Abion $25 per hour for 1 child

My name is Abion, and I have been working as a nanny for more than eight years. I truly enjoy caring for children and supporting their growth, development, and happiness. I have experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns and babies to school-age children. I am CPR trained and a Certified Newborn Care Specialist, which has given me specialized knowledge and experience in caring for newborns and supporting families during the early stages of their child’s life. Over the years, I have developed a patient, caring, responsible, and dependable approach to childcare. I enjoy creating a safe, loving, and positive environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to learn and grow. I would be happy to bring my experience, dedication, and passion for childcare to a new family and become someone they can trust and rely on.

Marisa $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a very caring and responsible person that understands the seriousness of taking care of someone else's loved ones, but I can also be very goofy and imaginative when appropriate. With children, I believe in the importance of fostering natural curiosity, critical thinking, and imagination. I also believe in the importance of spending time outside, being artistic, and engaging with new learning experiences for young children's development and sense of confidence. I have direct experience working with kids from spending many summers as a counselor/aide at my own summer camp throughout high school, an education intern both at an environmental camp and a local zoo, and from nannying a 3 year old for 6 months. In addition to that, I am a big sister and because of that I've always had a parenting/maternal side to myself unlocked. I love being outside, playing games, and I am very crafty (painting, drawing, clay/sculpture, collages, dress-up). I also have 3 years experience as a pet walker/sitter and am always open to pet care opportunities as well.

Brittny $25 per hour for 1 child

I’m the oldest of 4 and I grew up taking care of my younger siblings when my parents had to work. I’m very hands-on and very attentive. I’m clear with my communication, I love to engage while being warm and nurturing. I’ve also worked with the elderly for 2 years and those come hand in hand. I’ve learn to be patience while creating consistency and structure but I pride myself on having the willingness to learn and improve on things I might not know.

"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)."
