Taylor $20 per hour for 1 child

I have over seven years of childcare experience and have spent the last two years working in a preschool setting, where I’ve supported children during their most important developmental years 🧸🌱. I am CPR trained ❤️‍🩹 and prioritize creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel supported, confident, and excited to learn 😊. My experience working with a variety of ages, personalities, and developmental needs has helped me adapt my approach to best support each child individually. I have a strong passion for lesson planning, hands-on learning activities, and fun educational excursions 🎨📖🚌 that encourage curiosity and creativity. I love creating meaningful experiences that support social, emotional, and cognitive development 🧠💛 while keeping learning enjoyable. I am currently working toward my Occupational Therapy Assistant degree, which has strengthened my understanding of child development and inclusive care 🎓✨. I look forward to partnering with families to support their child’s growth, independence, and overall well-being 🌈🤝

Ghada $21 per hour for 1 child

Hello!My name is Gigi, and I have a strong background working with children of all ages, from infants to high school students. I have a degree in elementary and secondary education and currently work in education, so I bring both caregiving and teaching experience into every family I work with. I started working with kids a few years ago in daycare settings with infants and toddlers and continued through preschool, kindergarten, and classroom teaching, so I’m very comfortable with routines, developmental needs, and creating a safe, structured environment. I’m known for being reliable, patient, and caring, and I truly treat every child like my own. I love building strong relationships with kids while keeping them engaged through activities like reading, crafts, outdoor play, and learning-based games. I also have experience helping older students with homework, studying, and staying organized, so I can support both fun and learning. Safety is always my top priority, and I am CPR certified. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with family, going on walks, trying new foods, and doing creative activities, which I love incorporating into my time with kids. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help with light household tasks like tidying up, meal prep, and errands if needed. I also love pets and am comfortable caring for them as well. I’m currently doing this as a second job because I genuinely enjoy working with children and supporting families, and I’m looking for a family I can build a positive, trusting relationship with while providing consistent, reliable care.

"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)."
