Kasey $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kasey, and I’m 18 years old. I’ll be attending Longwood University this fall, where I’ll be studying Psychology. I’m currently looking to connect with families in the Midlothian/Richmond area who are seeking a dependable, caring, and engaging nanny or babysitter. I have been babysitting since I was 14 and have experience caring for children from newborns through age 10. Most of my experience has been with infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children, including regularly caring for twin 2-year-olds. Throughout high school, I also volunteered in a local kindergarten classroom because I genuinely enjoy helping children learn, grow, and build confidence. I strive to create a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children feel comfortable and supported. I enjoy spending time doing arts and crafts, reading stories, imaginative play, outdoor walks, games, and other age-appropriate activities that keep children engaged while encouraging creativity and learning. In addition to childcare, I am happy to assist with light housekeeping, children’s laundry, meal and snack preparation, homework help, transportation, and keeping play areas organized. I have my own vehicle and reliable transportation, and I am comfortable caring for families with cats and dogs. Families describe me as patient, responsible, attentive, and dependable. My goal is always to provide parents with peace of mind while ensuring their children are cared for, encouraged, and genuinely enjoy their time with me. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and see if I would be a good fit for your childcare needs.

"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)."
