Zayli $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi there, my name is Zayli Foreman I’m 23 years old and although I’m new to this app I am not new to childcare, I started out in Esthetician school and eventually decided that wasn't for me, I ended up falling into childcare a few years back and love it so much! I'm CPR certified, First Aid certified, and have taken courses in child development (I can provide proof if needed) I also can provide references from previous families I’ve worked for. My focus is on giving your child a safe, routine-focused, and creative space to learn and grow into a wonderful person. I love doing seasonal crafts, baking, pretend play and encouraging independent time, I'm very kind and reliable. And will work with you on any challenges your child may come to. In my personal time. love to shop, cook, get my nails done and do lots of self care things (very big on self care) feel free to message me with any questions or concerns! ( :

Hi! I’m Miya. I’m a mom, so I know firsthand how important it is to have someone patient, reliable, and attentive caring for your children. I truly enjoy spending time with kids and supporting their families. I have experience caring for babies, toddlers, and older children. Along with raising my own children, I have volunteered at my church daycare where I supervised activities, ensured a safe environment, assisted with meals, naps, playtime, and bedtime routines. I am comfortable with diaper changes, meal prep, bedtime routines, homework help, and creating fun, safe, and nurturing experiences for every child in my care. I always respect household rules and aim to make each child feel valued and supported. I would love the opportunity to help your family.

"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."

photo of quoted parent Eric

"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)."
