Marveya $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello my name is Marveya but many call me Marv , I’m bilingual speaking both English and Spanish , I’m currently in college studying marketing. I’ve been babysitting since I was 16 , children from 1-10 years of age as well as 1-4 children at a time. I personally think pretty good with kids since I’m constantly around them my younger sister is 6 years old so helping her grow and teaching her new thing is a daily thing for me. I love to paint , cook and spend my time outdoors. I feel like a big part of being a caregiver is having patience and as well as being understanding and I’d say I have those two characteristics.

Esme $25 per hour for 1 child

I have worked in early childcare since January 2021 when I started at Kindercare. There, I taught all ages from pre-k down, having my own toddler classroom with 4 children on my own for a year, before settling with infants. I now work at Kol Rinah ECC as an infant teacher, as well as regularly babysitting for many of my families. Infants and toddlers are my favorite humans, but always stoked to hang out with big kids too! I am originally from the UK, where I got my degree in English Literature and Creative Writing. I have lived in St Louis since 2013. I am also a children's author with Penguin Random House, and I have a passion for childhood literature.

Bella $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Bella! I'm 30 years old and proudly describe myself as someone who genuinely cares about others. I have two Associate Degrees and have 8 years experience working in the education field, holding the following job titles: "Title Aide", "Paraprofessional", "Educational American Sign Language Interpreter", "Short-Term Substitute Teacher" as well as "Long-Term Substitute Teacher." During that time, I have worked with students of all age groups, ranging from the elementary school level all the way up the secondary level. Honestly, 6 years of my experience has been working with children that have a wide-range of disabilities within the Special Education category in the field. And due to the act that I was a working American Sign Language Interpreter for 4 years, I am fluent in the language and knowledgable of the Deaf Community as well as its culture. To those of you that are looking for a pet-sitter: I am a "mama" of two incredibly sweet feline furbabies. I love them as if they are my own children and vow to show your furbabies the same care, should I have the opportunity to work with them! I look forward to working with each and every one of your families and becoming apart of your lives as your nanny!

"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)."
