Israel $24 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Israel, I've always had a passion for nurturing children's development, which led me to become a childcare provider. With 3 years of experience caring for children aged 0-17, I'm known for my patience, creativity, and friendly demeanor. I excel at communicating with parents, providing regular updates about their child's day and addressing any concerns. I'm very comfortable enforcing household rules and setting boundaries while ensuring the children feel safe and loved. When it comes to keeping the little ones entertained, I enjoy a variety of games, from outdoor sports and physical activities to board games and educational games that stimulate their minds. I'm comfortable caring for up to four children simultaneously and am happy to assist with light housekeeping and crafting activities. As a reliable caregiver, I'm dedicated to providing a safe and nurturing environment for your children. I have been with my current family for 3 years and I'm looking for a position where I can become like family and a trusted/safe individual to your child. I speak Spanish, too. And would prefer a family who have limited screen time and prioritize time outside and hands-on activities at home and outdoors

Hazel $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I am a young artist that would love to help a family looking for part-time childcare. I am qualified due to years of babysitting local kids within my small hometown on the coast of California, as well as my two completed CTE (Career Technical Education) courses in Psychology and Psychological Development of Children. Completing these courses took 4 years total and I spent my senior year being Teachers Assistant and Art Teacher for students aged 6-11. I am quite young so I am able to connect with kids very easily and I genuinely enjoy their company. In terms of safety I am very reliable. I'm very and physically aware due to my High School years as an all-state wrestler. I continue to practice martial arts regularly, so if necessary I know how to protect anyone who needs help. I can keep up with kids energy levels and physical fitness. I am great with school assistance in all subjects and can navigate electronics with ease. As a caretaker, my goal is to find creative ways to help kids explore knowledge and the world around us.

"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)."
