Janneh $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello Families, I am excited to share my experience and approach as I apply for the position of babysitter/dog sitter/caregiver. With a background in education, particularly in working with elementary and middle school students, I have developed a deep understanding of how to create nurturing and supportive environments for children and pets alike. In my previous role, I focused on establishing a structured and engaging atmosphere, which I believe is essential for fostering growth and comfort. I understand the unique needs of each child and pet, and I prioritize differentiated care to ensure that everyone feels secure and valued. I utilize structured methods to create predictability and routine, which can significantly reduce anxiety and enhance focus for children. This approach allows me to maintain a calm and organized environment where learning and play can thrive. Collaboration is key to my practice, and I always welcome input from parents or pet owners to ensure that I meet their specific needs and preferences. I value open communication and believe that involving families in the process promotes a seamless transition and reinforces positive experiences at home. Building strong relationships is at the core of my philosophy. I take the time to understand the interests and needs of the children and pets I care for, enabling me to create engaging activities that resonate with them. I am eager to bring my skills and passion for nurturing care to your family. Thank you for considering my application, and I look forward to the opportunity to contribute positively to your household. Warm regards, Janneh

Krishawna $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a caring, patient, and dependable sitter who genuinely enjoys working with children and helping families. I love being a sitter because I enjoy watching children learn, grow, explore, and develop their own personalities. I take pride in creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and cared for. I have professional childcare experience working at Primrose Schools, where I worked with children of different ages and helped with daily routines, activities, playtime, and providing attentive care. My experience has helped me develop patience, responsibility, and the ability to understand each child’s individual needs. I also have CPR and First Aid training. Some of my skills include supervising children, preparing activities, assisting with meals, helping with routines, keeping play areas clean, and communicating with parents. I am responsible, attentive, trustworthy, and passionate about making sure every family feels comfortable knowing their children are in good hands. I look forward to building meaningful relationships with families and providing loving, reliable care!

"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)."
