Taylor $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi there, My name is Taylor and I have first hand experience taking care of children, newborns, and teens. I have 2 children myself and that has given me a very deep understanding of how important it is to find reliable and trustworthy caregivers for your children. I am able and would love to provide an attentive and calm environment ensuring they stay active and engaged, whether it's through creative play or educational activities. I thrive off routine and usually children do well with that also. I'm able to take initiative and provide a stable environment whether it's for date nights, early work mornings or a good self care day. :) Talk to you soon!

"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."

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)."
