Dena $22 per hour for 1 child

As a mother of seven, I have over 27 years of childcare experience, not including babysitting/nannying in my teen years. I taught first grade for one year, preschool for one year, and I homeschooled majority of my seven children. I have also worked with the elderly and homebound in both in-home situations as well as assisted-living care facilities. I have three years experience in that field. I am first aid and CPR trained. I have a bachelors degree in Biblical studies and education. I think children need consistency in their care. They need a role model or mentor that leads not only with words but also by example. Someone who can be an authority, but also a friend or comfort. Children learn not only by lessons but by leading and example. They should have fun, but also learn something new every day. I think the elderly deserve both respect and as much independence as can be given, depending on circumstances. They have lived full lives and have stories to tell and wisdom to give. In caring for seniors it is important to take care of their daily needs, but also listen to their wishes and expectations as well as their stories. In caring for your family members I will strive to achieve the goals and expectations required of the job, but also to go above and beyond what is expected. I will treat your family members as if they were my own and bring any question or concern directly to the responsible party so we can work together to solve the problem or find a solution. It would be an honor to care for your loved one.

Chloe $15 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Chloe and I will be graduating with the 2026 senior class this May 7th, so although my schedule is a little tight I’ll be available more in the next couple months. I volunteer weekly with my church, helping watch children infant-7th grade. I also have three years experience with babysitting. My main goal is to be able to provide a safe and supportive environment for not only the children but also the parents. I’m able to help with cooking/meal prep, household chores, homework, any bedtime/wake up routines, and above all help the parents know their child is in good hands. If given the opportunity I would love to help make things a little less stressful, God bless!

"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)."
