Sahrish $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Sahrish and I’ve been in states for more than 20 years. I’m very new on this app to find part time work. I’ve graduated from Hudson CCC and I’ve worked with many physicians as certified medical assistant. The longer I worked with two pediatricians, from there I learned to develop creating a safe, comfortable and engaging environment for children. I’m easy going, dependable, and naturally connect well with kids. I’m very good in assisting with their daily care, playing time activities, homework support, and maintain routines. I also work as a household assistant to cook, clean, and run errands. I’m comfortable with senior care and had worked in senior living assistant previously. Moreover, I can cook and drive them to appointments, and do additional tasks. Also, I’m fluently bilingual in Hindi, Urdu, Punjabi to communicate families with diverse backgrounds. Thank you!

Jessie $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Jessie, an artist and art teacher with a love for working with children and fostering their creativity. With years of experience teaching kids aged 4-7, I’m passionate about creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment where children can express themselves and develop their skills. I’m grounded, easygoing, and detail-oriented, always striving to provide the best care and support. I believe a clean and organized home helps create a peaceful atmosphere for kids to thrive in, which I will be able to help you in, and I’m happy to assist with everything from school pickups to preparing healthy meals or organizing creative activities. When I’m not teaching or spending time with kids, you can find me drawing, reading in parks, or hanging out with my pet tortoise, Sylvia. I’m looking for a recurring nanny position where I can help make your family’s life a little easier and more fun. If you think we’d be a good fit, I’d love to hear from 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)."
