Andrea $30 per hour for 1 child

With nine years of professional childcare experience and my Newborn Care Specialist certification, I bring both hands-on experience and specialized newborn training to the families I support. Caring for children has been my passion since I began working part-time in a daycare during high school, and that passion has grown into a fulfilling career as a dedicated nanny and infant care professional. I have experience working with children from newborn through school-age in daycare, YMCA, and private in-home settings. However, supporting families during the newborn and infant stage is especially meaningful to me. As a certified Newborn Care Specialist, I am trained in newborn development, sleep conditioning, feeding support (breast and bottle), establishing healthy routines, soothing techniques, and maintaining a safe sleep environment. I understand how important those early weeks and months are, and I strive to provide calm, knowledgeable, and nurturing support to both baby and parents. In my nanny roles, I take on all childcare-related responsibilities including bottle prep, diapering, sleep scheduling, developmental play, tummy time, milestone tracking, baby laundry, sanitizing, and maintaining a structured yet loving environment. As children grow, I incorporate educational activities, creative play, outdoor exploration, and transportation to scheduled activities. My goal is always to encourage imagination and development while helping children confidently reach their milestones. Beyond experience and credentials, I value forming strong, respectful bonds with families. I am patient, attentive, reliable, and flexible available for travel, overnights, late stays, and date nights. I have my own vehicle, can provide a car seat if needed, and I am fully vaccinated and American Red Cross Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED certified. I understand that choosing someone to care for your child is one of the most important decisions a family can make. I am committed to listening carefully to your concerns, respecting your parenting style, and ensuring your child feels safe, supported, and loved every day in my care. I would be honored to support your family during this special season of growth and development.

Maura $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Maura, and I’m a 27 year old childcare professional with over 12 years of experience. As the oldest of five, I naturally stepped into a caretaker role early on, beginning to babysit at 15. From there, my passion for working with children grew! I spent my high school years helping neighbors and family friends, continued to nanny throughout college, and supported students with homework and after school routines. After graduating in 2020, I ran a learning pod for four young children, where I helped guide their virtual schooling and created a structured, supportive environment that felt as close to a classroom as possible. I’m comfortable caring for children of all ages, from infants through school-age, and I have experience balancing the needs of multiple children at once. I’m also happy to help with household tasks and am very comfortable with pets. I’ve cared for families with dogs and cats and love including them in the daily routine. I aim to bring warmth, patience, structure, and fun into every home I partner with. I’d love to get to know your family and support your children as they grow!

Tamiyah $21 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Tamiyah, I am a loving, patient, and dependable childcare provider with over 5+ years of professional experience working with children of various ages. I previously worked as an Afterschool Teacher at Apex Learning Center, where I supported elementary-aged students with homework assistance, structured activities, classroom management, and social-emotional development. In this role, I learned how to create a safe, engaging, and positive environment where children feel encouraged, supported, and confident. In addition to my experience with school-aged children, I have hands-on experience caring for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and gentle guidance during early developmental stages. I enjoy creating age-appropriate activities that encourage creativity, learning, and emotional growth while always prioritizing safety. I also worked as a caregiver at Mount Vernon Towers, where I assisted senior residents with daily living activities and companionship. This experience strengthened my nurturing nature, attentiveness, and ability to provide personalized care with empathy and respect. Working with seniors has enhanced my patience and my ability to remain calm and supportive in all situations. I am CPR and First Aid certified, giving families peace of mind that their children are in safe and capable hands. I am experienced in multitasking, maintaining routines, meal preparation, light housekeeping, and caring for pets as well. I am comfortable caring for multiple children at once and adapting to each family’s unique needs and parenting style. Families describe me as gentle, trustworthy, responsible, and attentive. I truly enjoy building meaningful connections with the children and families I work with. My goal is always to create a safe, loving, and structured environment where children can thrive, feel secure, and have fun. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide dependable, compassionate care.

"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)."
