Janie 1 review
$22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Janie, a loving and reliable nanny/babysitter with 5+ years of childcare experience! I’ve worked in daycares and as a private nanny, mostly with infants and toddlers, but I love caring for kids of all ages. I’m super passionate about helping little ones learn, grow, and feel safe (and have fun while doing it 🩷). I’ve taken multiple early childhood education classes/courses. I’m both CPR and first aid certified as well as being a Certified Nursing Assistant. I also have great references that I’m more than happy to provide! I’m currently looking for part time or full time work and have a very flexible schedule. Feel free to message me or comment with any questions or just to get to know me a bit better☺️

“I cannot recommend Janie enough. She was our babysitter for a while, and she truly set the bar for what great childcare looks like. She’s patient, reliable, and genuinely cares about kids, you can tell she does this from the heart, not just for a paycheck. One thing that always gave me so much peace of mind was knowing she is certified in both CPR and first aid. Leaving your babies with someone is scary, but with Janie, I never worried for a second. I always knew they were in safe hands. Even though it’s been a few months since she worked with us (she was with us for years, since my kids were infants/toddlers), the kids still talk about her and ask when they’ll get to see her again. Any family would be truly lucky to have her!”

Justine $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Justine, and I bring both experience and passion to childcare. I have worked with children of all ages, from infants to preteens, and I am committed to creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for every child I care for. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and I continue to grow my skills through additional childcare training and hands-on experience. Families can count on me to be reliable, patient, and creative. I enjoy planning fun, age-appropriate activities that spark learning and imagination, whether it’s crafts, reading, outdoor play, or educational games. I am also happy to assist with homework, meal preparation, and light household tasks to help make family routines smoother. My approach to caregiving focuses on respect, kindness, and consistency, while encouraging children to explore, learn, and develop independence. I truly love watching kids grow and being a positive part of their daily lives. Parents often describe me as dependable, trustworthy, and caring—qualities I take great pride in. I would love the opportunity to support your family by providing dependable childcare that gives you peace of mind and gives your child a safe, joyful space to thrive

"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)."
