Mercy $17 per hour for 1 child

I’m looking for a nanny position where I can build a consistent, long-term relationship with a family and become a supportive, dependable presence in the home. I bring several years of both informal and professional, hands-on childcare experience, rooted in a lifelong foundation of caregiving. Raised in a family of female educators, I grew up surrounded by teaching, mentorship, and patience, and these values continue to shape how I care for children today. My background includes work as a private babysitter, part-time nanny, elementary after-school aide, church nursery assistant, and camp counselor. I also come from a large, close-knit family with 11 nieces and nephews, where I’ve played an active role in caregiving, including managing daily routines, preparing meals around dietary restrictions, supporting nap schedules, and guiding play across developmental stages. My experience has shaped me into a calm, responsible, and dependable presence. I’m best suited for families with up to three children, comfortable with pets, and currently focused on roles with toddlers and school-aged children rather than infant care. I value consistency, trust, and open communication, and aim to create a home environment where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to grow.

Sebabatso $20 per hour for 1 child

I am a patient, down-to-earth, and reliable individual who values punctuality and consistency. While I may be quiet at first, I am very attentive and caring once I get to know people. My childcare experience began at home helping care for my younger brother, who is now 8 years old. This early responsibility inspired me to pursue professional experience, and I volunteered at a daycare in my home country to deepen my understanding of child development. After that, I worked as an au pair in the United States for two years, where I gained hands-on experience supporting children and families in a structured environment. These experiences have strengthened my responsibility, adaptability, and genuine love for working with children. I am happy to tell you more about all that as soon as we connect!

Sarah $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Sarah, and I’m thrilled to be pursuing my passion for working with children as a nanny. I’m 29, and my love for kids started when I was a teenager babysitting. That experience inspired me to pursue a career in childhood counseling. After taking a detour to become a stay-at-home mom for almost two years following the birth of my daughter, I’m now excited to return to my passion and continue on this fulfilling journey. When I returned back to the workforce, it was in the insurance industry as a licensed insurance producer in Oregon and Washington. Although I enjoy helping people protect what matters most, the challenges of Corporate and the changing world has made me reconsider my path. After five years, I’m eager to once again pursue my degree in childhood counseling while working in a role that aligns with my passions. What I Offer: • Childcare: I provide a positive, nurturing environment that fosters emotional, educational, and social development. • Transportation: I’m comfortable driving children to/from school or extracurricular activities and have a clean driving record. • Homework Support: I assist with grade school level homework and learning activities to support your child’s academic growth. • Parenting Support: Experienced with Gentle Parenting techniques, but I’m happy to follow your preferred parenting style and approach. • Outdoor and Creative Activities: I love spending time outdoors, doing crafts, and visiting the library with children. • Household Assistance: I’m available to help with cooking, cleaning, and running errands, so you can focus on quality time with your family. • Pet Care: I’m an animal lover and am happy to help with pet care as well. I’m excited to meet you and your family and contribute to a happy, healthy, and enriching environment for your child!

"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)."
