Jael $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Jael, my four years of experience caring for children aged newborn to 12 have solidified my commitment to providing a safe, engaging, and supportive environment. I am a warm, dependable, and highly engaged professional nanny with hands-on experience providing full-time care for infants and toddlers. I am currently caring for a 13-month-old child and have been with the same family for six months, supporting his development from infancy into toddlerhood. I am experienced with bottle feeding, transitioning to solid foods, diapering, age-appropriate play, reading, outdoor activities, neighborhood walks, park and pool outings, and educational excursions. I prioritize creating a safe, nurturing, structured, and engaging environment where children can explore, learn, and develop with confidence. My professional background as a dancer, choreographer, and educator also allows me to bring creativity, movement, music, and imaginative play into children's daily routines. I am dependable, attentive, organized, comfortable with pets, and happy to assist with child-related household tasks and additional family support as needed. I would love to be considered and learn more about your families needs. I am previously CPR and First Aid certified and am getting renewed before my next position. I have a car, I am comfortable with pets if you have any, and I do not smoke. I am eager to learn more about your family and how I can help your child thrive. I am happy to provide references upon request!

Denise $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Denise - a seasoned caregiver with years of experience caring for 10+ nieces and nephews, my own daughter (now off to college 🎓) and countless neighborhood children. With a bit of empty nest syndrome, I’m excited to get back to what I love most: helping kids feel safe and happy while parents enjoy some well-deserved time to themselves. I'm reliable, patient, fun and believe that great childcare should be stress-free for everyone (and yes, I’ve had lots of practice 😉).

"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)."
