I have over 25 years caregiving experience and a Masters in Social Work. I have cared for and/or worked with people of all ages including in day cares, schools, in homes and in foster care, hospitals, in the community. I have experience with hospice care as a Social Worker, not an RN. My career has been focused on working with folks having mental health and/or behavioral issues, those needing psychiatric care, developmental, and/or medical care and case management. I have an active license in CPR, First Aid, and CPI. I’ve owned and cared for pets my entire life. Currently, I care for, and deeply love, an Australian Cattle Dog named Fennel. I recently lost my job and am looking for work. I am open to various offers and opportunities. My hourly rate starts at $25 an hour, cost depends on the need and logistics.

I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids (including twins!) for two decades. My responsibilities have included cooking, driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and even dance lessons. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own grandchildren and am comfortable with pets.

Hello, I'm a single mom who has raised 2 sons that now have families of their own. I have 3 grandchildren, and it's what pushed me to make a career move after 15 years at a sales job that I was unhappy in. I started watching my grandson every Saturday when he was just 6 weeks, and it was such a joy that I decided to take the plunge and market myself as a Nanny. I have worked for families with infants & toddlers, starting at 6 weeks. I thoroughly love what I do and have excellent references. I am open to adventures outside the home, as well as transportation to & from school or other activities. I strongly believe in the benefits of reading & music. I am also a huge nature lover, and try to be outside any chance I get, trail walking, or go to a nearby park. Inside crafts and reading can be fun if the weather doesn't permit, and building forts or dancing to music always lifts the spirits! Music is life! I completed my certification in the "Child Care Aware" program which is offered thru the military. It involves a 6 week in depth course focusing on beyond the basics CPR & first aide for infants and toddlers. After completing the online portion there was a hands-On class to show what you had learned. I have several great references I've posted, and any of them would be happy to speak with you. My ideal job would be full-time and permanent, but I'm open to partime that has the potential to grow towards full time. I'm open to performing a variety of different duties in order to make life a little less stressful for you, and I also understand that the safety and development of your child is priority. I have a dependable vehicle that can accommodate child's car seats, and I have a clean driving record as well as state and federal background check I can share. I'm hoping to get the opportunity to speak further with you to see if you'd feel like be a good fit with your family thank you for taking the time and reading this.

Hi there! I have over 10 years of experience providing various forms of childcare, as well as 2 years of experience working in formal school settings as a kindergarten & preschool teacher. Some of the things I can offer are as follows: transportation to & from school or appointments, meal prep, tutoring or help with school assignments, assistance with pets, house cleaning, and more! I love spending time with children of all ages & backgrounds & would be thrilled to provide support to your family in any way I can! Especially happy working with neurodivergent children & queer families. I am currently in the process of applying for and completing prerequisites for midwifery school, so when I’m not caring for kiddos, you can find me volunteering at a local birth center or deeply engrossed in a book!

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
