Lucie $20 per hour for 1 child

Dear families! My name is Lucie, and I’m so excited to introduce myself as your next babysitter. I am 30 years old and I’ve been caring for children since 2017. I have had the joy of working with little ones of all ages—from snuggly newborns to curious toddlers and energetic school-aged kids. I’m currently a Graphic Design major at Rider University, looking for a career change. However, long before I started designing, I discovered my greatest joy comes from creating bright, happy moments with children. Babysitting has always been more than a job to me—it’s a chance to become a trusted part of a family’s story. I love watching kids grow, learn, and laugh, and I take pride in being that dependable, loving presence they can count on every day. Whether we’re playing outside, visiting the zoo, or building blanket forts at home, I’m always looking for ways to spark imagination and keep things fun. I believe in outdoor play, creative messes, story time, and giggles that fill the room. I also enjoy cooking nutritious meals and finding healthy snacks that even picky eaters adore. Families often describe me as responsible, dependable, patient, and calm under pressure, but what truly defines me is the heart I bring into everything I do. I treat every child as if they were my own family —celebrating their quirks, comforting their tears, and cheering for every milestone. If you’re looking for someone who brings warmth, creativity, and genuine care into your home, I’d love the chance to meet your family and help your little ones thrive—with lots and lots of love! I can also provide multiple references!

"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)."
