Cappella $12 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Cappella. I have been babysitting for 2 years locally within my neighborhood. I have recently decided to move the professional route by taking my services to this app. To get to know me better here are three interesting facts about myself. I love music my favorite genres are old school R&B, J-Pop, and Psychedelic Rock. I am a nature lover and the last fact that I would like to share is that I have a weird obsession with collecting cups. I am willing to work with any age range, as far as pets I have three dogs myself so I don’t mind pets in the house. I also don’t mind cleaning or cooking if that is an extra service needed from me. I look forward to meeting you soon. :)

I graduated from the University of San Francisco with a major in psychology and several courses on child development. I am CPR certified, and currently work as a case worker for at risk youth in Charlotte. I have worked at the Ronald McDonald house in the UES for children with cancer. I worked at the YMCA at the day care, And also an after school teacher helper for the Richmond district in San Francisco. I was a camp counselor for kinder through first grade. I had about 40 kids in my group and the ratio was always 12:1. I also worked with a program that helped students from low income families reach their grade reading level. I was one on one with about 6 students a day, and I built strong relationships with each and every one of my students. I helped them reach their goal, and gave them the support and resources they needed to do so. I have been a nanny for 10 years and love it!

The kids LOVED Myra! Myra is very responsible and kept the kids busy. They had so much fun and we can't wait to have her back again.

Hi i'm Amber😊 Caring for children and being a positive part of their growth is something I truly love. With five years of childcare experience (YMCA, Jovie, ect), I provide a safe, patient, and fun environment where children--from infants to pre-teens--can learn, play, and feel supported. I'm CPR and First Aid certified and have a college degree. I enjoy keeping kids engaged with crafts, games, and creative activities while following each family's routines and household preferences. I believe open communication is important, so I'm always happy to provide updates throughout the day. My goal is to give parents peace of mind and make sure every child feels safe, happy, and cared for. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family!

Amber was great! Our daughter loved spending time with her. She is very reliable, always on time and super kind and interactive with our little one!

Booked by 1 family in Locust, NC

Hello my name is Paola, I am 31 years old! I am Colombian, I have a degree in child pedagogy, I love caring for and teaching children, I am fun, kind, respectful, honest and very responsible, patient, faithful, believer in God and love for the family. I have experience in my country in teaching and caring for children as an educator and in a school in baby care, I am also the mother of a beautiful 6-year-old boy! I also have experience here in the US as a babysitter although I don't speak English, we always look for a way to communicate with the parents, but the most important thing is that the baby is comfortable and happy! I am available to work as a nanny and do it with love. Regarding English, I just started studying, but I will look for a way to communicate while I improve my English. Truly my experience and above all love from a very young age for children will ensure that your baby is in the best hands!!! I have references from my previous jobs that are excellent

Paola was wonderful with our toddler. She is warm, calm, and incredibly attentive. Our son immediately felt comfortable with her, and she kept him engaged with activities the whole time. We felt completely at ease. Highly recommend!

** Same day bookings will be $3+ extra per hour. I have worked a few summers at a daycare helping with babies, toddlers and the bigger children in the summer camps. I also help out my aunt's daycare and I have for the past 5 years. I'm very maternal, children are drawn to me because I'm nurturing. My favorite community service is to volunteer at local schools to read / tutor / mentor children. I have a multitude of nieces and nephews that I watch overnight frequently and I work for a nonprofit organization for children.

Sabrina cared for my two daughters (ages 1 and 10) for over two years, and she was truly amazing. She handled school drop-offs, weekend care, and even occasional overnights. She was always reliable, caring, and wonderful with my girls they absolutely loved her. I’m so grateful for the support she provided our family she truly is missed!

"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."

"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)."
