Booked by 4 families in Charleston, SC

My name is Rose, and I am graduating from Auburn University this August in Nursing! I just moved to Charleston to work as a Pediatric Nurse at MUSC following graduation! I worked at a preschool for children ages 2-5, and I have babysat throughout my time in college for children ages 1-6. I have worked at various summer camps, one that was ages K5-5 and focused on teaching campers how to be money-smart, understand wants vs. needs, and practice philanthropy. The other was an overnight summer camp for ages 12-17. Lastly, I mentored a 7-year-old little boy each week through an organization called Project Uplift. Project Uplift is a volunteer organization to help children develop constructive, happy lives who face many obstacles. I normally describe it as being similar to a big brother / big sister program!

Rose was amazing my boys love her

$25 per hour for 1 child

My name is Antoniya, and I am an experienced and dedicated childcare provider with over three years of experience working in a daycare setting, as well as many additional years of babysitting children of all ages. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of caring for infants, toddlers, school-aged children, and pre-teens, adapting to each child’s unique needs with patience, creativity, and care. I am passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and feel supported. My professional background in daycare has equipped me with strong skills in group supervision, activity planning, mealtime routines, and conflict resolution. As a babysitter, I’ve also built trusting relationships with families by providing dependable, responsible, and loving care in their homes. I truly enjoy working with children and take pride in contributing to their development and happiness. I look forward to the opportunity to bring my experience, energy, and genuine love for kids to your family through UrbanSitter. Sincerely, Antoniya Patterson #NewOnHere

We’ve had the pleasure of having Niya babysit for us on multiple occasions, and she has been absolutely wonderful each time. She is dependable, warm, and clearly experienced with young children. Our daughter feels completely comfortable with her, and it’s easy to see the trust and connection they’ve built over time. Niya brings a great balance of fun and structure, always keeping things calm, safe, and engaging. She communicates clearly, follows our routines with care, and leaves everything tidy. We’re always at ease knowing our daughter is in such capable and kind hands. We’re lucky to have her and look forward to having her back again.

$14 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I recently moved to Charleston after graduating from the University of Georgia in May and am excited to start babysitting and making connections with families in a new city! I have been babysitting since age 13 and since then have babysat and nannied for children of all ages for many families in both my home town and college town. Most recently, I spent my four years of college nannying for a family with four children ages 9 months, 3, 5, and 7 years old when I started until they were 3, 6, 8, and 10 years old this year when I graduated. I also have worked in the infant and toddler nursery at my church for four years and worked as an After School Program Leader at Downtown Academy, a local elementary school with grades Pre-K through 5th in my college town of Athens, Georgia. I just graduated from nursing school, where I also experienced working with children in clinical rotations at both Piedmont Athens Regional hospital and the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta hospital, and will soon be starting a nursing job in Charleston. I am CPR/BLS certified. I love making strong connections with families and forming relationships with kids of all ages. I most enjoy playing creatively with the kids I babysit through games and crafts and spending time outside. I am comfortable helping with meals, homework, bedtime, pets, and light housekeeping. I believe in building trust with families through clear communication, reliability, and kindness. I want to be someone both parents and kids can count on. I look forward to providing families with attentive, 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)."
