$20 per hour for 1 child

I have a bachelor’s degree in biochemistry and neuroscience, so I really understand how the body and mind grow and develop. I care a lot about nutrition, healthy habits, and positive development for kids. Even though I haven’t worked as a nanny before, I have lots of experience helping my mom, taking care of elderly and children in college. Back in vietnam, I often went with my mom, a gynecologist nurse, to the hospital and saw how she cared for babies and moms. From her, I learned to be kind, patient, and gentle with everyone growing up. I live a healthy lifestyle — I love lifting weights, playing sports, and eating well — and I enjoy helping others build those same good habits. I believe kids need care, attention, and encouragement to grow into happy, confident adults. Im single and could travel with the family. Im looking for 6 figures salary to take care of multiple kids for full time job. Im also open to part time job. Right now, I’m working as a general manager in tech, but I’m looking for a job that feels more meaningful and lets me make a difference in people’s lives, especially by caring for children. I’d love the chance to bring my energy, warmth, and knowledge to your family.

Hi my name is Harper and I am currently going into my sophomore year at the University of Texas. My friends would describe me as upbeat and bubbly! I have always had a love for kids, and really started to baby sit regularly my sophomore year of high school. Being new to Austin I’m so excited to be looking for new families!

Hi there! I am an Austin nanny with a BFA in Acting/Musical Theatre and am high-energy, fun, yet patient. In NYC and Los Angeles I was a nanny to a 4 month-old, 10 month-old, and 3 yr-old child so I have lots of experience in early childhood. I have babysat for children of all ages and love playdates, exploring the outdoors, watching Disney movies, or just listening to the wild imagination of a child. I have also been a director at a children’s theatre company and have experience with TK and toddlers all the way up to middle school kids. I am very flexible with times/dates, love pets, and am open to babysitting children/teens of all ages!

I have 40+ years experience with children of all ages. I have been babysitting so long that I am now babysitting children of the children I babysat for 40+ years ago. I have experience with multiples and special needs children. I am also a Sunday pre-school teacher at my church. This is the way I see it, you are turning over your children, your home and everything else surrounding your life while you go out and do what you need to do, whatever that may be. While you are gone you expect your children and home to be well taken care of. I am honored that you would trust me with your children and your home. I will do everything within my power to make sure it's all returned safe and sound to you. That's what you truly want - to be secure in the knowledge that your children are safe, loved and well taken care of. That's the peace of mind I can give you. I have provided excellent references for you to contact. Please feel free to contact me anytime. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Was able to help fill a last minute request. Flexible on timing and very responsive.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
