Hello, my name is Alejandra and I am currently available to take care of children from infant to high school age. I was an au pair for two years, caring for three children. I am experienced in all aspects of normal daily routines like getting kids ready for school, preparing meals to include packing school lunches and snacks, doing laundry, bath time, light housekeeping, and running errands. As a special education teacher with experience with children of differing abilities, I am skilled in developing appropriate goals and facilitating play-based learning to help meet developmental milestones. I am a non-smoker with no allergies and I love all animals.

Isabel $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Isabel and I have recently graduated from high school. I’m planning on going to JMU in the fall. I’ve had experience with watching kids and animals since I was in 7th grade: I grew up babysitting by taking care of the younger members of my family, even if I was still a baby then, too! I love babysitting and I’d be more than willing to help out with groceries, chores, drive around the kids, or even help with cooking if needed. I am CPR certified, Stop The Bleed certified, and I recently became a CCMA (certified medical assistant) certified. I’d make sure that your children have a fun (yet safe!) time with me. Thank you for your consideration!

Caroline $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi – My name is Caroline and I’m currently an English major at the University of South Carolina. I offer child care, pet care, and household services.

I help with meals, homework, bedtime routines, and enjoy reading and playing games with the kids I care for. I'm also experienced in pet care, including feeding, walking, and playtime. I’ve worked in customer service roles, like bussing at a country club, which strengthened my communication and multitasking skills. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and always aim to create a positive, respectful relationship with every family I work with. I’m also a yoga student, a creative writer, and a member of Best Buddies, where I foster friendships with individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

"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)."
