Booked by 1 family in Elgin, TX

I am new to Texas and am hoping to find a family looking for a nanny with a genuine passion for caring for children and creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment. I have 10+ years of experience working with kids of all ages and abilities. I am a family support specialist with an education in Human Development and Psychology, certificates such as First Aid, CPR, Human Services, etc. I understand and implement the importance of supporting each child’s growth in learning, communication, regulating emotions, building confidence, and developing independence. With this knowledge, I use play very intentionally. I tailor play to each child’s age, mood, energy level, and developmental stage, thoughtfully choosing activities that support their needs in the moment through regulation play, physical activity, creativity, life skill learning, independent exploration or social interaction. I am patient, dependable, and attentive, building trust with both children and parents through reliability and open communication. I know family life can be busy, and sometimes having an extra person around makes all the difference. My goal is to bring a calm, helpful presence into the home so children feel cared for and parents feel supported. Whether helping with daily routines, household tasks, or play time, I am dedicated to providing care that gives families peace of mind.

$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Elgin, TX

Hi! My name is Melody, and I am a senior at The University of Texas at Austin. I am also a member of the track and field team. I have three summers of experience working at a nature-based preschool, where I worked with children ages 1–9. I am majoring in Psychology and researching in child development. Because of my education and experience, I love applying what I learn about child development to the children I care for. My goal is to provide each child with the best care while being able to provide a safe, engaging, and supportive presence for them. In addition to childcare, I also have experience with house cleaning and pet care, so I am also able to help provide any extra duties as needed.

“Melody came to our rescue as a last-minute sitter, and we couldn't have been more pleased! She was kind, communicative, punctual, and dependable. She showed up exactly when she said she would, and we really appreciated her willingness to help on short notice. We would absolutely welcome her back anytime!”

"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)."
