Jaiden $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a 4th grade History and ELA teacher. During the weekdays, I work with two classes of hyper 9–10 year olds. I truly love what I do. With that being said, I’m looking for part-time evening or weekend opportunities outside of school hours. My classroom experience has given me strong skills engaging children and managing groups. Prior to my current role, I worked as a long-term interim Lead Teacher in a Pre-K4 classroom with 22 preschoolers. That experience, along with 10+ years of babysitting, has made me very comfortable caring for multiple children at once and supporting busy households. I’m happy to help with homework, reading, and maintaining daily routines while parents are away. Qualifications: • 10+ years of sitting experience • Certified in Basic Life Support (CPR training) • Certified in First Aid (trained to respond to injuries and emergencies) • Pre-Nursing Student (Coursework in Life Development, Sociology, Psychology, and Anatomy & Physiology I & II) • 4th Grade Teacher (U.S History & ELA) • Former Pre-K3/4 Teacher

Booked by 6 families in Houston, TX

Hi! My name is Saniya, I'm an online college student with a flexible schedule who enjoys working in childcare. For four years, I've enjoyed supporting families as a reliable childcare provider & teaching assistant. I'm comfortable caring for one child at a time. I'm also happy to help with cooking and housekeeping. I am creative, friendly, and love to help kids embrace their imagination. I enjoy playing games or puzzles outside of electronics, with the exception of educational apps. I'm also very comfortable enforcing household rules. I provide regular updates to parents via text or phone call while also following their preferred communication methods. I have completed early child development coursework. I am also trained in First Aid. I hope to bring my enthusiasm and experience to your family.

“Saniya is a wonderful sitter. My first sitter cancelled on me and Niya responded to the request swiftly. She came in and my daughter took to her immediately. My toddler did not want her to leave and she even cried when she left. I recommend Niya 100% and will definitely use her again.”

Hello! My name is Aleah thank you so much for taking the time to review my profile. My hope is to create a fun, caring and nurturing environment for your child and or pet. Allow me to introduce myself: Childcare Experience I began caring for children as a teenager through my church’s childcare services. I started in the nursery, caring for children ages newborn to one year old. I was responsible for diaper changes when needed, making sure the babies had plenty of age-appropriate toys and activities to stimulate their developing minds, and helping maintain nap time. I also made sure the babies were comforted whenever they began to miss their parents and, of course, safely returned them to their parents when church was over. As a young adult, I worked at a daycare with children ages four to five. I led pre-kindergarten after-school care, helping create a safe, nurturing, and positive environment. I assisted the children with homework, encouraged their academic development, and helped them better understand the work they were completing. I also maintained the cleanliness and organization of the classroom to promote a healthy learning space. In addition, I planned and implemented engaging after-school activities that supported the children’s social, creative, and cognitive development. I also have experience working with teenagers ages thirteen to seventeen. During an internship, I worked as a camp counselor where I mentored teenagers through both small- and large-group settings. I supported teens as they worked through emotional, spiritual, and personal challenges. I also participated in a mission trip with the students where we visited neighborhoods and helped provide resources to families in need. Pet Care Experience I have experience caring for my family’s pets, especially when their owners are out of town. This includes making sure they are walked every day, provided with breakfast and dinner, entertained, and cared for until their owners return. I also have experience dog sitting in other people’s homes. This typically includes following their feeding schedule, taking daily walks, providing companionship, and making sure they are comfortable while their owners are away. My Personal Policy One thing I truly stand by is constructive criticism with kindness. I want to make sure that your child or pet is well taken care of at all times so If there is ever any way I can improve please let me know. I look forward to working with you!

"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)."
