Raeani $10 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Raeani or Rae for short. I’ve been taking care of kids since I was 10 years old and currently working as a teacher assistant. As an oldest sister, I’ve been around kids my entire life. I’ve always enjoyed creating a fun, safe space for the little ones. I was the neighborhood babysitter for years, and since moving away I’ve been looking to find more opportunities to help! As a babysitter, my duties were making sure homework and clothes were ready for school the next day, staying on time with a bedtime/routine, meals were prepared and planned for breakfast, lunch, and or dinner, and coming up with new activities to do. As an assistant teacher, my role is to take over once the lead leaves. During my day, I prepare the snacks, put them down for nap time, change diapers, learn and teach the age appropriate curriculums, and send in live updates to the parents. I have also been a dog sitter/grown up with pets. My longest job was 13 months while the owner was out of state.

"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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

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)."
