Jada $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Jada and I’m an experienced and enthusiastic childcare provider with a strong background in working with kids of all ages. I spent three months as a camp counselor for children ages 5–7, where I led fun, engaging activities and helped create a positive, safe environment for all campers. For the past eight months, I’ve also worked as a behavioral technician supporting children ages 3–17, gaining valuable experience in understanding different behaviors and meeting each child’s unique needs. I'm currently continuing this work while attending Rice University as a college student. I'm creative, responsible, and genuinely love working with kids! I enjoy dancing, crafting (especially painting), and cooking fun meals. I’m also happy to help with household tasks like cleaning and organizing. I have a valid driver’s license and am comfortable with school pickups, drop-offs, or running errands. I’m excited to bring energy, patience, and care into a family's home and look forward to connecting with you!

Booked by 1 family in Houston, TX

Hi! My name is Halie, and I’m currently a Biology major on the pre-med track at Texas Southern University. My love for caring for children started at a young age after becoming an aunt to four amazing nieces and nephews. Through babysitting and volunteer experiences, I have gained hands on experience caring for children of different ages, ensuring their safety, planning fun activities, helping with homework, preparing simple meals, and maintaining a positive, nurturing environment. These experiences have strengthened my patience and communication. As someone who hopes to become a pediatrician, I truly enjoy building meaningful relationships with children and helping them learn and grow. I understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can trust, and I always strive to provide dependable, attentive, and compassionate care. I am happy to assist with light housekeeping related to the children, meal preparation, bedtime routines, and keeping kids engaged through games, crafts, reading, and running errands if needed. My goal is to create a safe, fun, and caring environment where both children and parents feel comfortable and supported.

“Very patience and fun baby was having a blast with her!”

"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)."
