Shannon $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Shannon! I have experience working with elementary-aged children and teenagers. I used to work as an art teacher for elementary students, so if your little one loves coloring or crafts, that’s awesome to hear! As a babysitter, I try to encourage screen-free activities like going outside, baking, coloring, playing games, reading, and such. I follow the book Parenting with Love and Logic, even though I do not have children of my own. I do not have a car, but I can help at the house or wherever you need me. Before any babysitting, I would appreciate the chance to meet you and your child/children to chat and determine whether this partnership is a good fit. I’m also a qualified pet sitter. I love to care for cats, rabbits, and dogs.

"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."

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)."
