Jude

Hi there! I have years of childcare experience for children of all ages. I have cared for infants and toddlers, and have also worked as an assistant teacher in a fourth grade classroom. Beyond my classroom and private care experience, I have taught guitar and bass to children of all ages, so if your child is interested in learning an instrument I can offer that as a bonus! On the whole, I am creative, caring and highly attentive. I know how to keep kids entertained without relying on technology. Coming up with art projects is my specialty, so if your child loves making things I'm here to help!

Shantelle $25 per hour for 1 child

My name is Shantelle. I’m a mom whose son recently moved into college, so I have 18 years of hands-on parenting experience through every stage of childhood. I also worked as an after school teacher for three years. I’m also actively involved in raising my four-year-old niece and have several nieces and nephews so caring for children continues to be a big part of my everyday life. I’m extremely patient, nurturing, dependable, and very comfortable creating a safe, engaging environment for children. I’m also a plant-based recipe developer, cooking instructor, and herbalist, and I love cooking and preparing meal prep, routines, homework, activities, errands and light household needs. I’m an animal lover (my Cane Corso/Pitbull Rico passed recently) and comfortable with pets of all sizes and kinds, so furry family members are always welcome! As a parent and business owner, I understand how valuable it is to have someone you can genuinely trust with your children home and pets.

"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)."
