Audrey $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Audrey, and I have always loved working with both children and animals. I have experience nannying for a military family with three young girls, volunteered in church childcare programs, and have helped care for my many nieces and nephews over the years. I'm dependable, active, patient, and enjoy creating a fun and safe environment for kids. As I begin building my career in real estate, I'm looking for flexible nannying and babysitting opportunities and have weekday availability. I'm also very comfortable around pets, as I've grown up with animals and love caring for them. I look forward to helping your family!

Steven $17 per hour for 1 child

I just love children! Their safety is my number one priority. Although I don't have too much experience babysitting, I have taken care of kids before and pets as well. I currently work in the restaurant industry, but am looking to supplement my income.

Julie $35 per hour for 1 child

I have extensive experience caring for children of all ages, from infants through teens. My background includes 17 years as a highly sought-after full-time nanny & household manager. I hold a Master of Education in Family Education and a Bachelor of Science in Family Social Sciences. I am offering weekday evening and weekend day/evening childcare. For the past 10 years my professional work has included educating and training parent coaches, caregivers, and other educational, therapeutic, and social-service professionals in child and adolescent development, positive discipline approaches, and strategies that support healthy neurodevelopment, emotional and physical well-being. I have experience caring for children with diverse needs and work closely with parents to understand and support their child. I’m intentional about communication and collaboration so care is consistent and proactive. Parents often describe me as warm, fun, creative, intuitive, and deeply attentive. Children tend to feel comfortable with me quickly because I’m genuinely interested in who they are — their personalities, interests, senses of humor, sensitivities, and strengths. I don’t just supervise - Whether we’re being playful and silly, creating something together, or winding down for the night, I’m fully present and engaged. Over the years, I’ve supported children through a wide range of everyday learning and growth — from early milestones like walking, reading, dressing, and toileting, to school support, creative projects, developing independence, and building skills. I’m comfortable supporting homework, activities, transportation, appointments, child-related errands and the many moving parts of family life, being mindful of opportunities to help the children grow in confidence and capability, using relationship connection as our anchor. I bring a youthful energy to my work and am just as happy on the floor playing, laughing, or following a child’s lead as I am providing calm structure, guidance, and reassurance. While I have my own caregiving style, I deeply respect each household’s routines, priorities, and preferences, and strive to provide continuity of care. I've dedicated my academic, professional, and personal life to supporting parents and helping children thrive. I want parents to know that when their children are with me, they are safe, understood, and genuinely cared for. I’m happy to care for pets while providing childcare.

"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)."
