Paula $25 per hour for 1 child

My name is Paula and I’m currently a college student with almost four years of experience caring for children ranging from ages 2 to 11. I’m finishing up a BBA degree and plan to get my teacher’s certification after I graduate in January. I have experience with school pick ups, homework help, meal and snack preparation, bedtime routines, playtime activities, and housekeeping. I’m comfortable and have experience with caring for multiple children at once. I grew up with animals at home and I currently live with two cats :) Families I’ve worked with know me as dependable, patient, organized, enthusiastic and easy to communicate with. I aim to make children feel safe, heard, and cared for while making sure parents feel confident leaving their children in my care. I love the arts (and crafts) and in my spare time I practice yoga, draw, paint, craft, read and write. I like incorporating my hobbies in child-care and aim to be a responsible, pleasant person for your child to look up to.

Morgan $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I would first like to thank you for acknowledging my profile as well as taking time out your day to give me a chance for this opportunity. If you are looking for a reliable, hardworking and experienced nanny you have stopped at the right person. I am very intelligent, sweet, caring and enjoy playing the violin most of the day. Not only do I have years of experience, I have the strength and patience to keep up with more than three children. Most of the families I worked with usually consist of two or more. Once you have mastered different strategies on how to care for a child, it becomes very easy to meet their needs without them having to tell you. You began to know exactly when to feed, change and even how to console them when sick. Just like us adults, children have feelings and may wake up having a bad day so I believe it is very important to be supportive, listen and learn to be that shoulder to lean on without yelling or getting frustrating at them. I absolutely love working with all my families. Me being compassionate for others helps me to bond with not only the children but the families as well. I have tag teamed with grandparents, play dates with other parents as well as family friends. This job has been an amazing experience still after so many years.

Booked by 2 families in Howard Beach, NY

I have almost 10 years of childcare experience. I have a B.A. from SDSU in Psychology with a focus in child development. I am a preschool/afterschool program teacher working with infants up to school-age. I have two years of prior experience as an in-home development specialist, leading play-based therapy for families with children ages 0-3 who needed a little extra support or those with developmental delays. I assessed milestones and implemented goals based on their overall development abilities - focusing on fine/gross motor, cognitive, communication skills, and more. I additionally have experience working with children with special needs and developmental disabilities such as down syndrome, Fragile X syndrome, children with feeding needs/allergies, and SMA type 1. I have active CPR, First Aid, and mandated reporter certificates in CA, and strong references upon request. Fun facts about me: I am a musician, I am a triplet, and I fluently speak Italian and some Spanish. I am a proud owner of two cats and I love animals and the outdoors. Thank you for reading and I look forward to meeting you!!

"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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

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)."
