Dear Family, My name is Sophie. I am patient and loving. I am interested in a part time nanny position or occasional sits. I have had a decade of experience nannying and babysitting children of all ages, from infants to preteens, I am CPR, AED, and first-aid certified. My hobbies include walking, swimming, biking, singing, baking, cooking, painting, and practicing yoga. As a childcare provider, I enjoy sharing my love for the earth and creativity with kids. I think it’s important to provide children with a safe, fun and comfortable environment. I look forward to getting to know your family!

“Both of our girls were happy. Sophie was friendly and did everything that's needed taking care of 2, children under 2. Arrived early and gave us a rundown of how the night went, on the return home.”

I’m a certified art teacher with experience working closely with elementary and middle school students. Im also a recent graduate from UT Austin and would be able to help children with homework. I also speak Spanish and a bit of french! I create a positive, creative environment where kids feel safe, supported, and encouraged to express themselves. As a teacher, I manage routines, provide positive reinforcement, guide behavior with patience, and keep students engaged through hands-on, imaginative projects. I’m reliable, nurturing, and attentive to each child’s needs. I’m also comfortable with light household tasks and pet care, I grew up with dogs and cats and have experience staying organized and multitasking in busy environments. My calm and creative approach helps me build strong, trusting relationships with kids and families.

Hello! My name is Kam! I’m currently a full time nanny for a private family. Prior to nannying, I was an ABA therapist. This taught me a lot about teaching styles and learning styles. I have experience with a vast variety of ages from toddler to adult caretaking. I would love to be an addition to the right household! (:

Lu Lu $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m here to make your life a little easier and your child’s day a lot brighter. Some call me the “child whisperer,” and honestly, it fits. I have a natural ability to connect with children, keep them engaged, and create a safe, positive environment where they can simply be themselves. Professionally, I’ve partnered with schools like IDEA Public Schools and KIPP, serving as a substitute teacher and supporting classrooms with care, structure, and energy. I bring that same level of attentiveness, patience, and reliability into every home I step into. Whether you need support for a date night, a weekend getaway, or just an extra set of hands, I’m here to help. You can expect someone who is present, trustworthy, and genuinely invested in your child’s well-being and happiness. Looking forward to being a helping hand you can count on.

"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)."
