Hi, I'm Megan. I'm a writer and experienced nanny and babysitter looking for part-time or occasional jobs! Previously, I was a nanny for a sweet 2 year old, working five days a week with the little one doing snacks, lunch, nap time, and lots of playtime and outdoor exploring. And I’ve been a daily after school/after camp caregiver for kids ages 8-12. I've been babysitting since I was a teenager—through high school, college, and grad school. I have experience with kids aged 10 months-12 years, both as a camp counselor and a babysitter. I love crafts, games, and playing sports with kids. In my spare time I enjoy tennis, visiting museums, and bingeing tv. I'm looking forward to meeting new families -- please contact me if you have any questions!

Megan was warm, professional and clearly very experienced with caretaking for children.

Thank you for considering me as your trusted caregiver. I look forward to becoming a part of your family!

Kenitra was amazing. Our daughter connected right away with her and showed her all of her favorite things. This was the first time someone outside of immediate family members watched her but because of Kenitra’s genuine warmth that she expresses naturally. My wife also was appreciative that she sent us photos of the two of them having fun which put her mind at ease. We highly recommend Kenitra!

Hi parents, Caring for children is more than just a profession for me, it’s a passion that comes from both experience and motherhood.

My approach is centered around creating a warm and nurturing atmosphere where children feel secure, valued and confident. I take pride in supporting developmental milestones, fostering creativity, promoting positive behavior and maintaining open communication with parents. CPR and First Aid certified which adds an extra layer of reassurance, allowing you, the parent to feel confident that their children are in capable hands. As both a caregiver and a mother, I understand how important it is to find someone who will care for your children with the same level of attention, compassion, and dedication that you would.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
