Grecia $30 per hour for 1 child

Hiiii! My name is Ginnete, and I’m an experienced nanny and babysitter who genuinely loves working with children. I have experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children, creating safe, nurturing, and engaging environments where they can learn, grow, and have fun :) I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Cultural and Arts Management, and I love incorporating creativity, art, storytelling, and hands-on activities into everyday routines. I enjoy helping children build confidence, independence, and curiosity through play. I am patient, reliable, organized, and energetic. I’m comfortable managing daily routines, preparing meals and snacks, assisting with homework, driving children to activities, supporting nap and bedtime routines, and caring for multiple children at once. Safety is always my top priority. Families often describe me as caring, trustworthy, responsible, and easy to communicate with. My goal is to create a positive environment where children feel safe, supported, and excited to learn every day. I look forward to connecting with your family!

Hello! I’m a nurturing, compassionate caregiver with a lifetime of experience caring for children, adults, and seniors. I am mom of three wonderful adults, with a degree in nursing (BS from UVA) and experience as an art director. Over the years, I’ve cared for people of all ages, from babysitting to working in children’s rehabilitation and autism support. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and recently trained as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT). I’ve also cared for seniors, recently supporting my own father through his dementia journey. With two cats and a lifelong love for animals, I’m equally at home with pets. Beyond caregiving, I enjoy ceramics, painting, and outdoor activities. I bring warmth, reliability, and a genuine love for people of all ages. I’d be honored to support your family—please reach out with any questions!

"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)."
