Booked by 1 family in Galena, OH

Hi! My name is Rilamulele, and I have been working with children for close to 13 years. My experience includes babysitting, working in a preschool, being an au pair, and working as a live-in nanny. I have cared for children of different ages and enjoy helping them learn, grow, and feel safe. I am currently studying Psychology at Columbus State Community College, which has given me a deeper understanding of child development and behavior. I am patient, dependable, and caring, and I believe every child deserves a supportive and positive environment. In addition to childcare, I can help with meal preparation, light housekeeping, laundry, homework assistance, and pet care. Families often describe me as trustworthy, responsible, and easy to communicate with. I genuinely love working with children and building meaningful relationships with families. My goal is always to provide reliable care while making sure children feel happy, supported, and encouraged every day.

“We had Rila to try out and see how she gets along with our kids tonight. She did very well. Our kids didn’t cry at all. She was so effective at communicating and playing with them. She’s also very calm.”

Danielle $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Danielle, and I am a 37-year-old childcare professional with over 15 years of experience working with children from infancy through pre-k and school age. I attended school for Early Childhood Education and have worked as an Infant and Toddler Teacher at Primrose School as well as with infants, toddlers, and pre-k children at The Goddard School. I also have extensive private nanny experience. I am currently completing a nanny position that has lasted more than 7 years. When I began with the family, the children were 3 years old and 18 months old. They are now 11 and 8 years old, and I have had the privilege of helping care for and support them through many important stages of their growth and development. As the children have become older and more independent, the family’s childcare needs have naturally changed, and they no longer require a full-time nanny beginning August 2026. Prior to this positionI worked as a personal nanny for a family with two boys for two years. When I began, the children were a newborn and a two-year-old. Throughout my time with the family, I provided attentive, dependable care and became an integral part of their daily lives. When the family decided to relocate, they invited me to move with them and continue as their nanny. However, I chose to remain in the area, and our employment ended due to their relocation. I am dependable, patient, and passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for children. I have completed CPR and First Aid training in the past. While my certifications have since expired, I am fully willing to renew them prior to or upon employment if preferred. I would love the opportunity to learn more about your family and discuss how I can support your childcare needs.

"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)."
