Booked by 6 families in Austin, TX

Hi there! My name is Liane, I'm 31 years old and I’m looking for a full time job to start in August! Or even to help some families on date nights and weekends! I have more than 10 years of experience as a volunteer at church, teaching kids from 6 months to 12 years old. As a volunteer every Sunday, my responsibility was to prepare classes and activities, act in plays, tell stories, read, sing, prepare snacks, bottle feed the babies, and change diapers. I also managed the whole Children's Ministry (with a total of 200 kids and 80 adults volunteers) for about 7 months while the usual manager was on maternity leave. I’ve been working as a nanny full time for the last 4 years and 9 months, helping families with kids between 4 months and 12 years old. I have experience watching multiple children, doing nanny share with 3 different families with kids of different ages at the same time. My main obligations were prepping meals, driving to school or parks, helping with their home work/ zoom classes, and keeping them fed. I have great references from my previous jobs and I am willing to provide more information on request. I consider myself creative and artsy (I do embroidery, macrame, scrapbooking, etc. ). I am active and enjoy exploring, doing outdoor activities (riding bikes, roller skating, hiking, swimming) which I would love to do with the kids. I'm proactive, clean, organized and like to cook! That's me in a nutshell, I hope I'm able to help your family! Looking forward to hearing from you! Sincerely, Liane

Hi families! Seeking a full time nanny position between 30-40 hours a week. I have 12+ of professional experience in e-commerce/digital strategy; and 15+ years of childcare experience.

Beulah 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Beulah, and I’ve been caring for children for over five years through personal experience with family members and close friends. I’m a nurturing, responsible, and communicative sitter who truly enjoys supporting kids and helping families with child-related household tasks. I’m currently a junior at UT Austin studying Psychology with a minor in Educational Psychology, and I hope to become a child therapist — so working with children is something I’m deeply passionate about. While I don’t currently have a car, I’m happy to welcome kids into my apartment or come to your home if that works better for your family. I’m always open to learning, very understanding, and committed to creating a safe and positive environment for your child. In addition, I also offer cleaning and household upkeep services alongside a trusted partner as we begin building our small cleaning business. We’re both college students who are dependable, detail-oriented, and dedicated to helping keep your home clean, organized, and running smoothly.

“Beulah is absolutely amazing. She is reliable, patient, and incredibly attentive with children. she builds a natural connection and makes everyone feel comfortable. She communicates clearly, arrives on time, and always brings a positive attitude. What stands out the most is her genuine care. She engages the kids with activities, keeps them safe, and maintains a calm, warm presence even during busy or stressful moments.!!!!”

Booked by 2 families in Austin, TX

Hi all! My name is Kayla, and I’m 19 years old. I go to UT Austin and am studying Education. This summer I worked full time as a Pre-k teacher in Lakeway, but will be back on campus in August for school. Working with kids is my passion! I’ve babysat since I was in middle school and have cared for all ages of kids in so many different settings, including: teaching swim lessons, in playroom settings (YMCA child watch), in their homes, and in the classroom. I love playing games, going on walks outside, cooking/baking with the kiddos, and much more! I currently do not have a car, so unfortunately I’m unable to drive kiddos to and from activities, if that’s what you’re looking for. But, I am willing to entertain and watch your kiddos, cook meals, put them to bed, etc. I can’t wait to meet new families!

"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)."
