Cenae $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Cenae 😊 I’m a caring, dependable nanny with over four years of hands-on childcare experience, and working with children has always been a big part of my life. I’ve cared for kids ranging from infants to school-aged children, and I truly enjoy being involved in their day-to-day routines, growth, and development. I have strong experience with infants and toddlers, including bottle feeding, diaper changes, supervised naps, tummy time, and engaging play. I’m very attentive to babies’ cues and focus on creating a calm, nurturing environment where they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. Families I’ve worked with often describe me as patient, gentle, and naturally good with children. In addition to my professional nannying experience, I come from a large family with several younger siblings, so caring for kids has always come naturally to me. I take my role seriously and treat every child I care for with the same love and attention I would want for my own family. I value open communication with parents and enjoy working with families who see their nanny as a trusted part of their child’s care. I’m someone parents can feel confident relying on, and I always strive to create a positive, supportive environment for both children and parents. I’m currently looking for a part-time or full-time position and would love to connect with families looking for attentive, loving care for their little ones.

Lyse Kerline $21 per hour for 1 child

My name is Kerline O. I am 33 years old, and I have 3 years of experience caring for children aged 3 months to 7 years in North Dakota. I had to leave my previous position to move to New York, where I developed excellent childcare skills. I have always been well-behaved and have the ability to manage, tolerate, understand, and nurture children. I know how to protect them and also help them with learning activities at their level. I work with children with love and professionalism. As personal and behavioral qualities, I possess patience and gentleness: essential for not rushing the child and allowing them to develop at their own pace.

I also have excellent interpersonal skills, as contact with children and families is paramount, as is good listening. Regarding responsiveness and adaptability, I know how to react to unforeseen events and adapt to each situation, which is crucial. I know how to manage routines, meals, hygiene, and activities. I also know how to offer age-appropriate developmental games and crafts, and I constantly ensure the safety and well-being of the child.no alergic for the Pet nging five years of experience in senior care, I'm driven by a genuine passion for fostering the well-being and independence of adults and seniors. I provide live-in care, hospice services, light housekeeping, meal preparation, medical management, and support for physical activity. My calm and patient personality allows me to adapt to changing routines or unexpected challenges, especially when caring for individuals with special needs or memory care needs. I prioritize respecting your loved one's independence and provide regular updates via text or phone call.

"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)."
