Isabelle $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I am a social services professional who has enjoyed working with children and pets for over 15 years. I have loved children since I was a child myself, and began babysitting at age 12. Since then, I have worked with kids in various capacities, including private nannying, tutoring, as a camp counselor, in a public school, and most recently, as a therapeutic ceramics teacher. My professional background also includes four years of refugee resettlement work and two years of education with neurodiverse learners. As a result, I am seasoned in connecting with people from all walks of life. I would be honored to bring my engaging, caring approach to your family. Additionally, I am a pet sitter! I would love to discuss how I can help your family. I have a flexible schedule, excellent experience, and a true passion for caring for others.

Booked by 1 family in Merchantville, NJ

Hi! My name is Amyah; I’m a responsible, compassionate, and dependable caregiver with several years of hands-on experience. I’ve been helping family members and family friends with childcare since I was 13, and I’m very comfortable caring for children of all ages, from newborns and up. Being the oldest sibling has also given me a strong sense of responsibility and experience managing routines, problem-solving, and making sure others feel safe and supported. I’m currently in school to become a registered nurse, which has strengthened my understanding of care, safety, and attention to detail. I work well under pressure and stay calm in stressful situations, which helps me handle challenges thoughtfully and efficiently. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to assist with light housekeeping, meal preparation, and creating a positive, structured environment. I take pride in being reliable, patient, and attentive, and I always aim to build trust with both the children I care for and their families.

"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)."
