Amanda $23 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I have been teaching and caring for kids ages 18 mos-16 years for more than 25 years. I have two kids of my own who are school age, and have experience in caring for infants and pets as well. I have taught academics, social emotional skills, reading, music, dance, cooking, yoga, sports, fitness and art. I am CPR/IED/EpiPen certified and very safety conscious. I’ve cleared multiple background checks the past four years and can take another if needed. My style is nurturing and firm, structured but appropriately flexible. I’m a strong believer in play based learning, reading and singing daily. Mary Poppins is my role model! I make record keeping and parent/family communication a priority, to ensure trust and accountability are established and maintained. I provide a brief written summary of each child’s day/week and send photo/video updates during the day.

Janice $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a dependable and experienced caregiver with 9 years of hands on childcare experience. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with families in a variety of roles from babysitting and tutoring, to leading groups of kids at summer camp and afterschool programs. I’ve cared for children who are up to 16 years old (mostly school aged children aged 5-12), and I genuinely enjoy creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for them to grow and thrive. Whether it’s helping with homework, making dinner, cleaning up, putting them to bed, heading out to the park, or even binge watching their favorite movies on repeat (you would not believe how many times I’ve seen The Minions movies lol), I’m there with patience, energy, and a smile. I’ve also worked as an in home tutor for five years, specializing in Chinese, English, and math, which means I’m well versed in keeping kids focused and engaged academically, too. In addition to childcare, I have a lifelong love for animals. I grew up with five pit bulls in my home and have always been comfortable around pets of all kinds. I’ve petsat for friends and family, sometimes for up to two months at a time; making sure their pets were well cared for, exercised, fed, and loved while they were away. Families know me as approachable, responsible, and genuinely invested in the wellbeing of the kids and pets I care for. I bring heart, structure, and flexibility to every home I step into, and I’m always ready to help however I can.

"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)."
