fun jobs to do while deciding what the next steps of my life will look like. I offer Child Care Services and House Services. I have had a long history with childcare as I am the oldest and have helped to take care of my 4 younger siblings since I was 7. In addition to that, I have taught preschool and kindergarten age kids at church for 7 years now. I enjoy hanging out with kids whether that's playing, doing arts and craft, baking, reading, or anything else. I can also help with homework and tutor! As for Household Services, I used to work as a house cleaner and so I have experiences with cleaning (vacuuming, mopping, dusting, sweeping, etc). Thank you!

Natalie $28 per hour for 1 child

As the eldest sibling, cousin, and neighborhood babysitter, I gained extensive experience caring for children from a young age. I joined a nanny agency in high school and continued nannying throughout college, staying with one family until I had my son. Now that my son is graduating this year, I’m looking to return to childcare on an occasional part-time, weekend basis. While I work full time at a dermatology clinic, I would love the opportunity to help support families again while also supplementing my son’s college expenses. Families will appreciate that I am trustworthy, dependable, hardworking, conscientious, clean, and loving.

"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)."
