I have several years of babysitting experience and have worked in a preschool setting where I assisted with young children in both group and one-on-one environments.

Abby $20 per hour for 1 child

I am a master's student, attending Berklee NYC. I have been babysitting since I was 12 years old. In the past few years, I have grown my childcare experience greatly. I was a counselor for 3 years, before being promoted to run the before and after school programs at a local elementary school, and eventually moving into a teen advisor role with the YMCA. In my time I worked with children ages 4-18. I was a live-in nanny for a family with 4 children, ages 3, 7, 9, and 13, and this past summer before I started school I was a nanny for a 6-month-old, 2-year-old, and 6-year-old. I am CPR/First Aid/AED certified, and I also have my Emergency Medication Administration training. I am patient and reliable, and I can provide references.

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.

"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)."
