Hajar $25 per hour for 1 child

Supporting families by providing reliable and loving childcare brings me genuine joy. With 9 years of experience caring for children of all ages — from newborns to teenagers — I’ve developed strong skills in creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment. I feel comfortable caring for one child but have no problem managing multiple children at once. I’m friendly, approachable, and maintain clear communication with parents to ensure we’re always on the same page. I enjoy playing board games and puzzles with children and love helping them learn through play. I have completed my high school education and take pride in offering care that is both responsible and fun. I’m certified in First Aid, CPR, and AED for both adults and children, ensuring that every child under my care is safe and well looked after. I am also responsible, patient, and flexible. Additionally, I have my own car, which allows me to arrive on time and provide reliable transportation whenever needed.

Nattida $22 per hour for 1 child

I have professional pediatric nursing experience from Thailand, where I provided comprehensive care for infants, children, and adolescents in a hospital setting. My responsibilities included monitoring vital signs, administering medications, preparing medical equipment, assisting doctors during procedures, and providing emotional support to both young patients and their families. I cared for children with various conditions, such as fever, respiratory infections, dehydration, post-operative cases, and chronic illnesses. I ensured safety at all times, followed infection control protocols strictly, and responded quickly to any changes in a child’s condition. In addition to clinical tasks, I also assisted with feeding, bathing, comforting anxious children, and helping them feel safe and calm during treatment. I communicated with parents clearly and compassionately to keep them informed about their child’s progress. This experience strengthened my ability to multitask, remain calm under pressure, and care for children with patience, empathy, and professionalism. I am confident that my pediatric nursing background allows me to provide safe, attentive, and high-quality care in any childcare or part-time caregiving role.

"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)."
