Nomthandazo $22 per hour for 1 child

Nurturing young minds is my passion. My five years of experience caring for children aged 6-11 have solidified my commitment to fostering their growth and development. Previous babysitting roles sparked my desire to make a positive impact on children's lives. I am patient, calm, creative, and friendly. I communicate with parents through verbal updates at pickup, and regular texts or phone calls. I am comfortable enforcing household rules. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, and educational games. I am comfortable caring for one child at a time. My skills include First Aid Training, CPR Training, and Early Child Development Coursework. I am happy to help with cooking, meal preparation, carpooling, and swimming supervision. I'm eager to bring my energy and experience to your family.

Oly $35 per hour for 1 child

For the past five years, I've had the rewarding experience of babysitting, starting with watching my family's kids and gradually expanding to their friends' children. As an only child, I've always had a natural connection with kids, which grew stronger as I began to see myself not just as a caregiver but as a child's best friend. I realized that I genuinely enjoyed building trusting relationships with the kids I watched over, offering them the attention, care, and fun they needed. As my confidence and experience grew, I decided to venture beyond my immediate circle. I began nannying for families in the local community, working independently without the aid of an agency.l felt confident in my ability to manage my own schedule, provide high-quality care, and meet the unique needs of each family.

Idali $17 per hour for 1 child

Ive taken care of children and pets for as long as I can remember. My parents were always working growing up, therefore, I had to care for my baby brother since the age of 5. I basically raised him. I’m 25 and he’s 20 now by the way. I’ve also baby sat my niece and nephew and a few neighbors children growing up. As far as pet experience, I’m a vet tech with ample animal experience/knowledge. Cleaning and household upkeep is a major part of being a vet tech as well. But even if I hadn’t became a vet tech, I’d still have the knowledge/experience because I grew up in a Hispanic household where cleaning is mandatory at a very young age.

"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)."
