Becky $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Becky, I’ve been babysitting since I was 11 and have lots of experience with toddlers and elementary-age kids. My responsibilities have included helping with homework, working on crafts, making meals, and picking up kids from school. I also tutored elementary students in math and English for a year until 2020, and I really enjoyed it! I would also be happy to drive your kids to their extracurriculars. I’m currently a tax accountant, but I would like to pursue nannying because I find caring for kids more fulfilling. I also have experience with pets, I have two cats named Buddy and Olive, and a golden retriever named Clara, so I’m happy to help take care of pets! I am First Aid and CPR certified so you can feel confident your child is in safe hands. Thank you for considering me!

Randi $18 per hour for 1 child

I have worked with kids for a while now, it comes easy to me. I did volunteer work on and off with kids for about two years then I have worked with kids this whole time this past year. The age range was wide but it helped me be able to learn new skills, because the most important things when caring for a kid is there safety and happiness. I also understand that a kid is stress full, so I’m so up for taking care of household chores as well! I like to say when I’m put into a situation my great at adapting.

"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)."
